Vehicle Profile: The 2013 Volvo XC90

Image
The Volvo XC90 has been a hit and a volume seller for Volvo since its debut in 2003....and for anyone that has ever owned an XC90 its easy to understand why...the comfort, safety, and versatility make the XC90 the perfect Swedish-Army knife of the automotive world.

Tracing the History of the Volvo Luxury Sedan Part III: The Volvo 960

Image
The Volvo 960, released in 1990 as a 1991 model year vehicle represented the next evolution of Volvo luxury sedans, following the 760. The 960 was distinguished with softer edges, and a more flowing design both on the outside, and the inside. Also distinct was a new 24 valve 6 cylinder engine, producing smooth power and minimal vibration. The 960 continued Volvo's tradition of phenomenal seats and amazing safety. In 1995 the 960 was re-styled and refined even further. In 1997, the 960 became the S90, to distinguish itself with Volvo's new naming nomenclature (S representing sedan, V representing Versatility and C representing coupe). Of course, today's Volvo S80 continues the tradition of Volvo luxury with an emphasis on Safety (its been an IIHS Top Safety Pick for several years running) and value...with Safe and Secure 5 year no-charge maintenance Coverage.

The Volvo C30: Inexpensive to buy AND own.

Image
The sporty and fun (and of course safe) Volvo C30 starts under $25,000...so its easy to get into one. But its also as easy to live with one...in fact, the C30 has been awarded with a Kelly Blue Book Total Cost of Ownership Award. Details here.... The Volvo C30 has been honoured with the 2012 Kelley Blue Book Total Cost of Ownership Award. Presented at the Chicago Auto Show, the C30 claimed the top spot in the Entry-Level Luxury Car segment, a testament to its remarkable value. The all-new 2012 awards honour current model-year vehicles and brands with the lowest projected ownerships costs, based on Kelley Blue Book Total Cost of Ownership data for the initial five-year ownership period. "Car shoppers should take the time to compare vehicles on their consideration lists to fully understand the financial implications involved with cost of ownership," said Juan Flores, director of vehicle valuation for Kelley Blue Book. "While a vehicle might be less expensive up front, the

Another Happy Customer: Volvo Overseas Delivery

Image
Here is the latest Overseas Delivery review from one of our clients.... Every Overseas Delivery (OSD) buyer will have a different story to tell about their trip, but we’d like to tell you about our two weeks staying in 4 types of accommodations other than hotels. With hotels running a little more on the expensive side, and our prior positive experiences meeting wonderful people at B&Bs (owners and guests), it was an easy decision for us. That said, we both had to buy in that we were choosing an “adventure” that might have some surprises, as we set out on the web to analyze and choose from the numerous options. So in this article, rather than tell you how wonderful the sites of Stockholm, Oslo and Goteborg were (they were, of course) we’d like to tell you how we maximized our $2500 Volvo OSD saving with reasonably-priced places to stay. First, we agreed that since we had never been to Scandinavia that there was more than enough to do and see in just Norway and Sweden. From there,

Tracing the History of the Volvo Luxury Sedan Part II: The Volvo 760

Image
This month marks the 30th anniversary of one of Volvo's most important vehicles...the 760. Introduced in 1982, the 760 was originally designed to replace the 200 series Volvo which had been in production since 1975. Strong sales of the 200 allowed it to continue on, with the 760 series being positioned as a premium model. With a long list of standard equipment the 760 continued the tradition started by the 164, which was a reliable and comfortable large sedan with a lot of equipment for a lot less money than a modern German luxury vehicle. The 760 also had an available turbo-charged engine, a rarity in its day. The 760 would eventually be replaced by the 960 in the early 90s. Today's Volvo S80 flagship luxury sedan can be traced to the 760, and it shares the same mission of providing luxury at a value...and of course, above all...safety. You can find your modern Volvo luxury sedan at Lehman Volvo in York http://www.lehmanvolvoyork.com/ or Lehman Volvo in Mechanicsburg http://
