2001 V70 XC, All Wheel Drive. Black with black leather interior (great combo!) 111k Miles.

I am the 2nd owner of this car and bought it in 2008 with about 65k miles on it from the dealer in NYC.
I've taken care of it and improved it because I love to drive. I needed a wagon that had more space and I have a dog, so, I improved the handling and made it a really fun wagon. These engines are bullet proof and the turbo is a great feature in addition to the all wheel drive. It will go through any mountain of snow, sleet or rain... and driving in summer with the modified suspension is pretty great. I just bought an Audi S6 wagon and though I'd love to keep both, I can't, so I'm selling this with no reserve and whomever gets it...is going to get a great deal.

There is some standard wear that I'll mention below as it is almost a 13 year old car, but it drives great and I've put a lot of money into it as you'll see below as well:
- New dealer ordered/installed transmission approximately 20k miles ago (about $5,000 worth of work)
- Newish control arms were also installed when the dealer put in the transmission
- Brand new Transmission Control Module (TCM) installed and programmed LAST WEEK...which cost $1,200 (I felt it starting to go and didn't want to sell the wagon without this being done)
- Full timing-belt kit & water pump installed at 105k miles
- IPD (dealer in Portland) heavy duty front/rear sway bars (urethane bushings)
- IPD 12mm front sway bar end links (stock is 10mm) - improves the front end strength
- IPD heavy duty front upper strut mounts (the stock ones are thin and weak -- these are a great upgrade)
- Ronal 18"x8" aluminum wheels (these are fantastic, strong wheels and the brand has been around forever)
- Almost new General G-Max AS-03 245/45 ZR performance all-season tires (they have about 2,000 miles on them)
- ** I also have the original Volvo stock wheels and tires that will come with the car
- K&N air filter
- Synthetic oil and filter changed every 3,500 miles
- New front coil springs - Hepa interior air conditioning filter changed approximately 10k miles ago
- Brand new rear tail gate struts installed 2-weeks ago (one of the was weak and the door was having trouble staying up, so I replaced both of them)
- New front bumper, but there is a little scratch on the drivers side from someone that just scuffed it 2-3 weeks ago -- that really hurt when I saw it. It's a very small scuff on the inner edge, but still...
- All leather interior seating is in great condition
- CD changer stereo (The stereo sounds great...by the way)
- 3rd row seating is built into these cars, but it's never been used
- Original owners manuals in the grey, faux suede Volvo cover - 2 original keys and 1 remote door/alarm fob

I have lots of receipts for the work above including much more minor work. I'm sure there are other parts that I've installed/replaced that I'm forgetting, but you can see 27 pics of the car at this photobucket link: s175.photobucket.com/user/rockgin/slideshow/2001%20Volvo%20V70XC

Aspects of the car that are not perfect include: The sunroof has trouble sliding open because the inner frame that attaches the shade that you slide open/closed in the interior of the car is loose, but the sunroof opens upwards fine - I didn't feel like taking down the headliner to fix it...I rarely used it anyway. The stock car alarm seems to work, but sometimes a "check alarm sensor" message comes up on the dash (this wasn't a priority fix for me). The dash also flashes a tailgate open message at times too, but this is a sensor issue and the tailgate locks fine (the dealer wanted $250 just to diagnose the issue - another low priority fix). There are some minor little dings, but the black paint still shines great. The backseat passenger door inner panel is a little scatched up from my dog trying to jump out the window to get a squirrel years back. Note that the rear leather seats are in near perfect condition, since they are usually folded down. And regardless of my dog, I keep the car clean and vacuumed...

The car looks great, runs great and handles better now than when it left the factory. As I said, I wish I could keep it, since I've put so much work into it, but I don't have the space to do so. If you're near NYC and would like to look at it this weekend, I'll be in town. Please ask me any questions if anything in my description isn't clear. I'm also putting up the car for sale locally and reserve the right to take down the auction at anytime if it's been sold outside of eBay. The Volvo is being sold in AS IS CONDITION with no expressed or implied warranty. $500 is due within 24 hours of the close of the auction and the balance is to be paid in cash at pick up.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT I'LL BE OUT OF THE COUNTRY FROM 12/12 - 12/15 -- I'll have no email access during that time. The winning bidder will be able to pick up the car after 12/15.

