The Miles also would have cost close to $20,000, and even then it was pretty minimal &#8211; vinyl seats, manual crank windows and no air-conditioning. So when a converted 1995 Volvo 850 came up for sale nearby for $14,000 we jumped on it!</p> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:04:00 -0700 urn:uuid:8a5ee197-8e57-4e78-b58b-713dccfdc661 Max Dunn http://blog.maxdunn.com/articles/2008/06/04/evolvo-my-electric-car Electric Vehicles <p>Nice!
