If you are looking for Volvo dealers in NJ, you are about to make a
wise investment. A used Volvo is a sound economic choice not just because of
the cost of the car itself, but because of its ability to last and not consume
more fuel than you want to pay for.
As you probably know, Volvo is a Swedish brand. As you probably also know, winters are long and brutal in Sweden. In some parts of the country, you get winter conditions that would make a Mainer or Minnesotan blanch. Volvo, therefore, designed their cars to take the worst of what Mother Nature could dish out during Sweden's six-month winter and long, cold nights. Your Volvo dealer in New Jersey knows that the winters can…
The idea for Volvo first came in 1924. Given the climate and weather of Sweden, driving could (and can still be) be very dangerous, at times. That's why the two founders of Volvo decided to come up with the concept for a line of trucks and cars that could withstand the rigors that come with the roads of Sweden. It's been some time, since then, and now you, too, can test the inclement-weather…
It can sometimes be tricky for a non-American car company to gain traction in the United States. What usually helps in that situation, though, is having a flagship vehicle. A wide array of cars from an unfamiliar brand can be overwhelming to any audience, but fewer choices can lead to more easily made decisions. That's why you'll be hard pressed to spend any meaningful amount of time at a Volvo dealer without seeing…
Volvo has always had a well-deserved reputation for safety, quality and reliability. Unfortunately, their cars have also had a reputation (in many people's minds, anyway) for being kind of stodgy and unstylish. A few reviewers even described the Volvos of the 80s and 90s as "boxes on wheels." However, no one would ever call Volvo's new V60 unstylish. The new second-generation model has been at your Volvo dealer since 2011 and is a…
One aspect of cars that often goes unnoticed by the casual fan is the concept car. Typically designed for an auto show in order to showcase a new design or new technology, the concept car is not always put into production. This gives the designers a lot more leeway than they would have with a normal mass-produced car, as the vehicle can exhibit many qualities that would make it either impractical or impossible to produce…
The Swedish company Volvo was originally formed in 1911 as a ball bearing manufacturer. In Latin, Volvo means "I roll," which made this a clever name for that type of manufacturer. The first Volvo car was produced in 1927, and the company has been making its cars ever since. If you visit your New Jersey Volvo dealer, you might be the fourth generation in your family to do so. The brand has a well-deserved reputation…
These days, it seems that everyone drives an automatic transmission car. Volvo dealerships, among dealers of many other cars, often feature a much higher percentage of automatic vehicles, than manual. What is it that caused this trend? Automatic transmission cars are much easier to drive, but manual transmission cars are generally cheaper and get better gas mileage. One might think people would give it more consideration, within a society in the midst of a bad…
