I have decided to sell my extremely nice, accident free 2004 Volvo V70R. The best part about this car is that I have already done all the big ticket maintenance items as you will see below. If you are looking at this ad, you know this is the rare 300hp Volvo with 4 piston Brembo brakes front/rear, incredibly comfortable sport seats and blue stitching throughout. I have owned it for a little over two years. It was my daily driver but I just purchased a 2003 BMW M5 to replace it.

I have kept the car in very nice shape. Paint is 9/10 and interior is 8.5/10. There are some minor dings and scratches here and there from age but it still has it's full gloss finish and all the paint is all original and very nice. 1 small ding above the gas door, 4 small marks in the rear bumper (pictured) and 2 small dings in the driver rear door. The main wear on the interior is the driver side bolster shown in the photos. The rear seat has some indentations and slight discoloring where there has been a carseat for my son but I think the leather will come back after it's been removed for a while.

It runs and drives wonderfully. The local Volvo dealer described it as the nicest and tightest VR they have worked on. I have done a whole lot of maintenance, most of which was done at Paul's Volvo in Richmond, VA and Mooer's Volvo in Midlothian, VA. I can provide receipts for the large ticket items. I have done regular oil changes with Mobil 1 syntec and I keep my cars very nice.

The car does have a few tasteful modifications. No engine or spring/shock suspension mods though.

The stereo has been upgraded and is absolutely spectacular. It is very clean and is hands down the best system I have heard. The speakers are all original as the VR came with 8" woofers in the front doors. I only added a Pioneer 7" touchscreen head unit with bluetooth, an Alpine digital mono amp with the single 12" JL Audio L7. A custom enclosure for the sub was made to fit the car and can easily be removed. The head unit panel was made to look OEM as well.

I added an IPD grill which I think cleans up the look. I still have the original grill which will come with the car. I also modified the headlights as I thought the output was terrible for HID. I custom fit Infinity projectors with Apollo shrouds. Not only did it improve the look of the car, but it greatly improved the output as well.

The only suspension alteration I made was to add a VIVA chassis brace. Anyone who has driven these cars will tell you of the annoying side hop over bumps on the highway. This drasically reduced that issue and can easily be removed if desired.

I also added new black floormats which keep it cleaner and in my opinion look better than the tan ones that were in there.

 Please feel free to contact me for any questions or additional images in high res. I have shipped several cars and would be happy to assist in finding a reasonably priced transport company but the buyer is responsible for the costs. I welcome anyone who wants to come inspect and/or drive the car as well.

Since I have owned the car, I have replaced the following:

Timing belt @ 90k

Trans flush and fluid change @ 90k

front brake pads and rotors @ 100k

all 4 sway bar end links @ 85k

Alternator @ 115k

Inner/outer tie rods with boots and alignment @ 115k

All 4 tires @ 110k

Steering line @115k

ABS computer @ around 110k

Front 4c shocks @ 85k

Upper engine mount bushing @95k

Trans mount bushing @ 95k


There are a few small issues that do need attention and are as follows.

Chip in the windshield (pictured)

The front passenger side strut accelerometer broke and therefore the whole shock needs to be replaced. It rides and drives fine but cannot go into sport mode. Mooer's Volvo confirmed this is the issue and therefore, a check suspension error will come on.

 Rear brakes only have about 3mm's left on the pads

Center console has the typical 04 problem with the finish showing age (pictured)

I will replace the shock and windshield at the buyer's expense if desired.


Here are some photos all of which were taken today on July 20th, 2014 @ 3pm.

2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E [w/video]

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The Swedes Bend Sixes And Fives Into Fours
With government agency pressures mounting, the auto industry's latest engine and powertrain trends invariably include the cobbling of heretofore eight-cylinder models into charged (either turbo- or super-) six-cylinder models, six-cylinders into charged four-cylinders and so on. And then there's the mating of these downsized engines to fuel-saving automatic transmissions with ratio counts previously reserved for bicycles and semi trucks. Volvo can at last follow suit with the best of Germany and Japan thanks in great part to an $11-billion multi-year investment by its Chinese owners, Geely.
After we survived the recent Frankfurt Motor Show marathon of news and reveals (chief among said bits being the stunning Volvo Concept Coupe), we were escorted by the Swedish automaker to the far less frenetic air of southern France to explore the most significant step yet in the company's new life. Volvo's entire movement of new tech is referred to as Drive-E, and it includes these all-new four-cylinder engines we just tested, a new modular architecture called Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) that will first be found under the next-generation XC90, along with a host of other onboard advancements. Think of it as a Scandinavia's version of Mazda Skyactiv, a total-systems approach to developing more efficient yet more sporting new models.

Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings.
