 Selling my excellent 2001 Volvo V70 XC. 2.4 liter Turbo engine. Automatic transmission.

I'm the 2nd owner and I originally bought the car from the Manhattan dealer.
It currently has 112,000 miles on it and it drives great and handles better than new. I've made many upgrades to the car and it has the best cargo space out of any wagon on the market -- the rear seats fold totally flat and it has a pop up 3rd row of seating in the back. I just bought a new wagon and need to sell it (though I don't want to), but don't want to pay for the additional insurance as well as deal with NYC parking with 2 cars.
My upgrades and recent new parts include:
- New battery (5yr warranty)
- New timing belt, tensioner and water pump @ 105k miles
- Brand new transmission brain (TCM - transmission control module) 2-weeks ago. This includes all relays along the harness (dealer installed)
- New transmission installed at 90K miles (dealer installed)
- New control arms installed at 90k (when the transmission was done)
- New rear hatch hydraulic arms/supports
- IPD front/rear sport sway bars & 12mm front end links installed at 95k miles (makes a huge difference to the handling - makes it corner much better)
- New front springs installed at 100k
- New IPD heavy duty front strut upper pads installed at 100k (another great suspension upgrade)
- K&N air filter
- New front bumper installed at 95k (there was a crack at the bottom when I bought it and it was faded, so I replaced it)
- Comes with new Pagid brake pads (not installed & much better than stock))

The overall condition of the interior is in great shape. The door panels at the rear have some wear on them. The sunroof tilts up fine, but the frame that secures the interior sliding roof panel is loose and so...the sunroof doesn't open properly (the headliner needs to be disconnected on one side and the frame can be easily fixed). The rear hatch "open" warning light goes one - one of the wires got pinched when installing the new support arms in the rear...but everything locks fine. These are all minor issues.  I have many receipts of parts bought, dealer work as well as independent shop work done to the car since I've owned it.

It has a 4CD changer stereo that sounds fantastic. Besides what I mentioned above, everything works great. The engine is bullet proof and so is the 4 wheel drive -- it'll plow through any snow storm and it has this past (brutal) winter. The paint is in very good shape with a couple minor dings and scratches -- better than appropriate for a car of this age. This wagon has served me incredibly well since I've owned it (I bought it in 2008 with about 60k miles). As I mentioned, I wouldn't get rid of it if I didn't have to.

I'm selling this car starting at a low price with no reserve. Who ever wins, I'm sure will get a great deal - it's not a beaten and worn wagon.  It's fun to drive and will take you anywhere and over anything. The new transmission was over $7k, timing belt/water pump parts and work was $1,400, the suspension upgrade was another $1,500, etc. The synthetic oil and filter has been changed every 3,500 miles while I've owned it.

If you're in NYC - come by and take a look.

Since this is a used vehicle - it's sold in AS IS CONDITION with no expressed of implied warranty.  The buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping within 7 days of the close of the auction.  A $250 Paypal is required within 24 hours after the auction ends and the balance is to be paid in cash at the time of pick up.  Please note that the car is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull the auction down if it sells.

Volvo pranks newest valet on the Italian Riviera

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

Being a valet on the Italian Riviera seems like a pretty sweet gig for a young guy. Not only do you get to watch beautiful people coming and going all day and night, but there's the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a plethora of exotic sports cars. Of course, being responsible for those expensive vehicles has to be pretty nerve wracking to get used to on the first day.
In a new commercial, Volvo pranks a new valet at the San Remo Casino to see how he would handle a surprise showing up on the red carpet. If the look on his face in the screenshot above doesn't show it, he's pretty shocked by what he sees. We don't want to spoil the reveal, so just watch the ad to find out. Afterward, if you're interested in the details behind how Volvo made it happen, you can check out a short, making-of documentary, here.

Kia EV9 wins 2024 World Car of the Year and World Electric Car at New York Auto Show

Wed, Mar 27 2024

The Hyundai Group refuses to release its kung-fu grip on winning prestigious vehicle awards, especially those for electric vehicles. In 2020, Kia took the overall World Car of the Year (WCOTY) title with the Telluride, won World Performance Car with the EV6 GT, and won the World Urban Car category with the Kia Soul EV. In 2021, after the Hyundai Group walked away with nothing but a free lunch, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 won the 2022 World Car of the Year laurels, plus World Electric Vehicle and World Car Design of the Year, followed in 2023 by the Hyundai Ioniq 6 winning the same three awards. Kia returns to the top step today, the new EV9 announced at the New York Auto Show as the 2024 World Car of the Year and World Electric Vehicle. Because the South Koreans like to do this in threes, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N won World Performance Car.  One hundred automotive scribes from 29 countries tested 38 vehicles for the main prize. The qualifications for entry are that a car must exceed 10,000 units in production annually, be on sale in at least two major global markets, and be priced below the luxury options in their respective regions. The EV9 beat the BYD Seal and the Volvo EX30 to the WCOTY title. Thirty-two cars vied for honors in the electric category, the EV9 outdoing the BMW i5 and the Volvo EX30. The German and the Swede aren't leaving New York with nothing, however, as the BMW 5 Series and i5 won the World Luxury Car title, and the EX30 won the World Urban Car trophy.  The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N outdid 16 other performance cars. We're sure there are engineers in Germany looking hard into their beer right now, the Ioniq 5 N pipping the M2 and XM to the victory circle.  The surprise of the bunch is the inclusion of the Toyota Prius, the global hybrid icon thrashing 70 other entries to win the 2024 World Car Design of the Year award. The other two finalists? The Ford Bronco and the Ferrari Purosangue. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the Prius. 

Volvo launches next-gen Sensus Connect infotainment system [w/videos]

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

To borrow a line from another automaker, the Volvo S60 has the power to surprise - it's likely not top of mind for most entry-level luxury sedan buyers, but it's good enough that it probably should be. There's long been one pretty serious chink in its armor, though, and that goes for the company's entire model line: infotainment. The Swedish marque's offerings just haven't been that feature-rich, but Volvo is working to improve things with its updated Sensus Connect, a suite of functions just launched at this week's CES in Las Vegas.
The new system updates center on cloud-based connectivity advancements that include a novel Park&Pay feature that allows drivers to search for parking and pay for their space from the comfort of their car. Other functions that show off the diversity of Sensus Connect include embedded, Pandora-streaming internet radio, Wikipedia, remote start via smart phone, dealer appointment booking, destination attraction searches and an available wifi hotspot.
All of this increased functionality sounds like a big step in the right direction, and Volvo is noting it has refreshed the system's interface with "graphically themed center and driver displays" along with improved voice control and text-to-speech capabilities.
