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:"AS IS! Engine failure. Dead battery. In December, the mileage was approximately 180,000. Uncertain exactly how much since the vehicle was not driven since January. Exterior in decent shape. It could use a good car wash. Interior is in very good shape considering the age and milage. Mechanically all else was fine including the transmission which never gave any issues for me."

My Volvo XC70 had an engine heart attack and slipped into a coma over the winter.  A self anointed M.D. (A Motor Doctor hanging out at in one of the long lines at Auto Zone) abandoned her on the operating table while performing a routine timing belt replacement.  After a couple of days of neglecting curiosity, I decided to turn over the engine myself with wishful thinking.  It was a rough start.  I heard a rapid series of  clicks and knocks so, I immediately turned her off.  Too late!  The damage was done.  I soon found another willing M.D. (at Auto Zone of course) and he determined that her valve stems were bent. (Almost sounds like a feminine issue). As she lay there motionless in my make shift ICU section of my drive way, the "expert" gave me a quote.  Not feasible for me.  As her next of kin, I decided right then and there to put her down.  But not without enlisting your aid!


I need her moved ASAP either by a gurney or a tow of your choice.  From there, feel free to check her into an auto clinic of your choice and revive her as a project.  If not, put her on a hydraulic slab at the auto morgue and dissect her as a mechanical organ donor.  If neither suits your needs, by all means, please find her a decent plot and send her off with a 21 gun salute.
Uncle Sam might appreciate and reward your efforts for it!

Interior:
The leather seats are slightly worn as expected over time.  However, there are no loose seams and/or tears in the firm yet supple leather.   All cabin buttons, levers, locks and lights were in working order before tragedy befell her.

Exterior:
She can use a good wash!

Performance:
Keep in mind that the battery is dead and I can only provide an approximation on the mileage.  The odometer might have + or - 3000 on the 185,000 miles listed.
Front and Rear brakes done a year ago.  The ignition always fired up quickly.  The car drove straight.  AC was cold.  Heat worked.  Wipers worked.  No check engine lights or related problems to report in the past. The suspension was a glide, the handling was tight, the shifting was flawless.

Me:
I am not a dealer.  I am a private seller with 100% FB.  I attempt to list as accurately as possible.  However, I am human and am therefore prone to unintentional oversight and errors.  Furthermore, I do not claim nor do I imply to know the full history of the vehicle as I have only owned it for approximately 4 years.  Never had any issues until her mechanical health was compromised by an unlicensed M.D. I found standing bored in a long, long line at Auto Zone.

You:
Before you take my word(s) or engage in the gears of commerce, you have the right to inspect the vehicle before the end of the auction.

The XC70:
Is selling AS IS in all its glory.

Volvo Concept XC Coupe does the full monte ahead of Detroit debut [w/video]

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

When the doors open at the Cobo Center next week for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, Volvo will lift the veil on its new Concept XC Coupe. But you don't have to even wait that long. A set of images leaked out yesterday to accompany a teaser video released by Volvo, but now the Swedish automaker has revealed the full thing.
The second of three new concept cars aiming to show the way forward for the brand, the Concept XC Coupe follows the Concept Coupe revealed last September. Based on Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture, the Concept XC Coupe is expected to preview the next-generation XC90 crossover, but with two fewer doors and a four-seat cabin.
With orange details, matte rubber moldings and underbody skid plates, the design is said to have been inspired by outdoor equipment manufacturer POC - naturally also based in Sweden - whose products are favored by extreme athletes around the world. It rides on 21-inch wheels and incorporates T-shaped DRL headlights, with distinctive tail-lights earmarked to make their way onto the next generation of production Volvos.

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.

Volvo V60 Polestar speeds into view

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Send us photos of a new wagon out testing, and you've got our attention. Send us photos of a fast wagon lapping the Nürburgring and, well, we're just as giddy as can be. Our spy shooters just blessed our inbox with some fresh shots of Volvo's new V60 wagon out testing in Polestar guise, sporting the same Rebel Blue paint job as the thunder-from-Down-Under limited-edition S60 Polestar, as well as an aggressive front fascia, huge wheels, Brembo brakes, a rear diffuser panel and a roof spoiler. Hello there, hot stuff.
Like its sedan counterpart, the V60 Polestar is expected to use a boosted version of Volvo's 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, pumping out something like 350 horsepower. To keep everything in check, that force will almost certainly be sent to the ground via all-wheel drive.
It's unclear if Volvo will sell the V60 Polestar as a limited-edition affair for our friends in Australia, or if this longroof hot-hauler will be offered in other markets this time. After all, Volvo is bringing the V60 over to American soil early next year, so consider our fingers - and toes - crossed.
