Winter’s Coming -AWD V8 Volvo S80? – By Chuck Banks and Ahmed Gardezi

Yes, it’s a 10 year old Volvo and only the second one I’ve listed loosely as a unicorn.  I get the impression it does nothing great, but most things well.  It’s the only Volvo with a V8 engine that CarMax sells right now, and it’s also all wheel drive.  Not terribly quick with a 0-60 mph just over six seconds, yet it would make a great winter cruiser.  What it’s doing in Las Vegas I have no idea.  Spent it’s early life in the Pacific Northwest where it’s first owner suffered an accident (shame!).   Comes with BLIS (Volvo’s blind spot monitoring), air conditioned and heated seats, and a decent audio system – playing Yo Gotti, BET Hip Hop award nominee and performer of “King Shit” for the CarMax cameraman.  And while we’re on the infotainment pod, what’s with that freakish alien Volvo uses for the climate controls?  Anyway, suspect MaxCare isn’t terribly expensive for an old Volvo and would make this a trouble free driver.  Find it here in Las Vegas – if the link is dead it’s sold, on hold, or being transferred.
