Used Volvo S80 Cars and Second Hand S80's for sale

The Volvo S80 is a midrange, midsized executive saloon car launched by Swedish manufacturers Volvo in 1998. It received outstanding reviews at the time of its launch and was one of the new generation of Volvos to radically change its boxy looks for a more streamlined, aerodynamic design. The safety features, comfort factor, and all round drivability of Volvo S80s were widely praised by the press and customers who loved the meticulous engineering and high design standards.

By 2006, Volvo S80 sales had topped 368,000. The Volvo S80 had been through several waves of improvement, with an entry level S model, Executive flagship model and 2.4-litre five-cylinder engine D5 Diesel model added to the stable. The second generation Volvo S80 was rolled out at the Geneva Motor Show in 2006 and included revolutionary new design aspects such as integrated GSM phone system for hands free safety and entertainment, an element now copied by many other car manufacturers. The market for nearly new Volvo S80 cars is excellent for sellers, as they tend to hold most of their value.

Additional security features, adaptive cruise control and Collision Warning and Brake Support (CWBS), combined with a luxury interior have won the Volvo S80 many accolades. The Volvo S80 rates highly also for endurance levels and engine technology and is considered an excellent feat of engineering. Billed as 'The World's Safest Car', the Volvo S80 has consistently won prestigious safety awards, year on year. The Volvo S80 received the IIHS Top Safety Pick award for overall safety innovation and improvements in 2007 and 2008, and worldwide sales reflect the positive reviews and feedback as Volvo S80s continue to be top sellers.
