2004 Volvo C70 Convertible finished in Silver Metallic paint with a Black top and Silver leather interior. This car is an extremely rare find having only 16k miles on it. The car was purchased in March of 2004 and has had one owner since then. It is optioned with CD changer, heated seats, and wood steering wheel. It has always been garaged, maintained only at the dealer, and lovingly cared for. The owner had become ill and unable to drive a few years into owning the car and this the reason the mileage is low. Additionally, the car was not driven in the winter months. The lack of use has left the car extremely well preserved. It drives like new and looks stunning. This C70 is like getting a new car.

The exterior of the car is in excellent condition. The paint holds a very deep showroom shine with no signs of fade. There is no rust on this car and it has not been involved in any accidents. The car has wear consistent with being driven 16k. It has picked up a couple of scratches, dings, etc., there are two scratches that have been touched up on the right, rear quarter. All glass, plastic, and trim pieces are in perfect shape and have no damage. The roof has a few wrinkles but is in excellent condition. The wheels do have areas of curb rash but are in very good condition aside from that.

The interior of the car is in excellent condition. The leather is in great shape and has no holes or tears in the upholstery. The original color and finish is bright and vibrant as a result of having been garaged. The seats hold their original shape and form. The dash has no cracks. The wood is also like new, having deep and bright color. The car was not smoked in and has no strange odors. The carpets are free from any dirt or notable stains. There only wear to mention on the interior is on the side and bolster of the driver's seat from getting in and out of the car.

Mechanically, the car is in excellent condition. The engine is fast and strong, faster than you would expect. The turbo works flawlessly. The transmission shifts smoothly and as it should. The suspension and steering are as new. The car drives perfectly and is a lot of fun to drive. All interior functions work as they should. Heat is hot and A/C is cold. There are no check engine, ABS, air bag, SRS etc. lights on. I have 2 keys and 1 remote to the car. The owner's manuals are still with the car. The car was exclusively dealer serviced and the service history is also with the car. Almost all of the wear items are original on the car as you would imagine due to the low mileage. The tires are original and have plenty of tread, however, they should be changed due to age. The car will be transferred with the original title.

This C70 is an extremely rare find with only 16k miles on it and being in excellent condition. It is a terrific opportunity to get a car with such little use for a fraction of the original cost. I have tried to describe the car as thoroughly and accurately as possible. If you have any further questions, would like specific photos or would like to see the car, please let me know.

Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines

Sat, 23 Feb 2013

It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.

Volvo Cars August sales down 4.6% year-on-year

Sat, Sep 3 2022

HELSINKI — Sweden's Volvo Cars saw its August sales fall by 4.6% year-on-year to 43,666 vehicles as the global semiconductor shortage and other disruptions continued to hurt deliveries, the Swedish car maker said in a statement. Demand remained good, but the component shortages as well as power cuts and COVID-19 outbreaks in China interrupted output, the company said. Volvo Cars on Thursday said it would temporarily close its plant in the Chinese city of Chengdu due to local coronavirus restrictions and that a second facility had also been affected by recent lockdowns. The company's shares traded down 0.7% at 0737 GMT, lagging a 1% rise in Stockholm's benchmark index.

Cadillac tops Tesla in Consumer Reports semi-automated driving test

Thu, Oct 4 2018

General Motors' Cadillac outscored Tesla in a new ranking of partially automated driving systems tested by Consumer Reports and released on Thursday. The highly influential nonprofit organization, which tests and rates a variety of consumer products from appliances to vehicles, said it compared Cadillac's Super Cruise and Tesla's Autopilot with similar systems from Nissan and Volvo. Nissan's ProPilot Assist was ranked third and Volvo's Pilot Assist fourth. Consumer Reports said it has been testing partially automated driving systems for several years but elected to conduct a formal study intended for publication, because "we are at a tipping point where they are now going mainstream," according to Jake Fisher, director of auto testing. The organization said its tests, conducted on a private track and on public roads in Connecticut, were designed to measure the systems' ability to automatically control steering and speed in certain situations, while helping drivers pay attention and regain manual control of the vehicle when required. CR noted that any of these systems can increase driving risk if used in inappropriate situations, or if drivers become inattentive or over-reliant on them. While they can help relieve driver stress and fatigue, Consumer Reports said, the partially automated systems are "not intended to be self-driving features." The systems typically use cameras, radar and other sensors, as well as mapping data, to monitor location and traffic conditions and help keep a vehicle centered in the lane at a safe distance behind other cars. Each system has limitations. Cadillac's Super Cruise, for instance, only functions on divided highways that have been mapped by GM. In contrast, Tesla's Autopilot can be used even on small, curvy roads with poor lane markings, but "operates erratically in those situations," Consumer Reports said.The organization tested Super Cruise on the Cadillac CT6; Autopilot on the Tesla Model 3, Model X and Model S; ProPilot Assist on the Nissan Leaf and Infiniti QX50; and Pilot Assist on the Volvo XC40 and XC60. Consumer Reports said Cadillac's Super Cruise did "the best job of balancing high-tech capabilities with ensuring the car is operated safely and the driver is paying attention." Tesla's Autopilot was cited for its capability and ease of use, while Nissan's ProPilot Assist did a better job than Autopilot or Volvo's Pilot Assist in keeping drivers engaged.
