90,500 Miles

 Titanium Grey Metallic with Beige Leather Seats

I have owned this car since May of 2007.  The original owner had knee surgery and couldn’t drive a stick any longer so it ended up back at Boston Volvo from where I purchased it.  I have all records and all receipts including synthetic oil changes every 5K.  Kids driving and off to college is making us change up our car mix, so I am reluctantly putting this up for sale.

This car is loaded!  In addition to all of the usual R features, this has:

-        A complete extra set of R 17 Pegs with General Altimax Arctic’s snows (for you Swede-0-philes, General bought from Gislaved and these in fact are a copy of the discontinued Gislaved Nordfrost 3.

-        Summer shoes are Kumho Ecsta AST’s  on R 18 Pegs   (This originally came with low profiles but the roads around here are just not conducive to that kind of tire, so I went a bit higher on the sidewalls. Both set rub slightly when pulling a full U turn as a result – pretty common for R’s)

-        A factory upgraded sound system with a  massive sub-woofer where the 3^rd row seat would go, 10 CD changer in back and ipod adapter up front

-        Integrated Bluetooth for phone pairing

-         Pop up navigation in dash and slightly tinted windows. 

-        Volvo cross bar roof racks – never used.

-        This car is straight stock and has had no modifications. 

In the interest of full disclosure here are a few small items that keep me from saying that this is in “perfect” condition:

-        This car has never been in an accident or collision.  I did, however, run over a truck tire retread that was in the highway and it whacked right under the front bumper.  The mounts to the radiator, intercooler and fan assembly were all damaged.  Insurance picked all of this up so all of those parts are new (about 14 months ago).  There was no other damage and no issues since.

-        I had replaced the upper engine mount last summer.  As the old one was loose, the engine was moving more than it should have and the mounting bracket to the air intake pipe that runs over the top of the engine had cracked. The (plastic) pipe has a fiberglass patch on the bracket and functions perfectly fine. You could order a new one for around $280, but there’s nothing wrong with it as it.

-        The fuel door does not immediately lock/latch when you shut it.  Once you start the car after filling, the electric lock engages and its fine from there on.  I have a matching (painted) door that will go with the car.  It hasn’t bothered me that much so I have not replaced it.

-        All 8 Pegs (rims) have some curb rash.  (wife!).  You can see these in the pictures. The Kumho’s have a few surface tears to accompany the curb rash, but nothing major.

-        Leather could use a really good cleaning and reconditioning – no rips or tears, but this has been a kid and dog hauler.

-        There is one small (quarter size) rough patch of paint (I’ve taken a picture of it) on the front end.  No rust and I think it must have been a stone ding.  It’s covered with touch up paint.  Otherwise the body and paint is in very good shape. 

-        Oh, and as I was washing the car this weekend to take some pictures, my water-droplet obsessed border collie left bite marks on the left rear mud flap.  I have already ordered a set from IPD.  If I have time I’ll replace the left one – in any case it will come with new rear mud flaps.

Other good things:

-        Weather Tech rubber mats were used year round from Day 1, so the carpets are all in really good shape.  The rear cargo area has always had both a vinyl liner and the plastic tray, so I don’t think that carpet has ever even seen daylight.

-        Brakes were done about a year ago – maybe 10K, so plenty left on them

-        As I mentioned above, I have all receipts for oil changes and all other maintenance. 

-        I sprung for a lifetime air filter

-        New set of plugs last fall

-        Just replaced tail gate struts

-     New battery in March
