Used Volvo sedans for sale near Blanchard, LA

Test drove car. Agreed on price. Agreed to buy. Then was told car was sold day before.

At the time I bought my 2009 Volvo S60 SE, Ford had recently purchased Volvo and had started integrating some Volvo advanced technological design and safety processes into their Ford vehicles. Regrettably, Ford also was beginning to have a less than positive effect on the Volvo production line. My 2009 Volvo S60 SE was the last of the somewhat “old school” bullet proof 100% genuine Volvo. There is not a single bolt/trim/electronic/etc piece of Ford/Volvo mixed components or software on my car... It is absolutely 100% ALL VOLVO! That’s an outstanding thing. My car is 10+ years old - has 51000 miles on it and a complete Volvo maintenance record plus verifiable oil changes every 3000 miles with Mobil1 full synthetic oil. You might say that I’m babying it and you’d be absolutely correct. I bought this with the intention for it to be the last car I’ll ever buy. The only way that I’ll ever purchase another car is if full electric cars become more reasonably priced and available to me on my limited retirement budget. (Or heaven forbid, the S60 gets involved in a serious accident and is totaled. The car is ultra reliable..gets good gas mileage and maintenance costs are reasonable. What’s not to like?

The team at volvo was amazing! Everyone is so willing to assist you in whatever you need help with whether it’s the receptionist, parts department, service advisors or even salesmen! Everyone made my experience easy or quick

This car's reaching it's tenth birthday in the coming year, and has definitely earned itself a good reputation in reliability, to a point. Had to have the engine rebuilt at around 100k due to a recognized flaw where the seals around the pistons (one, in my case) would shave off the side of the inner piston chamber wall. Volvo was good about it, and rebuilt it for free, but I have heard about this being an issue with a percentage (although a small percentage) of 2015 S60's. If you own a 2015.5 S60, you should be okay (released at the half-year, they changed something in their engine design so this no longer happens). The 2015 model I own is a T-5 Drive-E, but even then the engines feel strong, and the acceleration is amazing given the engine downgrade for better mileage. Pros - Smooth, quiet, fast ride - Platinum package still makes this car shine given how far infotainment systems have come in 9 years - Takes 87 gas - Cold-oriented heating options. I lived in New Hampshire most of my life, and this thing took snow and ice like a champ. Good to know Volvo durability hasn't disappeared. Never failed to start, and the electric defrost option was a Godsend. - iPod/iPhone USB slot. Honestly wish this was in modern cars. You can play music from your iPhone (or iPod if you're a person of culture) as soon as you can hook it up to the charging port. Also charges your phone. Neutrals - Nav system. Pretty basic, but once you get good with the voice commands, is amazing. Other than that you have to put in addresses with one of the DIALS on the dashboard, which is lower than T9 typing. - Auto Climate setting. This is just more goofy than anything. You'll press it thinking it will slowly acclimate based on outside temps and engine warm-up and all sorts of things. No, it hilariously just turns your AC on max. Not even mad, its just super funny to think about. Cons - Start/Stop button. I don't care how much gas I "save", when you turn an engine off and on in any instance, you're wearing down parts faster. - No oil dipstick. Have to rely on electronically checking it, which has shown me close to max for the last few months, which I doubt. - Backseat legroom. It's not horrible if you're used to small sedans, and especially if you're used to super compact cars. - Turn radius. Holy crap do not invest in this car if you like parking somewhere (well) in a single turn. This thing parks like a grizzly bear with a saddle on it---mostly forwards and backs. Maybe I just prioritize good parking too much, but I don't like looking like that one guy in the Walmart parking lot who's content with 45 degree angles. The backup cam makes this not as much of an issue. All in all, a promising Volvo. Lacks the issues of the newer models, while looking pretty modern. If possible, I'd suggest trying to find a trim level higher than the default, but any trim level will be reliable. My biggest takeaway and suggestion for this would be to regularly maintain it. Get your oil changed regularly, keep your engine bay clean, invest in high-quality tires, and don't put 93 ethanol gas in for fun. It should last you as long as it did me.
