Hi Everyone

Today I am selling my very reliable 1997 Volvo 850 T-5 (Turbo) wagon. This car is awesome. Before I go any further do some research on Google about this vehicle. You'll find that over all the owners of this type of vehicle, both make and model/year, are very proud and feel very safe and comfortable behind the wheel of this well built car. Many of them being original owners and are stilling driving it well above the 175,000 and even 250,000 with no major problems and more regular maintenance. In fact when Volvo first launched this model they actual gave a insurance policy to the original owner of the vehicle in the amount of 250,000 dollars to cover any accident while driving this vehicle, that how much faith Volvo had as a company that this vehicle would keep the family

I plan on down sizing to a less admirable vehicle to drive to work and around town because I want to pay off some debt. This vehicle  has  87,000 original miles. If you split that up between years that comes out to less that 5,000 miles a year. So this car has had very little strain put on it through out the years. Below are a list of specs on the particular make/model.

Paint 
-Color is a dark blue green
-Over paint is in good condition w/ one noticable scratch (see below in pictures and video)

Braking and Traction
-ABS (4-Wheel) 

Comfort and Convenience
-Air Conditioning 
-Power Windows 
-Power Door Locks 
-Cruise Control 

-Child Saftey Lock for rear Windows

Steering (Just had it aligned yesterday 1/28/2013)
-Power Steering 
-Telescoping Wheel 

Entertainment and Instrumentation
-AM/FM Stereo 
-Cassette 
-CD (Single Disc) 
-CD (Multi Disc) (has one in the truck but it has not worked for awhile, may be a easy fix though, the single one of dash works perfectly)
-Premium Sound System

Safety and Security
-Dual Air Bags 
-F&R Side Air Bags 
-Automatic Alarm Activated System

Seats
-Dual Power Seats in Front
-Leather Interior
-RARE Third Row Seat (facing out back window)

Roof and Glass
-Powered Sun Roof (absolutely no leaks)

Wheels and Tires
Alloy Wheels 
Tires (90 percent tread still left, only 4-5 months old on all 4 wheels)

This car runs super well and the AC is ice cold. It is very very comfortable to drive and the seats are very spacious. Leather is in great-good condition with minimal cracks and NO Tears. The only thing I can say about this Beauty is that the center back brake light on the glass window went out and needs to be changed and also the right front head light (not high beam) needs to be changed.  BOth of these should coast in the ball park of 5-15 dollars. Also there is a scratch, as noted in the pictures where my wife scraped our mail box, this could also be buffered possibly. Please llok at the pictures and watch the videos linked below.

On Kelly Blue book website the care is listed as very good instead of excellent because of the above issue I just addressed. Below are the prices of each category for each condition this vehicle both make and model/year can be rated.

Excellent

Very Good (THIS IS THE CONDITION ON MY VEHICLE)

They don't make them like this anymore and one really cool feature of this vehicle is the backwards facing rear seats. If anyone reading this is older the maybe 28 years old you may remember these cool seats as children. It is a seat for one or two children that folds up from the floor in back and faces looking out the back window. It is very easy to access and put up and down. 

The Best Aspect of this vehicle of all IS THAT IT HAS ONLY 87,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT< WHICH IS VERY RARE. Please feel free to email me any questions. Below you can see the pictures and if you would like to stop by and see/test driver with me please feel free to do so by arranging a appointment

I am listing this as a NO RESERVE auction but I also have it listed locally and reserve the full right to end this auction to due this 1997 Volvo 850 t-5 with VIN number yv1lw5727v2292574 selling locally. Also I will be canceling the insurance on this vehicle upon selling it, so the buyer must provide their own insurance upon payment and picking it up.  This is exactly what the law requires when buying a car form a dealership before you can drive the vehicle off the lot.  It simple takes a phone call to your insurance provider and my be done before hand if you wish by providing the vin number.

Volvo will start testing wireless charging with XC40 taxis

Thu, Mar 3 2022

Volvo announced it will start testing wireless charging systems with its Volvo XC40 Recharge electric SUVs. It's doing so by creating a small fleet of XC40 Recharge taxis for Cabonline, the largest cab operation in the Nordic nations. The testing in Volvo's hometown of Gothenburg, Sweden, will last for three years, and Volvo notes that the driving conditions will involve 12 hours a day of driving with cars racking up 100,000 kilometers (about 62,000 miles) per year. The charging stations come from American company Momentum Dynamics. They're embedded into the pavement of the Volvos' parking spaces and begin charging automatically when parked correctly (which is aided by the on-board surround-view camera). The charging speed is 40-kW, which is close to the maximum charging speed of many electric cars' on-board chargers when connected to a DC station. Interestingly, Momentum Dynamics lists systems capable of charging speeds as high as 450 kW on its website. Volvo did not make any announcements regarding future availability of wireless charging. We would imagine the results of this testing will affect whether the company intends to make it a factory offering. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Next-generation Volvo XC90 interior revealed

Tue, 27 May 2014

Volvo has officially kicked off the slow burn that will lead to the eventual unveiling of the next-generation XC90, in August. Its initial foray into the public eye will be with these, a series of 20 images of the new three-row SUVs interior, which is very, very Swedish (there are even the most adorable little Swedish flags on the seats).
In all, it looks like a positively sumptuous place to sit, with sharp looking woods and a crystal shifter, crafted by Orrefors Glassworks in Sweden. It's a clean, minimalist design that we imagine will age quite nicely.
Featured quite prominently - and the main part of the cabin that doesn't strike us as minimalist - is the very large touchscreen. Aligned in a portrait layout, which hasn't been done by too many automakers, it will be home to a new type of infotainment system that will make its debut in Volvo's flagship SUV. It also looks like we can expect digital gauges when the XC90 finally arrives.

Kia EV9 wins 2024 World Car of the Year and World Electric Car at New York Auto Show

Wed, Mar 27 2024

The Hyundai Group refuses to release its kung-fu grip on winning prestigious vehicle awards, especially those for electric vehicles. In 2020, Kia took the overall World Car of the Year (WCOTY) title with the Telluride, won World Performance Car with the EV6 GT, and won the World Urban Car category with the Kia Soul EV. In 2021, after the Hyundai Group walked away with nothing but a free lunch, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 won the 2022 World Car of the Year laurels, plus World Electric Vehicle and World Car Design of the Year, followed in 2023 by the Hyundai Ioniq 6 winning the same three awards. Kia returns to the top step today, the new EV9 announced at the New York Auto Show as the 2024 World Car of the Year and World Electric Vehicle. Because the South Koreans like to do this in threes, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N won World Performance Car.  One hundred automotive scribes from 29 countries tested 38 vehicles for the main prize. The qualifications for entry are that a car must exceed 10,000 units in production annually, be on sale in at least two major global markets, and be priced below the luxury options in their respective regions. The EV9 beat the BYD Seal and the Volvo EX30 to the WCOTY title. Thirty-two cars vied for honors in the electric category, the EV9 outdoing the BMW i5 and the Volvo EX30. The German and the Swede aren't leaving New York with nothing, however, as the BMW 5 Series and i5 won the World Luxury Car title, and the EX30 won the World Urban Car trophy.  The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N outdid 16 other performance cars. We're sure there are engineers in Germany looking hard into their beer right now, the Ioniq 5 N pipping the M2 and XM to the victory circle.  The surprise of the bunch is the inclusion of the Toyota Prius, the global hybrid icon thrashing 70 other entries to win the 2024 World Car Design of the Year award. The other two finalists? The Ford Bronco and the Ferrari Purosangue. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the Prius.
