 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 calls in S60 T5 over oil pressure indicator

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

As anyone with a driver's license should be able to tell you, the oil pressure indicator on a car is a vital feature. If you don't have enough oil pressure, your engine could seize up, leaving you stranded and causing catastrophic damage for both your automobile and your wallet. Worryingly, then, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that the oil pressure indicator lamp on certain Volvo S60 models is prone to failure, prompting the manufacturer to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to MY2011-2012 Volvo S60s with turbocharged five-cylinder engines manufactured between June 22, 2010 and May 14, 2012. All told, precisely 30,929 units are affected by the recall campaign. The owners of affected models will be notified by Volvo to bring in their cars to their local dealer for a software update. See the official notice below for details.

Volvo EX90 exterior teased further, goes heavy on glass and aero

Wed, Nov 2 2022

How about six more teasers of the battery-electric, seven-seat Volvo EX90 SUV? We've heard about the new interior materials, seen renderings of the minimalist instrument panel and read about a massive commitment to safety inside and outside the SUV. Now we have scraps about what it took to put everything together within the aesthetic Volvo sought and a mission statement of "confident, sophisticated, and seamless." The rounder grille-less front fascia flows over the hood to a greenhouse heavy on flush glass. A large, tinted panoramic glass roof lets in just enough light without superheating the cabin and without robbing headroom. The side glazing is flush with the pillars and nearly flush with the sides of the car to improve aerodynamic efficiency. Flush door handles emerge as the keyholder approaches. Volvo says the EX90 posts a drag coefficient of 0.29, a figure that compares to 0.26 for the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and 0.24 for the Tesla Model X that, admittedly, offers tiny optional third-row seats. Speaking with Motor Trend, lead Volvo exterior designer T. Jon Mayer said the other side of letting lots of light in the cabin is creating an inviting atmosphere when there's lots of dark in the cabin. "We’ve put a lot of effort into the illumination inside the EX90, trying to create a warm interior and a somewhat colder expression for the exterior," he said, making an analogy with the Swedish climate and Swedish people.  The Lidar sensor plays its part in a new level of safety and in aerodynamics. Placed at the leading edge of the roof, the Luminar sensor sits under a teardrop-shaped glass enclosure about 18 inches wide, under two inches tall. The laser system comes standard, helping provide 360-degree awareness so that the EX90 can always pay attention and take appropriate safe actions at those times when the driver isn't paying attention. Volvo says that tying exterior sensor safety logic to in-cabin cameras that can tell if a driver is focused on the task "can reduce the risk of death or serious injury by up to 20%." We've just seven days to go until Volvo mandarins gather in Stockholm to reveal the car to launch the automaker's next phase. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
