When the automatic transmission failed on this V70, the previous owner made a logical choice - rather than replace the transmission with another automatic (which commonly failed in this model year) instead he chose to convert the car to a 5 speed manual. The result is a vehicle that is unique, fun to drive and not likely to have transmission issues again. Unfortunately a year later, the timing belt tensioner failed and the engine no longer ran. At this point he gave up on the car. And that's when we took over. This V70 with all the options and the 5 speed was too neat of a car to junk. So we rebuilt the cylinder head, replaced the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, seals, thermostat, spark plugs, etc. and the engine came right back to life. In fact it actually runs very well and has good power. Additional service items included a new battery, wiper blades and bulbs for inspection, new shocks, new tailgate struts etc. The car is now all up to date on service and in good condition. It is clean inside and very well equipped. Interior features include: extra front cupholder, leather interior, heated power front seats (both sides) moon roof, integrated booster seats, third row seat, cargo cover, pet barrier etc. Exterior features include allow wheels and a 2 inch receiver hitch - very handy for a bike rack or small trailer. While we realize that this V70 will not appeal to everyone, it only takes that one person who likes Volvos, perfers a manual transmission and appreciates the work that has been done. Due to the age and mileage, we do not have financing available. The price is firm due to the very large shop bill. Please contact us for more details on this unique and very cool Volvo wagon.