Thanks.

Volvo to complete concept car trilogy in Geneva

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Volvo went through some doldrums around the same time it was bought by Geely, but it proved that it was back when it unveiled the P1800-inpsired Concept Coupe last August at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It followed up with the sleek Concept XC Coupe crossover (pictured above) in Detroit that echoed the next-generation XC90. Now, the Swede is readying one more concept to bring the trilogy to an end, and act as the centerpiece of its display at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
There are no images of the new concept yet, not even a teaser, but Volvo says that like the other two, it's designed by Thomas Ingenlath and shares common design elements. Since it has already imagined a future coupe and crossover, maybe the concept is a sedan. Volvo has confirmed that it rides on the modular Scalable Product Architecture platform that is being used on multiple future production models and uses its new Drive-E four-cylinder engine family.
The Concept Coupe and Concept XC Coupe will be on display with the new concept in Geneva so that visitors can get a complete idea of Volvo's future. Hopefully, the company has finally righted the course and is ready to compete on the world stage again. Scroll down to read Volvo's few details about the new concept.

2015.5 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar [w/video]

Thu, 01 May 2014

Polestar Performance has been around since 1996, but until recently, it only did two things: manage Volvo motorsports operations and run a specialist consumer-facing side that built concept cars and boosted Volvo's turbocharged production cars by 15 to 60 horsepower. Five years ago, it fulfilled its long-held desire to engineer an actual production car, first creating the C30 Polestar Performance Concept, a showcar that led to the C30 Polestar Limited Edition.
That foray led to the berserker, 508-horsepower 2013 S60 Polestar Concept that Auto Motor und Sport called "a hard slap in the face to the Germans," and that model led to the limited-edition S60 Polestar production car just for Australia, a car reviewers swooned for, with one comparing its chassis finesse to the Ferrari 458 Italia.
All of which is to say, Polestar has a good start for a motorsports and tuning company to make good on its production car dreams. The 2015 Volvo S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar keep that momentum going, and beautifully at that.

Daimler, Geely mull China as production hub for hybrid powertrains

Sun, Nov 22 2020

FRANKFURT — Daimler and Geely on Friday said China could emerge as a manufacturing and export hub for hybrid powertrains jointly developed for Volvo and Mercedes-Benz cars. Earlier this week, Daimler said it would cooperate with China's Geely to build next-generation combustion engines for use in hybrid vehicles. The engines will be produced in China as well as in Europe, and Geely and Daimler will cooperate in engineering, sourcing and production, the companies said in a joint press release. "The export of the engine from China is considered to be an option," the release further said. Mercedes-Benz aims for more than half of its passenger car sales to be comprised of plug-in hybrids or purely electric vehicles by 2030. Geely is ChinaÂ’s most internationally known automaker. It owns Volvo Cars and Lotus, almost half of Proton and 9.7% of Daimler. Through wholly owned company Polestar, it builds low-volume Polestar 1 hybrid performance cars in the western city of Chengdu and Polestar 2 volume sedans in Taizhou in the east. "The companies plan to develop a highly efficient modular engine," a spokesman for Daimler said, adding that it would be used in hybrid drivetrains and manufactured in Europe and China. The modular engine will be used in cars under different marques at Geely and Daimler, a person familiar with the matter said on condition of anonymity as the companies are still in the early stages of developing the engine. An Conghui, President of Geely Holding Group, President and CEO of Geely Auto Group said: “This project reflects the need for economies of scale and targeted research and development investment in clean and highly efficient powertrains and hybrid drive systems and their applications." Geely also plans to build a plant with annual manufacturing capacity of 30,000 premium EVs in the western city of Chongqing, run by a wholly owned, newly registered company, according to documents on its website. Geely and Polestar declined to comment. The plan comes as foreign automakers including BMW AG and Tesla expand EV production in the worldÂ’s biggest market, sourcing major EV components such as batteries locally and often even exporting a portion of the vehicles it builds.   Auto News Earnings/Financials Green Plants/Manufacturing Mercedes-Benz Volvo Green Automakers Future Vehicles Hybrid
