I’m not an expert on the capabilities of late model Volvos, most of my limited experience comes from driving around in some of CFlo’s older rear-drive 240s, but this next one looks good. It comes with a bunch of upgrades from the seller that should take the car from a college professor’s daily to a […]
This next car comes as a tip from Art C who writes: This… is an absolute steal if it’s not a total basket case… should be $15k with those miles in good to above average condition. Yes, indeed this seems to be a very simple asking price for a very complex machine. Find this 2005 […]
I tend to own multiple cars at any given period of time that fill multiple roles in my car need book. One car needs to have classic styling, another car to haul the family around, another car for twisty roads, and yet another car to go snowboarding in the mountains, but what if you wanted […]
What did the Saab Turbo driver say to his passengers? Brace yourself for the turbo kick will make your neck Thor. Okay, that was a bad. But it had to be done because I can’t just post this car with awesome gold Saab soccer ball alloys and not make some joke about the seller’s name […]
Somebody said something about manual transmission wagons…oh yeah, I just featured a Honda Accord wagon that will get classic wagon lovers in a tizzy. But this next car isn’t a some boring and reliable Accord, this is an exciting Volvo covered in red paint and sporting a high pressure turbo. Find this 1998 Volvo V70 […]

The OG Saab 900 classic platform (1978-1994) was a mild upgrade on the older Saab 99 platform. This means you still get an engine mounted backwards AND at a jaunty 45 degree angle mated to the front tires, but the 900 was faster and more refined than the old 99. From a roll, a vintage […]
This next car comes as a tip from Zach who kicks us off with some puns: The Dune-azon?Let’s be Frank (Herbert) about old Volvos. Old Spice is nice. Zendaya’s whip when not riding sand worms. Shall-I-may I introduce you to the 60s. Find this 1966 Volvo 122S offered for $3,500 in Everett, WA via craigslist. […]
This car comes as a tip from Zach who writes: The RazzleDazzle paint theme is surprisingly not too bad. Will certainly go for more than the 5k start, but would be a fun DT. Yes, the razzle dazzle is something special, but I’d daily drive that! Find this 1967 Volvo Amazon 123GT bidding for $5900 […]
The Volvo 850 was introduced in 1991 as a replacement for the aging 240 Series Volvo that had been the standard for all things boxy but good since 1974.
