Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Runs and drives strong, no warning lights. However - car has some minor issues. First - Air Conditioning not working. I refilled it and it ran for a few weeks, but there must be a leak somewhere. Secondly, car has a small leak in the cooling system - you need to top off the system when the light comes on; I've been using distilled water. I have been told that this is most likely the heater core, but I'm done fixing this car. The leather on the drivers seat bottom is shot, you could re-skin it or replace it entirely if it bothers you. The power adjustment on the drivers seat is finicky, you have to play with it to get it to work. There a scuff on the rear fender, and other very minor paint imperfections - but this is a VERY clean car for 175K miles and 12 years old."
Up for NO RESERVE auction is my previous daily driver - a 2001 Volvo C70 in Nautic Blue pearl over tan leather. I bought this car (used in North Carolina) several years ago. This generation of C70 was produced from 1998 (introduced via the media in the movie "The Saint" - where a Saffron Orange pearl coupe was driven by Val Kilmer) until 2004 (the next generation started in 2006). Volvo sold 15 convertibles for every one coupe and 10 automatics (or "auto-tragics") for every one stick shift.
As such, this is a very rare car - only 144 stick shift High Pressure Turbo (238 HP) coupes produces in the whole world in all five years of production - you will NEVER park "next to yourself". It was a $40K European coupe when new, under seven second 0-60, 155 MPH published top speed. Not as strong as the BMW 335i I just bought to replace it, but certainly has the power to get out of it's own way once the turbo is spooled up - much stronger than several V-6's that I've driven (Accord coupe, Camry Solara, etc). The seats are comfortable and the Bose Dynaudio three CD changer with center speaker in the dash is the best sounding stock system in any car I've ever owned.
I'm pretty sure the car spent it's whole life in the southeast. All the major services due while I owned it were done regularly at Reputable Volvo in North Charleston. For example - the car had the timing belt, water pump and seals done about 35K miles ago. He also upgraded the bad electronic throttle module with a "Zeemodex unit". I've put Penzoil Platinum synthetic oil in it regularly (well - I've made my fiancee do it ;-)), and there is an extra filter that comes with the car. The "white block" engine has a paper insert type filter (the housing in permanent) and places like Autozone don't always have them in stock. Four newish (< 10K mile) matching name brand tires; brakes have plenty of life left. There are no warning lights on - no check engine lights at all.
The car is in very good shape visually. There is a good scuff on the rear bumper (please see picture) but because it's black plastic underneath dark blue metallic and it's very low on the bumper you'd have to look to see it. There is some sun fading on the C-pillar (drivers side). There are a couple parking lot dings if you look closely. Most of them are in odd places though - not where you'd expect a shopping cart to run into it. I had a small accident this past year (no structural damage at all) and I paid to have the front bumper replaced with a genuine Volvo part - so all of the rock chips are fixed making the car look like it has a lot less than 175K miles.
Now, the bad news : The air conditioning on the car does NOT blow cold air. I had them fill it up with Freon and it worked for a while, but it started blowing warm air again in a few weeks. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, there is some sort of small leak in the cooling system. Every so often the "low coolant" light comes on, so I put distilled water in it. I was told that this is probably the heater core, but I ran out of patience fixing these minor annoyances. The driver side seat has two issues - first, the leather is shot on the bottom piece. Secondly, the button to move the seat back and forth is finicky - you have to play with it a little bit to get the seat to move forward or backward sometimes. Lastly, it has a weird key issue where it starts and dies and then you have to put the key back in, jiggle it, and then restart it. Again - I've got a bunch of advice from people that this is an easy fix, something about the connection between the solenoid and the immobilizer on the security system - but I'm not paying to have it fixed.
If you like to work on / fix up Swedish cars - here is an opportunity to bid on a cheap car that could be really nice, rare, and fast if everything is fixed. Or, you could drive it the way it is and limp it along for a while. I'm doing this they way eBay is supposed to be : no reserve, starting bid one dollar. This isn't a game, you aren't bidding to look at the car - you are bidding to buy the car. Feel free to come have a look at it, take it for a spin, or even take it to your mechanic BEFORE bidding. Text me (Amanda) at 843-870-3397.
To make this as easy as possible - I am willing to drive the car to you up to 150 miles in any direction from Charleston, SC once cash is exchanged. Any additional shipping is entirely the responsibility of the buyer.

This car is a STICK SHIFT / manual transmission. I have no idea why it is showing up as an automatic, but this is incorrect.

Volvo details upcoming XC90's new scalable platform
Tue, 12 Aug 2014In two weeks' time, we'll be boarding a flight for Stockholm for the live reveal of the new Volvo XC90. But before we do, Volvo has revealed another round of salient details regarding not only its new crossover, but a whole range of new vehicles to share its architecture.
That platform is called Scalable Product Architecture, and it follows the latest industry trend towards modular platforms. The product of four years' development, the new platform uses high-strength boron steel to optimize weight and rigidity. The scalable architecture, set to underpin the next-generation S60, V60, XC60, S80 and anything larger, offers designers more flexibility in terms of proportions. It can be adapted to a wide range of vehicles of different shapes and sizes, designed from the get-go to incorporate a range of powertrains (including the XC90's new twin-charged hybrid system) and all the latest safety technologies you'd expect from a Volvo.
The XC90, Volvo has revealed, will also offer increased interior flexibility, with movable second and third rows to optimize cargo space and legroom as needed. That third row is designed to accommodate children (or small adults) up to five-foot-seven. Meanwhile the image inset above gives us our first glimpse at the new XC90's styling, with T-shaped running lights inspired by Thor's hammer.

Volvo already planning road-going V8 Supercar?
Sat, 15 Mar 2014After decades of cat-and-mouse battle waged between Holden and Ford, Australia's V8 Supercars series has expanded considerably. Mercedes and Nissan both joined the grid last season, and Volvo has followed suit this year. So when 2014 championship kicked off earlier this month in Adelaide, everyone was watching to see who would come out on top.
The answer is Holden, which took first place in all three of the weekend's races. In fact the General Motors division locked out the podium in the first and third races and took first and third places in the second race, letting just one other manufacturer onto the podium the entire weekend - and that was Volvo. The Polestar S60 scored second place on its first race weekend, beating all the Nissan Altimas, the Mercedes E63 AMGs, the Ford Falcons and most of the Holden Commodores.
Now that's hardly winning the championship, but it's a very solid debut. And that point was not lost on the people back at headquarters in Sweden, who are already thinking about making a roadgoing version of the race-spec V8 Supercar.
