Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Small crack in tail light, small crack in rear bumper, minor scuffs from parking lots, minor dings on wheels but hard to see"

Buying a used car, especially from a distance, can be a nerve wracking experience. This car should take the worry out of your search. I have a 100% positive buyer/seller rating with Ebay on over 100 transactions and that includes one previous vehicle sold. I always try to be as precise as I can in describing the item for sale, include lots of photos, and, as of the time of this posting hope to have the fairest price on the block. This car has a story.

I am the original owner and only drive 5000 miles a year, almost all of it around town. This vehicle has never been farther than 400 miles from home and then only twice. I have a full history of maintenance all done at my local Volvo dealer and all done according to schedule. I would describe the car as being in good to excellent condition. The only thing that is keeping it from being in mint condition is a four inch slightly larger than hairline crack on the rear bumper and a small crack in the rear taillight both happening in a parking lot when I was not in the car. The car has never been in an accident. The interior is in excellent condition although the drivers seat reflects the use it has gotten. There are no rips, tears, or stains on the well maintained leather seats. After recently detailing it for purposes of this sale, it looks great. To my knowledge there is nothing wrong with any part, mechanical or otherwise, with the car. After I got the car detailed, which I do once a year, I honestly felt like I was driving a new car for a few moments.

Although the car has 30,000 miles on it, a low number for a car six years old, a brand new Volvo engine was installed by Volvo one year ago. The engine still has a one-year warranty left on it and should be honored at any Volvo dealership. Why a new engine? I expected to put at least a 100,000 miles on this engine as did my wife on her 03 XC70 but last year on my way to the airport the car computer told me to stop the car and check the engine because it was overheating. I did exactly that and, not being a mechanic, I didn't know what else to do other than check the coolant as I was on the Interstate halfway between Santa Fe and Albuquerque and 90 minutes away from boarding a plane to Canada. I got back in the car and drove it cautiously to see if the heat gauge needle would stay in the middle where it belonged. It did and I continued to drive it with the intention of stopping if I received another notice or, more importantly, saw the needle jump indicating an overheated engine. Neither happened. The needle stayed in the center the entire way to Albuquerque but twelve miles short of my destination the engine died from burning up. Foolish? Perhaps. Nevertheless I had to install a brand new engine. I was in Canada and at the mercy of my dealer where the car was towed. I didn't realize I could get a used engine, nor did I count on my Volvo dealer burning me on the cost of a new engine and the labor. The final bill came to about $14,000 due to a few other items that had failed like the engine harness ($1,400). What happened? The engine thermostat didn't tell the blades to open which controlled the air cooling of the engine. Although I had an extended warranty on the car there was an exclusion for thermostats. I pleaded with my dealer and corporate Volvo for some assistance as our extended family has purchased ten Volvos in the past decade. A 25,000 mile Volvo engine just shouldn't fail. Their engines are notorious for going way over 100,000 miles. So my misfortune is your good fortune. And since I never want to have to deal with my Volvo dealer again, I am selling the car. The V50 was discontinued after the 2011 model but the 2006 is essentially the same car and the first to have the revolutionary control panel design. I love this size of this car and now it's not available anymore. If you don't want to drive a car the size of the XC 70 or lumber around in an SUV but want the utility of a Volvo wagon this is now your only option. And you still have most of the great utility of an XC 70. Finding one with 3,500 miles on the engine is probably next to impossible. Factor in the double warranty, Volvo's unconditional warranty on the engine, and the 31 month or 30,000 mile extended warranty on the rest of the car including the engine provided by National Vehicle Protection (Contract #CCQ1010650) and you have an unusual opportunity.

What else can I tell you about this car. Do you want something with speed, power, and handling? This car is scary fast. Five cylinders help but it's the turbo that does it. You can pass a car on the highway in a blink of the eye which is comforting (no, don't blink) and it handles closer to a sports car than a station wagon, yet has all the utility of an AWD wagon with a special wide traction button. You can easily shuttle three 12 years olds and all their gear back and forth to school which is what I do all the time. Make no mistake. This is a luxury automobile approaching the appeal of a BMW or Mercedes. And you'll realize that the first time you drive it. It will feel like a new car to you minus that new car smell. If you haven't already test driven one do your best to find a good used one in your area (even though that may mean I lose the sale). Of course, if you're looking at my car you probably already know you want one.

I'm sure there's at least a few things I'm forgetting about in terms of describing this car so please feel free to ask questions. I didn't photograph every tiny ding and blemish but as you can see from the photos nothing much is visible from 5-10 feet. Please also note that some of the photos were taken before the car was detailed, I'm happy to furnish paperwork if asked such as receipts for service, the new engine, and the extended warranty policy.

