This auction is for a 2003 Volvo S80 T6.  It is a 6 cyl, twin turbo with an automatic transmission that also has the option to shift gears manually.  I have owned 4 of these and the motors have alway run great well over the 200K mile mark.  The transmissions are usually a little less flawless but they seem to keep going and going.  One example was my 2000 - the transmission started shifting rough once in a while around 70K miles and it finally went out on that car at 227K miles.  This car is in real nice shape inside and out for a ten year old car.  The pictures show the condition well.  I got it for my son and he's used it for the past few months and drives it back and forth to a local job as well as a local college.  We put new floor mats, center console cover and battery in when we got it and went over the car real well.  It has been very reliable.  The car does have some minor issues but nothing I think is major.

Every now and then it runs rough for 20 or 30 seconds when you first start it and that has set the check engine light off twice.  The local autozone reset the light and it showed an oxygen sensor code.  My experience with these cars tells me it's likely one of the coils starting to get weak.

It also occasionally can't decide if it wants to shift into 4th or stay in 3rd gear and my son just uses the shifter to shift it into 4th.  ZThis has happened about 4 times over the past three months.

The front tires look good but the back tires have some dry rot cracks on them.  We've never had to put air in them but I would recommend replacing them.  They also have a VERY aggressive tread to them and are noisy when you're driving.

There is only one key to the car and no remotes. My son decided he wanted an old Honda Civic instead of the S80 so this car has to go.  This is a no-reserve auction so bid to win and ask all questions prior to bidding.  I'll be away from Thursday through Sunday and will answer questions if I can get near a computer.  Thanks for looking.

Volvo credits China, Europe for first-half profitability

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

If everything goes to plan, Volvo might be showing the first signs of a turnaround after several years coping with old products and a staid image. The Swedish brand is imminently launching its next-gen XC90 SUV on a completely revised, modular platform and using a cutting-edge family of engines, and it has even more products to take advantage of the fresh components on the drawing board. "We are excited about the launch of the all-new XC90, which marks the beginning of the re-launch of the Volvo brand," said CEO Håkan Samuelsson in the company's announcement. In the meantime, the business is moving back to profitability and is even forecasting growth through the rest of 2014.
In Volvo's recently released financial and sales results for the first six months of the year, volume was up 9.5 percent to 299,013 cars. On top of that, operating income reached 1.21 billion Swedish krona ($175 million) after posting a loss in the same period in 2013. Net income was also improved to 535 million Swedish krona ($77.4 million), which was also a reversal from a negative last year.
With these great results, Volvo is now forecasting 10 percent sales growth worldwide by the end of the year, and the key to it is a booming market in some regions. China, home to parent company Geely, was up 34.4 percent first half of the year. It's now Volvo's biggest market in the world and helped by exclusive models like the S60L (pictured above) and S80L. "We are growing our presence in China and we expect to sell at least 80,000 cars there this year," said Samuelsson in the company's forecast.

Volvo confirms return of the wagon with V60 headed to US

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Turns out that promised new production Volvo model for the United States is indeed the V60 wagon, as we had previously predicted. And it's not terribly surprising, as Volvo has a long and storied history of wagon sales in the US, from the old, loveable 240 to the more recent high-performance V70R. And yet the automaker hasn't had a proper non-XC, non-crossover-style wagon in the US since it pulled the V70 away at the end of the 2010 model year.
"The new Volvo V60 is for people who want the handling of a dynamic sports sedan but need the versatility of a wagon," says Volvo, highlighting the reason many of us on the Autoblog team harbor such fondness for wagons in general.
Volvo is currently showing off the R-Design package for its entire model line, including the V60, at the New York Auto Show. We don't know for sure if the V60 will launch with the R-Design package or if it will come at a later date, and we also see no mention of a Polestar edition, though we're hopeful.

12-year-old golfer wins Volvo for hole-in-one [w/video]

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Some people just have all of the luck. Natasha Oon, a 12-year-old girl in Malaysia, was recently attending the 40th RSGC Ladies Amateur Open Championship at the Royal Selangor Golf Club with her parents. On a whim, she teed up a shot with her eight iron and scored a hole-in-one. That would have been impressive for a girl her age by any standards, but she didn't see the sign that said making the shot also won her a new Volvo XC60 T5. Not a bad prize for a tween who won't be allowed to drive for at least a few years.
So what does any good 12-year-old do with a CUV? Give it to her parents of course. According to website Paultan, she plans on giving the crossover to her mom and told her, "this is the car that you will use to drive me to school every day." Scroll down to watch video of Oon receiving the oversized key to the Volvo with her family and a brief interview with her about what she was thinking when she found out she won a car for sinking a fantastic shot.
