Sturdy, reliable, character-filled red Volvo V70 Cross Country (XC) needs a new home. All wheel drive (AWD), leather, cold a/c. The leather seats have been carefully maintained and are in great shape. Only 132,000 miles.

Volvos will run forever if they are maintained and this XC has been carefully serviced. We've invested over $2000 in preventive maintenance and service in the last month, including:

1) New ETM (electronic throttle body) with new upgraded magnetic brushless control (Xemodex) - the ETM is a known and expensive weakness in these cars, but the Xemodex unit is a permanent fix. 
2) New drive belt
3) New PCV system - Should be replaced every 100k miles or so.
4) New upper motor mount
5) New spark plugs and coils
6) Fresh oil change
7) Fresh transmission gearbox oil replacement (Redline)
8) Rear hatch clip upgrade - (tend to go bad and squeak and rattle; permanent fix)
9) New gas cover hinge (picture shows before fix) - common minor issue with Volvos

There are a few cosmetic imperfections to be aware of: the headliner is sagging a bit in the back ($200 fix), the tint on two windows is starting to bubble ($100 fix), and there are a few small dings on the doors and front hood, the rear left door auto lock works intermittently (still works), the moonroof doesn't currently retract (not sure why, probably a relay), and the plastic trim on the steering column is loose. 

This is a car for someone who values vehicles with character and personality; a car the stands apart from the herd of bland beige econoboxes. This is a car for someone who thinks the path matters as much as the destination.

Volvo teases new electric SUV for 2023 reveal

Wed, Nov 9 2022

At the launch of the Volvo EX90 flagship electric SUV, Volvo teased a new, smaller electric ute for reveal in 2023. At the end of the presentation (around 1:32:50), Volvo CEO Jim Rowan told media in attendance to look closely as animated graphics appeared on the screen behind the EX90. There, shrouded in darkness, we see the rear illumination of the EX90, with flashes of a smaller SUV appearing next to it briefly. Could this be an electric successor to the XC60, perhaps to be called the EX60? It looks like it could be smaller than the XC60, but it's hard to be sure in this dark image. We’ll have to wait until 2023 to know for sure. But Volvo has said it intends to release a new EV each year as it transitions to an all-electric lineup by 2030. Stay tuned.

Car dealers, factories and ports close in the path of Hurricane Florence

Thu, Sep 13 2018

Hurricane Florence has caused CarMax to close four stores in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The closed locations are in Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Winterville and Virginia Beach. It is possible for the company to close more stores, reports Automotive News. Daimler and Volvo have also shuttered their manufacturing facilities in the region to prepare for Florence. The storm is expected to reach North Carolina and South Carolina today or tomorrow. Automotive News says every coastal car dealer it reached on Tuesday was closing, and others not in the projected landfall area were monitoring the situation. There are approximately nine million vehicles in operation in the area that Florence is expected to hit, with a vehicle density of 162 vehicles per square mile. It is likely that not as many vehicles will be lost as during hurricanes Harvey and Irma, as population is less dense; areas affected by those storms had over 300 vehicles per square mile. The chief economist of Cox Automotive told Automotive News that some 20,000 to 40,000 vehicles could end up flooded if Florence keeps its path; however, recent reports have indicated Florence has weakened to a category 2 hurricane on Thursday. Tesla has again unlocked more range for some of its older models to make evacuation easier; the same was done a year ago in preparation for Hurricane Irma. As well as automotive manufacturers and dealers, automotive transport providers are readying for the storm and clearing cargo away. The container and auto terminals at Port Charleston will be closed from Thursday to Saturday, affecting part shipments to the BMW manufacturing facility in Spartanburg; BMW's spokespersons have said no production disruption is expected. Parts are delivered via railroad to Spartanburg by Norfolk Southern, which is also suspending operations for the time being. Vehicle hauler United Road has moved its rigs to safer regions and suspended deliveries, and car carrier vessels are trying to make it away from the storm's path in time.
