The sad day has come when I have to let go of this reliable beauty.  I have too many cars in my driveway and just bought another and this one must go.
 
This car has had 3 owners before me.  The first two of these was between 1997-2003.  When the second owner sold the car it had only about 55k miles.  The third owner had a minor accident with the vehicle in August 2007 and sold it to a car dealership which is where I purchased it. 
 
The dealer Steven let us know the previous owner was very aggressive about performing preventative maintenance that he didn't need to fix anything.  Since then the car has only needed a tune-up, new alternator, and motor mounts and routine maintenance.  I have put mostly highway miles on the car, I use it mostly on the weekend for my out of town trips!  The car has been very reliable and I wouldn't hesitate to take it on a cross country trip.
 
Some of the repairs include:
 
04/09- complete tune-up, spark plugs
07/09- new front brakes/rotors
05/10- new motor mounts/brakes
12/11- new tires
6/12- new battery
5/13-new alternator (pep boys)
 
The car has some cosmetic flaws as you may expect from a car from 1997.  There is a medium size dent from the prior owner's car accident.  The car has very little rust.  The car has NO damage from Hurricane Sandy, it is located a few blocks from Hofstra University which is miles from the water and wasn't impacted by the storm.  The interior has normal wear and tear, with the exception of the stain on the rear drivers side seat.  The vehicle has a CD player.  The AC works.  The sunroof works.  The rear wiper works (which is rare based on the age of the vehicle).  No damage to the windshield.  The speedometer is not working.
 
Those are all the details of the few issues that I know of.  The vehicle has been good to me, incredibly reliable and easy to take care of.  I'm sad to see this one go and I hope to pass it along to someone who will enjoy it as much as I did.  The car also includes a bike rack that has rarely been used.
 
$500 will be due via pay pal within 24 hours of the auction's close.  Once I have full payment I will express mail the title so that you can make arrangements with your State motor vehicle department for temporary registration, as the car does not have a current registration.  I will store the car for no charge for 10 days after the auction closes.  If we don't make other arrangements after that time there will be a storage charge of $20 per day.  I have too many cars in my driveway and got a new one.  I really don't have the room to store my new car as it is now.

2015 Volvo XC90 proves Sweden's auto industry is alive and well [w/video]

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

The most important new Volvo in quite some time has made its first auto show appearance, with the second-generation XC90 debuting at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
As we discussed in both our original post and Deep Dive feature, the new XC90 remains a three-row crossover for 2015, although it ditches the first-gen model's top-end, turbocharged six-cylinder in favor of a single twin-charged, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. By pairing that with a plug-in-electric powertrain, the king of the XC90 range, the T8 TwinEngine, will offer up 400 horsepower. So yeah, performance should be brisk.
Also appearing on 2015 XC90 will be an entirely new, Apple CarPlay-compatible infotainment system with a big, vertical touchscreen display at its heart. Based on the videos we've seen, the new system looks responsive, feature-laden and quite attractive.

Uber hopes facilities in Detroit will help shape its autonomous future

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Hot off the heels of unleashing its fleet of self-driving vehicles in Pittsburgh, PA, Uber announced plans to open a new facility in the Detroit, MI area, reports Automotive News. The new facility was announced at an event hosted by Society of Automotive Engineers in Detroit, MI. Uber's vice president of global vehicle programs Sherif Marakby revealed the news, reports Automotive News. The facility is meant to help the ride-sharing company collaborate with suppliers and automakers in the area. There's no word on where Uber will build the new facility or how big it will be, as those factors have yet to be determined. Just like Pittsburgh, PA, Detroit, MI could become another testing ground for the ride-sharing company. The latest move to open a facility in the Detroit area comes after Uber offered users in Pittsburgh the chance to ride in one of its autonomous vehicle as it looks to gain vital real-world testing. Uber is utilizing a fleet of modified Ford Fusions. Earlier this year in April, the automaker announced a partnership with Google, Lyft, Uber, and Volvo to develop autonomous cars. A new facility in Detroit would strengthen the partnership and help Uber, as well as Ford put autonomous vehicles on the road faster.

Volvo building new AstaZero safety proving ground in Sweden

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Volvo is an automaker committed to vehicle safety, setting an ambitious target for itself: by 2020, the Swedish automaker envisions that no one will be killed or seriously injured in one of its cars. In order to achieve that goal, Volvo has announced a new proving ground designed specifically to test safety solutions.
Called AstaZero, the new facility near the company's headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, is the result of a $70 million investment. It will cover some 500 acres, with over 60 acres of pavement, four city blocks and three and a half miles of highway. The Active Safety Test Area (the ASTA in AstaZero) will enable Volvo and its partners (including Scania trucks as well as government bodies and university development programs) to simulate city streets, highways, rural roads, roundabouts, T-junctions and more, combining traffic from cars, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, trucks and even animals in order to account for all manner of potential hazards.
The facility will enable Volvo to test active safety systems and autonomous vehicle operations, and even allow robots to test its prototypes in an adaptive environment that aims to be more flexible than existing proving grounds. Read more about Volvo's commitment to safety in the press release below.
