Bought a new car

[SilentTrigger]

Bought a new car yesterday, bit of an uppgrade from my Volvo 850, the 850 was a great car but wanted to advance a little bit with a younger car so I bought a 2002 Volvo S60 (yes, i'm sold for volvos )

Has black and grey interior

Looks something like this:


I didn't take the photo, will try to sometime this weekend.

Smoth ride with engines from 140 hp to 300 hp so there's a great varity, the best seats in the world (that I've tried atleast, seems to be a general opinion)

Turning ratio isn't great, it's decent but I'd like more, this is an issue with all newer Volvos besides (as I've heared) 2009 models.

Havn't driven it much yet.

Thread cleaned up, id suggest if you had posts deleted you reconsider what you call appropriate to post. If you have any issues take it up with an admin via PM.

Admins: copy of thread before I took at it in moved threads.

My car has the 140 hp one, not the strongest engine in the world but it's enough for me, topspeed is 210 km/h

Isn't volvo owned by Ford? I have heard they are pretty dependable.

Do tell.

And while we're on the subject of cars..
My dad sold the Toyota '96 4Runner SR5 V6 that I was supposed to be driving in a few months >_<
It was in near-immaculate shape, too, a redone interior and upholstery would've done some good, but, man.
I loved riding in that thing.

Both yes and no. Volvo isn't owned by Ford but Volvo PV is, "PV" stands for "Personvagnar" which is cars. The Volvo Group is huge, it involes:

Volvo Trucks (18 wheelers, 24 wheelers etc)
------Mack Trucks
------Renault Trucks
------Nissan Diesel
Volvo Penta (Boat and ship engines)

Volvo CE (Excavators etc)

Volvo Aero (Engines for military and civil aircrafts)

Volvo Buses

Volvo IT

Volvo Logistics

Volvo Finacial Services

Volvo Cars /Now owned by Ford

There ware plans to buy Volvo Cars back into the AB Volvo, Volvo Group company but the Financial stability of the world crashed. Ford is eger to sell Volvo as it was a reson given from the US government before a loan to Ford could bye given, not sure how that went. Volvo PV was to be aquired by a Chinesse company but I'm not sure the Swedish gouvernment has agreed to this yet.

"I have heard they are pretty dependable" Yes they are There are still original Volvo's from the 40ies that have been treated badly that still run without any issues what so ever. You get atleast 80 000 miles out of a Volvo as long as you change oil and oil filter once in a while Probebly around 150 000 to 200 000 miles if you take some extra care to it

[atholon]

kewl. There's this guy at work that's run his cars into the ground at like 300,000 miles. I dunno how he does it. Probably has to fix them a lot.

i swap out the engine to save on fuel a bet and install a large fuel tank holds 20gals of unleaded gas. this car was made for leaded fuel and i had a team of grease monkeys help me (???.xx) get the right item to change it to run on unleaded gas.

huh , are you rich william , whats your work ?

[atholon]

I am glad for you ST. Looks like a sleak ride. The volvos I have seen here were all ugly stationwagons puke...

[SilentTrigger]

Thank you atholon.

Turned out there's an issue with the gearbox and some vibration from the engine (I noticed the gearbox but never the engine, a technician stressed the engine to a point where the vibration became obvious thats how we found it)

The gearbox will have to be taken out and repaired and they will have to try and find the cause to the engine vibration issue, will take a whole day
