Safety for Thought...

Image
OK, So here's something to think about...seatbelts. If you don't own a Volvo you are still benefiting from Volvo everytime you put your seat belt on. That's because Volvo invented the 3 point seat belt in 1959 (the lap/shoulder belt combo), and did not patent the invetion. It wasn't an oversight...Volvo wanted EVERYONE to benefit from the innovate safety feature, which has saved thousands of lives since its debut. Now think about this...Volvo has been pushing the safety envelope ever since they were founded in 1927, and unlike their competiton, safety still ranks as their primary core value...and Volvo are about to unveil yet another inovative safety feature on the all-new XC60. www.lehmanvolvo.com www.lehmanvolvoyork.com

Still a few Holiday Shopping Days Left...

What better time to Protect the Gifts You Already Have? Lehman Volvo is in the Holiday Spirit right now, and of course, all the new 2008 and 2009 models in stock are on sale...ALL OF THEM. And what's really cool is that there are more Volvo models availavle now then ever before. So...if Santa had to trade in his 9 reindeer, he could in fact replace them with 9 different Volvos. On C30! On S40! On V50! On S60! On C70! (Hard top up obviously) On V70! On XC70! On S80! On XC90!

The End of an Era. Lehman Motors Saab.

Well, it is with some sadness that the news is announced...Lehman Motors is no longer in the Saab business. While we have been serving South Central Pennsylvania for over 25 years with Saab's unique Brand the time has come to move on. This is all part of GM's restructuring program in which Cadillac-Saab-Hummer will be all under the same roof across the country. The result is Sutliff Cadillac-Saab on the Carlisle Pike in Mechanicsburg . The good news is that some of the Lehman Saab staff have landed positions at this new location, so it should be business as usual for our former clientele . Of course, when a door a closes a window opens and that window is Jaguar Harrisburg, which is located at the old Saab location on Grayson Road in Harrisburg. Volvo service will remain at this location, but the addition of Jaguar Sales and Service is an exciting change and we look forward to serving Central Pennsylvania with the unique British luxury brand that represents the very best in

Bark Buckle UP with Lehman Volvo

Image
OK, So Lehman Volvo has kicked off a new program starting this month...it's called Bark Buckle UP, and it is designed to educate drivers about the importance of pet travel safety. Think about it...we all buckle up to save lives, but less than 5% of the population secures their pets when they travel. And what people don't realize is that a 60 pound dog in a 35 mile an hour crash becomes 2,700 pounds of deadly force. This can not only injure of kill the dog, it can do the same to the other people in the vehicle. Currently, Lehman Motors in Mechanicsburg and Lehman Volvo in York have free pet travel safety kits available at the dealership...this kit includes safety information and decals for first unit responders so they know which vet to contact. Also, there will be safety material on display. Check it out. http://www.lehmanvolvo.com/ http://www.lehmanvolvoyork.com/ http://www.barkbuckleup.com/

Saab Cross Wheel Drive

Image
Saab was the first auto company to introduce the modern reliable Turbo. Other comanies had attempted turbocharging with less than stellar results, but it was the Saab 99 Turbo of 1978 that wowed the pressess and their owners with great performance and great fuel economy. That formula is still in place today, but now Saab has unleashed it's next great revolution...Cross Wheel Drive. It is a revolution in all-wheel-drive technology and it has landed at Lehman Saab. CHECK IT OUT! http://www.lehmansaab.com/

Spring is in the air...

The Lehman Volvo Spring Sales event is well underway. This means with the purchase or lease of a new Volvo XC90 or Volvo S80 you get a complimentary Garmin Navigation unit. If you haven't used a Garmin before you will wonder how you got by without one! The ability to take a vacation and not have to use a map, or the inevitable stopping and asking for directions...those days are over! The Garmin navigation unit will put an end to "I told you to stop and ask for directions". That alone makes the deal worth out...and the cars are nice as well :) Find your XC90 or S80 at: http://www.lehmanvolvo.com/ http://www.lehmanvolvoyork.com/ Thanks for checking out the Lehman Volvo Blogspot!

Auto Show Wrap-Up

Image
Well, the 2008 Pennsylvania Auto and Boat Show came to an end yesteday, and wow..the weekend was packed! There always seems to be a fascination with brand new products, and there were plenty on display. The big buzz around the Lehman Volvo stand was the IPD Volvo C30, a concept car that is based on the brand new 2008 Volvo C30. There were plenty of people taking pictures of this one! Believe it or not, this thing does run...and has a supercharger, AND N.O.S. set-up. ABC27 covered this vehicle, which makes 384 horsepower and 409 pound feet of torque. On the Saab side of the building there were all 3 variants of the 2008 Saab 9-3, and of course a 9-5 and 9-7X SUV on hand. Next year should be even better! www.LehmanVolvo.com www.LehmanVolvoYork.com www.LehmanSaab.com .

Volvo and Saab at the Pennsylvania Auto and Boat Show

Well, set-up was today for the big show and the excitement is building! Lots of new cars this year, including the Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan, Sport Combi and Convertible. Also, the Volvo C30, xc70, and V70. The Volvo display has a great concept car built by IPD. They have been tuning Volvos since 1963 and the car they have in Harrisburg is in a word...awesome. And since this is also a boat show, we have a new XC90 in towing row, hooked up to a very nice new boat powered by a Volvo outboard motor (of course!). You might not think of the XC90 as a towing vehicle, but it can tow up to 5,000 pounds without any modification, so yes it's safe to say you can haul your Volvo with a Volvo. Make sure you come out to The Pennsylvania Auto and Boat Show, starting TOMORROW at the State Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. You can purchase discount tickets at Lehman Volvo and Lehman Saab www.LehmanVolvo.com www.LehmanSaab.com

Auto Show around the corner.

If you love cars, The Harrisburg Auto and Boat show is the place to be. If you love Volvos and Saabs...you better believe there will be great new models on display from both brands. Also, there will be a Volvo concept car on display from IPD. This one is worth the trip! We won't give it away here, just come out to the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex from January 23rd to the 27th to see for yourself. Speaking of Auto Shows, the North American Auto Show is going on right now, and one of the big unveils was the Saab 9-4X concept. This crossover looks GREAT, and we will see a production version some time in the next year. There will also be a Volvo Crossover coming called the XC60, and that vehicle looks to be just as amazing. There is plenty to look forward to!

Happy New Year and new Saabs...FAST new Saabs

Image
In what is a very fast way to ring in the new year Saab has a couple of amazing performance vehicles. One here and one on the way. The one we have at Lehman Saab is the new 9-7X Aero. And it is a blast! 390 horsepower...all wheel drive...and a unique exterior. The Aero name means business, and the latest Aero will scoot to 60 under 6 seconds...not bad for a real size SUV. More details later on the other performance Saab...it will be legendary. in the meantime, check out http://www.lehmansaab.com/
