Description:
This car is truly a blast to drive! The get up and go this car offers is outstanding - if you haven't yet driven a T5, find one locally (if you're not near mine) and you'll understand why you want to be driving this car. The AWD functionality combined with the high-end Nitto SN2 snow tires give you year round performance. The Volvo safety speaks for itself. The interior is in excellent shape (except for the small exceptions listed) and will be detailed before final sale. The exterior has a few scrapes and dings, as are expected for an 8+ year old car, but nothing excessive. I will also be detailing the exterior before final sale to help reduce the number of surface scratches.

These AWD models are rare and this is only one of a couple now posted on ebay.  Don't miss
it!  Ask your questions sooner rather than later.  With the price set over $1200 below the retail NADA, you can expect this to move quick.

Below is a list of maintenance that I have recently performed myself or had a local, very highly rated, "indy" shop complete. All records will be included with final sale. After completing the front suspension replacement, I purchased the 3 year/36k mile unlimited alignment plan from Tires Plus/Firestone. This will transfer with the vehicle and is not owner based, so you'll get it with roughly 32 months/33k miles left of FREE alignments. So whenever you put new all-season/summer tires on in the spring, you can rest easy that you won't have to spend $80 every time.  When the timing belt/water pump/coolant were done, the shop performed a full pressure test and it passed without any leaks or issues.

Recent maintenance (completed in the last 5k miles) includes:
· OEM timing belt, timing tensioner, and pulleys
· OEM Water pump, seal, and bolts
· Genuine Volvo Coolant flush
· Genuine Volvo Oil Filter housing, gaskets, seals, and hose (Replaced under PCV Oil Trap
Extended Warranty 205)
· Genuine Volvo thermostat kit (thermostat, housing, thermostat cover, o-ring, gasket and three thermostat cover bolts)
· Genuine Volvo front struts, front strut mounts, and front strut bearings
· Genuine Volvo front sway bar endlinks
· Genuine Volvo upper-right (passenger side) motor mount
· Two (2) New accessory belts
· Cabin filter
· Dealer completed oil and filter change

This car has a clean title and is accident free. The asking price may be slighltly higher than some others available, however, keep in mind that over $3k in regularly required parts/labor has just been put into this car to get it in prime selling condition, which most of the others do not have completed and certainly will need.  It is also the AWD, which is the big price differentiator.


Blemishes:
All defects are cosmetic and were from previous owner. 

Interior: Driver door aluminum handle panel has many pin sized dents (hard to capture in included image but looks like it was from the owners ring as it is on the handle for pushing/pulling the door open); A couple very small dings/scrapes on center console aluminum; Each aluminum panel on all 4 doors armrests has some minor scuff from regular use;

Exterior: Driver mirror has 3"x.5" plastic piec of frame broken off; ~1' surface scratch on driver door; Multiple small paint chips on front bumper from general road use; Rear bumper has indent from another car's license plate bolts in a parking lot (They pulled to close); 3 small (~.5", ~1", ~3") width dents on passenger-side rear door panel (unable to capture in images as they are so small); Other general surface scratches from age of car with regular usage.


Inspections:
If you are an out of state buyer, I will work with you and your certified inspection agency to complete their inspection promptly.  Requests from local buyers to have the vehicle inspected at a local independent shop will be considered on a case by case basis.  National agencies such as Carchex are a great option and are affordable while also providing additional details/images of any defects with the car -
https://www.carchex.com/car-inspections.


Payment:
A deposit of $300.00 USD is required within 48 hours of purchase confirmation.  Buyer has 7 days from auction close to complete remaining payment amount via certified Cashier’s Check, money order, or cash (in-person only).


Shipping/Pickup:

I am happy to work with a shipping company of your choice. All shipping related expenses are to be paid for by the buyer. I suggest you research your own shipping methods with a website such as http://www.uship.com/ or follow the ideas ebay motors has provided.