How did I arrive at my asking price? It's not easy pricing a six-year old car (the styling stayed basically the same from 05 to 2011) with a new engine but I first got the Kelly Blue Book value for a 2006 with 3,500 miles inbetween excellent condition and good condition to arrive at a base price of $13,954. I then added value for the new engine which cost me $14,000 because of the extras like a new engine harness and several other items. I obviously can't pass anywhere near that amount onto the buyer but thought a third of that cost would be fair at $4,600. But because that still sounded too high I just decided on $2,500 for the new engine plus $500 for the full, unconditional warranty. I then added $1,100 for the extended warranty which is half over towards 60,000 miles and 58% over ending May 27th, 2006. Next, I added $200 for the almost new tires. Finally I subtracted $800 for the minor body damage (see photos) which gave me an asking price of $17,454. To tell the truth I don't know what a new engine is worth to a buyer. I'm thinking quite a bit because it's highly improbably you could find a used V50 with a new engine. Rarity has it's value but the market will dictate what it's worth which is why I have chosen the Auction option along with a Buy It Now price. When I compare my car to the other V50s currently listed I believe I have the best price. I'll find out soon enough. If you lived in New Mexico pick up would be easy but I sold my Volkswagon eight years ago to a man from Oregon who hopped on a plane and drove it home. The car is located in Santa Fe, one of the most unusual cities and popular tourist destinations in America. There's no place like it and I'm happy to arrange the logistics of a short tourist visit for you if you so choose. It ain't Sweden but it's not Dubuque either (no offense Dubuque, I have a good friend there and you have a nice town. Just not a whole lot to do there).

For the record I purchased the car from Albuquerque Lincoln/Volvo for $36,799 on May 24, 2006. You can see photos of the Extended Warranty Policy (fully transferrable), the receipt for the new engine, and the original car sticker description although some of it may be hard to read. I'm happy to scan and email anything you want.

I think I've said enough. Good luck on a great vehicle.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Sun, Jul 9 2023

The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric.Â Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands.Â If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) Â— unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla.Â Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor.Â Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have:Â Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners Â— those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port Â— will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 Â— eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.

Editors’ Picks July 2022 | Volvo XC60, 911 GT3 and a hot Hyundai

Tue, Aug 16 2022

This latest rendition of Editors’ Picks sees us recognize some enthusiast-focused vehicles on both sides of the price spectrum and a luxury SUV. The 911 GT3 was an easy shoo-in, but the Hyundai Elantra N is what surprised us the most. WeÂ’re sad to see the Veloster N bow out after this year, but at least the N model in its place is a worthy one. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in July that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 Volvo XC60 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge View 36 Photos Quick take:Â The Volvo XC60 is one of our favorite luxury crossovers, and the PHEV option is a killer setup. We dig the interior design, and the exterior is attractively Swedish, too. Score:Â 7.5 What it competes with: Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Genesis GV70, Jaguar F-Pace, BMW X3,Â Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class,Â Audi Q5,Â Lexus NX,Â Acura RDX,Â Volvo XC60,Â Lincoln Corsair,Â Infiniti QX50,Â Porsche Macan Pros:Â Great design, epic PHEV option, intriguing interior design options Cons:Â Tech can be cumbersome, big wheels lead to a stiff ride From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer Â— "When it comes to plug-in hybrids, there's no better compact crossover option than the XC60 Recharge. I really dig the extra-powerful electric motor and larger battery Volvo added this year. The interior wool option is my pick of the bunch, but I am a little disappointed that there aren't as many physical buttons throughout the interior as there were before." News Editor Joel Stocksdale Â— "Although it's got some age, the Volvo XC60 is still an excellent premium SUV. It's as handsome as ever with its clean, modern design inside and out, and feels genuinely luxurious. But what really sets the XC60 apart is its available plug-in hybrid powertrain. It's smooth and refined, and best of all, it's still great in electric mode.

Volvo announces design updates for XC40 Recharge and single-motor C40

Fri, Mar 4 2022

Volvo announced a round of updates to the electric members of its portfolio. It gave the XC40 Recharge a subtle mid-cycle update that brings a new-look front end, among other changes, and it unveiled an entry-level version of the C40 Recharge with one electric motor. It takes a well-trained eye to differentiate the updated XC40 Recharge from the model that's currently in showrooms. Look closely and you'll notice that the lower part of the front bumper is more chiseled, the Thor's Hammer accents in the headlights are more, well, hammer-like, and the body-colored insert that replaces the gasoline-burning model's grille loses its frame. These changes bring the battery-powered crossover in line with the C40 Recharge and with the non-Recharge version of the XC40, which received the nip-and-tucked front bumper in November 2021. Volvo also notes that buyers will also have new upholstery choices, exterior colors, and wheel designs to choose from. XC40 Recharge models also gain pixel LED lighting technology. This system relies on individually-controlled LED elements to illuminate the road ahead without blinding other motorists; in a way, it occupies a middle ground between high and low beams. While this technology has been illegal here for many years, the NHTSA finished making the rules for adaptive headlights in February 2022 so they're on their way. Moving on to the C40 Recharge, a front-wheel-drive version with a single electric motor is now available in some markets as a cheaper alternative to the dual-motor all-wheel-drive model. It's fitted with a 69-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, and it offers a maximum driving range of about 270 miles on the relatively optimistic European testing cycle. Volvo notes that charging the pack from 10% to 80% takes about 32 minutes when it draws electricity from a fast charger, but the firm hasn't provided technical specifications (like horsepower). For context, the existing dual-motor C40 Recharge is equipped with a 78-kilowatt-hour battery and its powertrain is rated at 402 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque. Its EPA-estimated driving range checks in at 225 miles, and it tips the scale at approximately 4,740 pounds. Volvo also restructured the trim level hierarchy in a bid to reduce complexity and make it easier for buyers to configure a car. Pricing for the updated 40-Series models hasn't been released yet, and neither car has been announced for the American market yet.
