We are pleased to present this very nice 1999 Volvo V70 XC AWD. There are several things that make this car quite special, and I'll try to make sure that I list all of them for those that are not quite as familiar with these Volvos. These 98-00 V70s are developing quite a following among our customers, and we are constantly having people asking us to find nice examples of them (because of our reputation as a seller of volvos of this vintage). We scour the country looking for the finest examples of these cars. We often come across them, but rarely in the fantastic condition of this particular one. These cars were in production since the eary 90s (as the 850), and then from 1998-2000 they were lightly redesigned and made more luxurious and sold as the V70. These final versions of Volvo's first front wheel drive car are perhaps one of the most reliable Volvos ever made! In fact, the engine and transmission configuration in this car will have no problem eating all of the miles you throw at it. We have seen several of these with 300, 400, and even 500k miles! Now, on top of all of the things that make this 1999 V70 XC special, this is also very, very well optioned. It's stuffed with options like the Touring Packge, Leather, Moonroof, Stability and Traction Control, and of course, the very hard to find THIRD ROW SEAT! This is as highly optioned as a V70XC can be in the 1999 model year! Going anywhere in the winter is now something you'll never have to worry about. These V70 XCs feature the very first iteration of Haldex's All Wheel Drive. Hadex is a Swedish based company which does nothing but design and manufacture all wheel drive systems. Their systems have come to be used in makes and models in various car companies, and even in extremely high performance cars such as the new Volvo S60 Polestar. The first generation of this system is regarded as many Volvo enthusiasts as being the best for winter traction. It also has a winter mode for the transmission which starts the car out in second gear to prevent wheel spin. This car is a ONE OWNER vehicle. It has been owned by the same family since it was brand new in 1999. One owner cars are almost always very well cared for because the person who bought it paid well over $30,000 for this car, and they are protecting that investment. The other AWESOME thing about this car is, as I mentioned above is that it has the very rare third row seat. That seat makes this car a 7 Passenger vehicle, and allows you to have the seating capacity of an SUV while still having the handling, performance, and gas mileage of a car.

The interior of this V70 is in very good condition. In fact, overall, this is one of the nicest interiors we've ever seen in one of these cars. The tan leather seats are in nearly perfect condition for the car's age with no tears. They're still quite soft, and feel great. Everything in the interior works including the air conditioning, which is ice cold. The car has the upgraded high-performance alpine/volvo sound system with 10 speakers and a CD/Cassette player. It's easy to use, and sounds excellent. It also has a power moonroof. The previous owner of this car was definitely a non-smoker. These cars don't even come with cigarette lighters, just power outlets. There is a cup holder that accommodates two beverages. This Volvo has dual front airbags, as well as front side airbags. The side airbags are part of a system called SIPS which stands for "Side Impact Protection System." This is a combination of high-strength door beams, specially designed door openings, and side airbags, which keeps the passengers safe in the event of a side impact. The rear seats fold flat (both the second and third row seats), and the passenger front seat also folds down for carrying very long cargo.

The exterior of this V70 is in remarkably good condition for the year and miles, and is Nautic Blue Metallic in color. This is one of the more popular colors for these cars, and the contrast between the dark blue exterior and the tan interior is very striking. The exterior of this car is just gorgeous, and the paint is in wonderful condition. It's obvious that this car was garaged for its life. The car has very nice 15" alloy wheels which are in great condition. The lug bolts are nice and shiny and not rusted at all. This V70 also has the roof bars which allow for heavier loads than the standard bars. They are also exactly of the proper shape and size to accept any THULE attachment (this is because they're made for Volvo by Thule). They are easily removable in less than 5 minutes, and can be stowed in the cargo area.

The tires are all in nice shape with excellent tread life remaining. The brakes are in  good shape and the car stops as it should. The legendary 2.4 Liter low-pressure turbocharged 5 cylinder engine runs flawlessly and is very smooth. The transmission also operates properly. It's very smooth, while still shifting crisply. All of the car's accessories work including the power windows and moonroof. These cars rarely have mechanical problems. We are a Certified Bosch Car Service center, and our cars for sale go through a multi-step certification process whereby cars are tested and inspected for safety and reliability. The car will be inspected one final time prior to the new customer taking delivery, so when purchasing or making your offer, please consider that we will likely need 1-2 days before the car can be delivered or shipped. You're welcome to contact us to arrange to expedite this process.