If you are in the Colorado area, I can personally deliver the vehicle to within 60 miles of the Denver metro area at no extra charge, if you desire.  Pickup will be allowed as soon as payment has cleared.

Before any shipping or delivery, full payment must be received by the seller, and cleared, before the vehicle will be released for shipping or delivery.


Notes:
Please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to communicate with all legitimate buyers and answer any questions. If there are any specific pictures/angles you would like to see, please ask and I will do my best to capture it for you.

Please feel free to reach out via ebay and provide a phone number I can reach you at, if you wish to ask any questions or schedule a showing.

The vehicle mileage is current, however, it is still being driven regularly and can be expected to have a few hundred additional miles on it from regular driving.  The vehicle is being sold AS-IS and will come with no specific warranties.  Certain warranties may or may not be included with the recent services completed by McDonald Volvo and Platinum Auto Services in Denver, CO, but no such warranties are provided by the seller.

Heico jacks up Volvo V40 Cross Country to create XC40

Sat, 24 May 2014

Because life isn't fair, we don't get the stylish wagon known as the Volvo V40 in the United States. That means we don't get its soft-roading cousin, the V40 Cross Country. So, naturally, if Volvo tuner Heico Sportiv ever produces this ruggedized, XC-styled V40 Cross Country, it most certainly wouldn't cross the pond, either.
That makes us sad, because despite holding a tiny bit of contempt for small luxury crossovers, this is a very, very cool looking vehicle. It's just a render right now, but Heico Sportiv is looking to offer the kit to V40 Cross Country owners who want a smaller version of the Volvo XC60.
Converting a V40 CC into an XC40 would start with some suspension tweaks. The ride height would be raised by just over an inch, in order to improve the looks of the soft-roader and deliver a more CUV-like ingress and egress. New shocks would also be fitted, as well. Wheel-arch extensions were also added to complete the look.

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.

Top 10 small cars with the longest total driving range

Thu, Mar 19 2015

Editor's Note: Since this article was originally posted in the spring of 2015, much has changed in the automotive landscape, especially among those shopping for small car economy. With thanks to Volkswagen for their blatant cheating – and subsequent cover-up – on diesel emissions, the largest player in the diesel passenger car segment isn't playing – they're paying; billions are going for both car buybacks and federally-imposed penalties. And for a few VW execs there exists the very real possibility of jail. With the absence of a big player and the abrupt entrance – via Chevy's new Bolt – of an affordable EV with 200+ miles of range, we've limited the diesel listings to Jaguar's new XE. And for those wanting an updated look at efficiency and range, Autoblog has it – or the EPA has it. Long before electric vehicles were part of the mainstream conversation, car lovers and skinflints alike would boast about the total range of their vehicles. There's something about getting farther down the road on one tank of gas that inflames the competitive spirit, almost as much as horsepower output or top speed. Of course, the vehicles with the very best range on today's market are almost all big trucks and SUVs; virtually all have the ability to carry massive reserves of fuel. Top up a standard Chevy Suburban and you can expect to travel almost 700 miles (you'll need to stop before the Suburban stops...), while a diesel-fed Jeep Grand Cherokee manages almost as many. But what about vehicles that are smaller? The EPA has, essentially, three classifications for 'small' vehicles: Minicompact, Subcompact and Compact. All three are measured based on interior volume, meaning that some cars with rather large exterior dimensions and engines slot in next to traditional small cars. But even though impressive GT coupes from Porsche, Bentley and Mercedes-Benz may have much larger gas tanks to feed their powerful engines, that capacity is offset by higher rates of consumption... in most cases. We used the EPA's Fuel Economy Guide for model year 2017 cars as a start, calculating the official highway miles per gallon rating with each vehicle's tank capacity. The resulting numbers aren't necessarily real world, but they do offer a spectrum for total theoretical range. The eventual top ten surprised me on a few occasions, and comprised quite a varied list of vehicles. 10.
