How to buy a used Volvo near me?
When Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson founded Volvo Cars company in Goteborg, Sweden, back in 1927, they envisioned the two ultimate things to be quintessential for future Volvo cars: safety of passengers and quality of automobiles. Since then, these two goals were uncompromised streaming, through almost 95 years of Volvo history. The relentless pursuit of these two priorities has earned Volvo a worldwide reputation as the safest and one of the most reliable cars and SUVs.
Volvo cars pioneered many of the now generally accepted safety standards such as laminated windshield, three-point seat belts, child seats, and side airbags.
Since 1999 Volvo Cars was the subsidiary of Ford Automotive Group, and in 2010 it was sold to the Chinese Geely Group. So, believe it or not, the Volvo brand now has become as much Chinese as it has remained Swedish, with almost 30% of cars manufactured and sold in China.
Besides the world famous safety and reliability, Volvo surely might impress you with beautiful Scandinavian design, convenience, and ergonomics. Spotting these cars on the road rarely would leave anyone indifferent. From this point on, it’s totally no surprise if you have decided to buy yourself a Volvo. Now, keep in mind these cars aren’t cheap at all. They’re not Bentley or Rolls Royce of course, but you must be prepared to discover some serious numbers on the price tag.
