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 -

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.

First production Volvo S60 Polestar shown off

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

With the Volvo S60 Polestar going on sale in Australia this June, Volvo has finally released images and specs for the production version of the performance sedan. While no official build number has been announced, one image of the car's steering wheel shows a serial number plaque that says "No. 000/100" indicating that production will likely be limited to just 100 units in Australia. The press release states that the Australia run of Polestar-tuned S60s is a "pilot project" and that other potential markets are "under investigation."
Although it looks very similar to the S60 Polestar Concept we first saw at the LA Auto Show last year, the production version of the car sports a few changes. Visually, the front and rear fascias have been slightly modified from the concept car, as have the matte-black wheels. Inside, we see a different steering wheel that adds the aforementioned build sequence plaque but loses the suede leather accents, and there is also a sportier looking shift lever with a chrome handle that features a Polestar logo.
As for performance figures, rather than the 508-horsepower of the S60 Polestar Concept, the production version will be limited to 350 hp and more than 368 pound-feet of torque, which is still an improvement of about 25 hp and at least 14 lb-ft over a 2013 S60 R-Design. Polestar also tuned the six-speed automatic transmission and Haldex all-wheel-drive system for optimal performance leading to a top speed of 155 miles per hour and a 0-62 mph time of 4.9 seconds. The production S60 Polestar will still get suspension, brake and aerodynamic upgrades.

Big rig gets blown over on Wyoming freeway, flattens police cruiser

Sun, Feb 12 2017

A big rig navigating a stretch of windy Wyoming highway last week was blown over by high winds and landed on a Wyoming Highway Patrol cruiser. According to CBS News, three Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers responded to an accident along Interstate 80 near Elk Mountain on February 7. While the troopers were out of their cars assisting the crash victims, a white Volvo semi-truck lumbered up I-80 toward them. Wind gusts in that part of Wyoming were clocked in at up to 90 miles per hour on Tuesday, and one of them caught the semi as it neared the parked cruisers. Video from one of the cruiser's onboard cameras showed the big rig drift to the right as a big gust hit the trailer. Slowly, the whole rig tipped over and flattened one of the parked cruisers. The truck then slid a few feet on its side and came to a stop just aft of the cruiser. None of the troopers were injured in the incident, and two people in the truck came out of it unhurt as well. Patrol Lieutenant David Wagener told KGWN that that stretch of I-80 was closed on Tuesday to lightweight, high-profile vehicles. The truck driver was cited for the incident. High winds are no joke, and vehicles getting blown around or even clean off the road is a pretty common phenomenon. Way back in 2011, a truck got blown over in Utah. Then there was a train that got blown off a bridge in Louisiana in 2015.

Future Polestar Volvo models could feature diesel, EV tech

Tue, 20 May 2014

Volvo's Polestar sub-brand has made the transition nicely from being the company's racing arm to building some seriously cool, Swedish cars. Now that it has a few models under its belt, it plans to grow larger and greener. The next-generation of Polestar-tuned vehicles are rumored to include high-performance hybrid and diesel powertrains.
While it still doesn't have the brand recognition of BMW M or Mercedes-Benz AMG, Polestar is on the growth path. It's representatives recently told Autoblog that its latest, tuned S60 and V60 models "mark the start of an extended production car model range." In addition to that expansion, Volvo has given its performance division a greater responsibility for engineering future vehicles, according to Autocar. It even helped develop the new Drive-E engine, which we quite liked when we took it for a spin in an S60.
Polestar's boss hinted at a hybrid model to Autocar, a move that seems obvious once you think about it. The Drive-E engine was designed from the beginning to accept hybrid layouts. The division's plan is to put and electric motor on the rear axle to both increase torque off the line and provide all-wheel drive. As Drive-E also offers diesel variants, that is in the cards as well for the future, but the company didn't go into much detail. Polestar appears to be the upcoming shooting star of the performance car world.
