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.

Volvo shows glimpses of new Concept C Coupe ahead of Frankfurt [w/video]

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Volvo has released a short teaser video for a concept car that will be unveiled on August 29 ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show. At first glance, it would appear to be nothing more than a few sketches and some words from Volvo design boss Thomas Ingenlath, but at about the 11-second mark, four images are flashed on the screen revealing the true nature of the video - the Volvo Concept C Coupe.
As Inglenlath suggests in the video, this new concept is designed to help bring more excitement to the brand's lineup, and from what we can tell in these strategically captured shots, the company is definitely on to something. While we don't get too much of look from any one angle, the front reveals what appears to be a concave version of Volvo's signature grille and the side shows off a stylish greenhouse. We have to wonder, do these images confirm the identity of the mystery concept car that's been floating around the Internet this week? In either case, our favorite view is perhaps the rear shot giving us a glimpse of the car's name as well as its flat, wide haunches and C-shaped taillights.
Scroll down to watch the whole video, and if you don't have a trigger-quick mouse finger, don't worry. We made a gallery of screen shots showing the four embedded images.

Volvo Concept Estate is a brown shooting brake, need we say more?

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Set for a debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show next week, images of the Volvo Concept Estate have found their way onto the web courtesy of Jalopnik. If the Concept Coupe from Frankfurt were a modern P1800, the Concept Estate is a modern P1800ES.
We briefly detailed the finale to Volvo's trio of concept cars earlier this week, when images of it poked out finished in a custom car cover. Now, with a batch of uncovered images at hand, we're able to see just how pretty this brown beauty really is.
Below the beltline, this is pretty much the Concept Coupe, featuring the same T-shaped headlights and wide, rectangular grille. Above the beltline, though, things get fun. The long, glass roof terminates in a squat, wide rear end which is set off by a pair of meaty haunches. The taillights, meanwhile, expand on the style shown on Volvo's Detroit concept, the Concept XC Coupe. And that hatch opens up into a rather cavernous rear end.

Volvo Cars delays EX90 production

Thu, May 11 2023

Sweden-based Volvo Cars has delayed the start of production of its new Volvo EX90 model for more software development and testing, it said on Thursday, sending its shares down 5%. The company now expects to start production of the fully electric SUV in the first half of 2024, it said in a statement. Volvo Cars, majority owned by China's Geely, unveiled the model late last year, expecting it to hit showrooms in early 2024. Production was previously planned to begin at the end of 2023, a Volvo Cars spokesperson said. He declined to say when the company now expects the model to reach showrooms.
