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:"Small crack in tail light, small crack in rear bumper, minor scuffs from parking lots, minor dings on wheels but hard to see"
Buying a used car, especially from a distance, can be a nerve wracking experience. This car should take the worry out of your search. I have a 100% positive buyer/seller rating with Ebay on over 100 transactions and that includes one previous vehicle sold. I always try to be as precise as I can in describing the item for sale, include lots of photos, and, as of the time of this posting hope to have the fairest price on the block. This car has a story.
I am the original owner and only drive 5000 miles a year, almost all of it around town. This vehicle has never been farther than 400 miles from home and then only twice. I have a full history of maintenance all done at my local Volvo dealer and all done according to schedule. I would describe the car as being in good to excellent condition. The only thing that is keeping it from being in mint condition is a four inch slightly larger than hairline crack on the rear bumper and a small crack in the rear taillight both happening in a parking lot when I was not in the car. The car has never been in an accident. The interior is in excellent condition although the drivers seat reflects the use it has gotten. There are no rips, tears, or stains on the well maintained leather seats. After recently detailing it for purposes of this sale, it looks great. To my knowledge there is nothing wrong with any part, mechanical or otherwise, with the car. After I got the car detailed, which I do once a year, I honestly felt like I was driving a new car for a few moments.
Although the car has 30,000 miles on it, a low number for a car six years old, a brand new Volvo engine was installed by Volvo one year ago. The engine still has a one-year warranty left on it and should be honored at any Volvo dealership. Why a new engine? I expected to put at least a 100,000 miles on this engine as did my wife on her 03 XC70 but last year on my way to the airport the car computer told me to stop the car and check the engine because it was overheating. I did exactly that and, not being a mechanic, I didn't know what else to do other than check the coolant as I was on the Interstate halfway between Santa Fe and Albuquerque and 90 minutes away from boarding a plane to Canada. I got back in the car and drove it cautiously to see if the heat gauge needle would stay in the middle where it belonged. It did and I continued to drive it with the intention of stopping if I received another notice or, more importantly, saw the needle jump indicating an overheated engine. Neither happened. The needle stayed in the center the entire way to Albuquerque but twelve miles short of my destination the engine died from burning up. Foolish? Perhaps. Nevertheless I had to install a brand new engine. I was in Canada and at the mercy of my dealer where the car was towed. I didn't realize I could get a used engine, nor did I count on my Volvo dealer burning me on the cost of a new engine and the labor. The final bill came to about $14,000 due to a few other items that had failed like the engine harness ($1,400). What happened? The engine thermostat didn't tell the blades to open which controlled the air cooling of the engine. Although I had an extended warranty on the car there was an exclusion for thermostats. I pleaded with my dealer and corporate Volvo for some assistance as our extended family has purchased ten Volvos in the past decade. A 25,000 mile Volvo engine just shouldn't fail. Their engines are notorious for going way over 100,000 miles. So my misfortune is your good fortune. And since I never want to have to deal with my Volvo dealer again, I am selling the car. The V50 was discontinued after the 2011 model but the 2006 is essentially the same car and the first to have the revolutionary control panel design. I love this size of this car and now it's not available anymore. If you don't want to drive a car the size of the XC 70 or lumber around in an SUV but want the utility of a Volvo wagon this is now your only option. And you still have most of the great utility of an XC 70. Finding one with 3,500 miles on the engine is probably next to impossible. Factor in the double warranty, Volvo's unconditional warranty on the engine, and the 31 month or 30,000 mile extended warranty on the rest of the car including the engine provided by National Vehicle Protection (Contract #CCQ1010650) and you have an unusual opportunity.
What else can I tell you about this car. Do you want something with speed, power, and handling? This car is scary fast. Five cylinders help but it's the turbo that does it. You can pass a car on the highway in a blink of the eye which is comforting (no, don't blink) and it handles closer to a sports car than a station wagon, yet has all the utility of an AWD wagon with a special wide traction button. You can easily shuttle three 12 years olds and all their gear back and forth to school which is what I do all the time. Make no mistake. This is a luxury automobile approaching the appeal of a BMW or Mercedes. And you'll realize that the first time you drive it. It will feel like a new car to you minus that new car smell. If you haven't already test driven one do your best to find a good used one in your area (even though that may mean I lose the sale). Of course, if you're looking at my car you probably already know you want one.
I'm sure there's at least a few things I'm forgetting about in terms of describing this car so please feel free to ask questions. I didn't photograph every tiny ding and blemish but as you can see from the photos nothing much is visible from 5-10 feet. Please also note that some of the photos were taken before the car was detailed, I'm happy to furnish paperwork if asked such as receipts for service, the new engine, and the extended warranty policy.
