Old Volvo, New Volvo

Volvo Car Corporation is a Swedish automobile manufacturer founded in 1927, in Gothenburg, Sweden.   Although Volvo has been acquired and owned by various companies, the brand remains to be recognized as providing safe, dependable cars.  Over the years, Volvo has produced SUVs, station wagons, sedans and compact coupes.   To demonstrate changes in exterior, we thought it would be fun to share a couple of VERY old Volvo photos, and some new 2014 Models.

What’s in the Future for Volvo?  Over the years, Volvo has introduced numerous innovations to the industry, including the first use of laminated glass in 1944, padded dash boards in 1956, the first central high-mounted stoplight in 1986, and the first side impact airbags in 1994.  Volvo’s Safety Vision includes the development of these six Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) technologies:

• Worlds’ first Animal and pedestrian detection, even in darkness
• Road edge and barrier detection with steer assist, even on roads without markings.
• Car-to-car communication, transmit data to other vehicles in given radius
• Autonomous parking, parks itself and finds parking spot
• Adaptive cruise control with steer assist, automatically adjusts vehicle speed to maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead.

It just makes sense to go Volvo CPO

Volvo has added luxury and power to it’s widely known reputation of safety, and thanks their Certified Pre-Owned program, you don’t have to buy new to enjoy the benefits of owning a Volvo.

For the past five years, Volvo has received IntelliChoice.com’s “Best Certified Pre-Owned” award in the luxury category.  What does this mean?  According to an article written by autos.aol.com, IntelliChoice analyzed Volvo’s CPO performance against other top brands in their category such as Acura, Audi, BMW and Lexus.  The CPO comparison was based on several criteria including the warranty and inspection processes.  Again in 2012, Volvo was the top choice in the premium category, receiving an astonishing  100% inspection score and finishing among the top five for its warranty score.

Volvo’s higher standards
It takes a special Volvo to even be eligible for the CPO program.  Every CPO vehicle is reconditioned to meet Volvo’s safety, performance and appearance standards according to Volvo’s comprehensive 130+ point inspection.  Vehicles are examined and road tested at more than 130 different points and components are repaired or replaced as needed.  The exterior and powertrain are checked, and each vehicle is road-tested.  For even greater peace of mind, Volvo On Call offers roadside assistancefor the length of the CPO warranty.

Need even more reasons to buy Volvo CPO?

• 6-year/100,000-mile CPO warranty.   You won’t pay a dime for service visits covered by the CPO warranty.  The Volvo factory-backed CPO warranty fully covers every part not specifically excluded;  including the replacement or repair of thousands of components, systems and operations.
• CARFAX Buyback Guarantee.  Every Volvo CPO vehicle is covered by the CARFAX Buyback Guarantee.  A CARFAX Vehicle History Report is run to ensure that the vehicle has a clean title and that its odometer reading is accurate. If a severe problem is reported by a DMV is later discovered, CARFAX will actually buy back the vehicle from you.
• Protection Plus+  Is an option to add to your Certified Pre-Owned Volvo. The Protection Plus+ Program covers your vehicle’s Factory Scheduled Maintenance (FSM) for 6 years or 100,000 miles, offering you a lower total cost of ownership and peace of mind.