How did I arrive at my asking price? It's not easy pricing a six-year old car (the styling stayed basically the same from 05 to 2011) with a new engine but I first got the Kelly Blue Book value for a 2006 with 3,500 miles inbetween excellent condition and good condition to arrive at a base price of $13,954. I then added value for the new engine which cost me $14,000 because of the extras like a new engine harness and several other items. I obviously can't pass anywhere near that amount onto the buyer but thought a third of that cost would be fair at $4,600. But because that still sounded too high I just decided on $2,500 for the new engine plus $500 for the full, unconditional warranty. I then added $1,100 for the extended warranty which is half over towards 60,000 miles and 58% over ending May 27th, 2006. Next, I added $200 for the almost new tires. Finally I subtracted $800 for the minor body damage (see photos) which gave me an asking price of $17,454. To tell the truth I don't know what a new engine is worth to a buyer. I'm thinking quite a bit because it's highly improbably you could find a used V50 with a new engine. Rarity has it's value but the market will dictate what it's worth which is why I have chosen the Auction option along with a Buy It Now price. When I compare my car to the other V50s currently listed I believe I have the best price. I'll find out soon enough. If you lived in New Mexico pick up would be easy but I sold my Volkswagon eight years ago to a man from Oregon who hopped on a plane and drove it home. The car is located in Santa Fe, one of the most unusual cities and popular tourist destinations in America. There's no place like it and I'm happy to arrange the logistics of a short tourist visit for you if you so choose. It ain't Sweden but it's not Dubuque either (no offense Dubuque, I have a good friend there and you have a nice town. Just not a whole lot to do there).
For the record I purchased the car from Albuquerque Lincoln/Volvo for $36,799 on May 24, 2006. You can see photos of the Extended Warranty Policy (fully transferrable), the receipt for the new engine, and the original car sticker description although some of it may be hard to read. I'm happy to scan and email anything you want.
I think I've said enough. Good luck on a great vehicle.

Volvo confirms V60 Sportswagon engine lineup for US
Fri, 13 Sep 2013
In addition to revamping its entire 2014 lineup, Volvo has already promised us that we'll be getting the V60 wagon early next year, but now the Swedish automaker has confirmed that sexy wagon will go on sale in January. If that's not good enough for you diehard station wagon models, there's even better news: An available R-Design model will be the "fastest and most powerful wagon in Volvo history."
The V60 R-Design will have a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine under the hood producing 325 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Other engines available in the wagon will include the company's well-regarded turbo inline-five along with a new turbo inline-four wearing the Drive-E name. Volvo says Drive-E can "offer the opportunity" to add electrification, but there's no word as to whether or not the US will receive a V60 plug-in model. Also not yet released are fuel economy, vehicle specs and pricing. More information about the V60 and its powertrains are available in the official press release posted below.
Now at Costco: Bales of toilet paper and a Volvo or Pacifica to haul them
Tue, Aug 29 2017Costco, the beacon of bulk buying, where you can buy everything from gasoline to your own casket at deep discount, is offering some Costco-only incentives through its Auto Program in partnership with specific car brands: for now, Volvo and Chrysler, with other brands planned for later. First, Volvo: Now through Oct. 2, you can get both special incentives AND employee pricing (aka "A-Plan" pricing) AND whatever rebates and incentives Volvo might already have going on. The Costco incentives are: $3,000 on 2017 and 2018 S90 sedans. $750 on 2017 and 2018 S60 sedans. $750 on 2017 and 2018 V60 and V90 Cross Country wagons. $750 on 2017 and 2018 XC90 SUVs. $750 on the outgoing 2017 XC60 crossovers. Automaker incentives usually vary by region, but in the Detroit area, at least, Volvo currently has a $2,500 incentive on the 2018 XC90 and $3,500 on the 2017 model. Those end Aug. 31 but could be renewed in September, and others could be added then as well. Volvo is also offering special interest rates on financing some of the other models. And when all is said and done, if you fill out a Costco customer survey you'll get a $200 cash card. The Chrysler Pacifica deal, also through Oct. 2, is even simpler: Go to the Costco site, print out a certificate worth $1,000, and take it to a Chrysler dealership — any dealership, not just those that usually work with Costco, which is a first. The incentive covers both 2017 and 2018 models. And like the Volvo promotion, these Costco incentives can be combined with whatever Chrysler's doing — and it currently has a myriad of incentives on 2017 Pacificas, in various combinations that differ depending on whether you're leasing or buying. If you register at the Costco Auto Program website, you'll be put in touch with a dealer who can review the bottom line after all the discounts are factored in. Participating dealerships have offered special pricing to Costco members for years, up to the price automaker employees get. Costco's program doesn't typically work the way these Volvo and Chrysler programs do, though a similar joint promotion with Volvo back in 2013 sold 7,500 cars. If you haven't used the Costco Auto Program, but you don't like haggling at a dealership, you might give it a try. The beauty of it is that a dealer is obligated to offer you a set price and is also obligated to treat you by certain rules, such as not trying to upsell you. Last year, 490,000 vehicles were sold to Costco members through the program.
