Immaculate, One Owner, California Volvo S70 With Window Sticker; Great Buy!!!! on 2040-cars
Long Beach, California, United States
|
Thanks for stopping by to take a closer look at this sterling Volvo S70 Four Door Sedan. I'm listing it for my friend and neighbor Greg who has treated it with the utmost care since he drove it new from the dealership 13 years ago. Metallic Nautical Blue Paint, an extra-cost color, still glistens and stands up to close inspection. No accidents, no rust, EVER! and not a '20-footer.' As result of his significant commute, Greg logged some 176 thousand - mostly freeway - miles. But because Greg was usually the only one in the smoke free car, the supple leather seats don't reflect its age. And if the mileage reading wasn't visible, the driver would think he was behind the wheel of a fairly new car. Even the Michelin tires have lots of wear remaining, and the care comes with its original window sticker showing the car's price of $31,575. I've been in and around cars as a hobby since I bought my first 1940 Chevrolet in 1952 and typically evaluate 'drivers' on a cost per mile basis. Considering you can buy this car for less than a lease vehicle's down payment, you can probably expect your next trouble-free 50,000 miles to cost about 5 cents a mile. Taking a look at other eBay offerings for similar Volvos will show good running ones approaching 250,000 miles. A new $35,000 car, for instance, will depreciate about $10,000 the first year. If you drive it 10,000 miles, cost is a dollar a mile. Makes 5 cents sound like a major transportation bargain. In addition to looking good, the car is currently registered and insured, has been regularly maintained by Signal Hill Foreign Auto Service (Signal Hill, CA) for the last three years and runs, shifts, rides and handles remarkably well, the latter assisted by its premium Michelin tires. Here's my overall assessment: For less than $3K, you get a very comfortable, safe, luxury-oriented vehicle that seats five with ease, is fuel efficient with its 5-speed adaptive transmission and presents extremely well. And there are three additional bonuses: a working electric sunroof to enjoy the evening air, a cold blowing air conditioning system for those hot days and cruise control for those long drives. So often I read eBay ads that say, "air condition blowing cool and was working, but 'just needs recharging'." What that typically means is that the compressor is shot and that a replacement will cost $1500 or more. Greg is offering this one with a low reserve (less than that lease car down payment). He's expecting the successful bidder to submit a $500 PayPal deposit within 48 hours of auction close and the remainder by cash or check, noting the car will be released when the check clears. If the buyer intends to ship the car, Greg will be happy to cooperate with the transportation company selected by the buyer. The car is located just east of Downtown Long Beach. This is a nice car and it's easy to get carried away describing it, so here's a caveat: To insure this car meets your expectations, personally inspect or have it inspected by a third party before you place a bid. Here's another: If you're new to eBay or outside the Continental US, contact me before bidding. Your questions and comments are encouraged and will be promply answered. After 13 years and 177K miles here are some additional things to consider about the car: 1)Two keys, no remote; 2) Gasoline access door closes but does not latch; 3) Radio on/off switch and gear-shift release sometimes require mild coaxing; 4) front passenger window works from pass side, but only goes up from driver's side; 5) left headlamp lens cracked years ago, but hasn't warranted replacing. Thanks for taking the time to read down this far. Rest assured we will appreciate your bids because this car is FOR SALE! |

The first trailer for Top Gear's 24th season shows a hands-free drag race
Tue, Dec 27 2016In the excitement over Amazon's new motoring show, it's important to remember that there's a certain series from the BBC that's attempting to get its mojo back for a 24th season. Yes, we're talking about Top Gear. Since Chris Evans' departure earlier this year, Top Gear news has been relatively sparse, particularly as The Grand Tour and its hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond seized headlines. But on Christmas, watchers of the series' YouTube channel caught a glimpse of the first scene from the next season. Featuring hosts Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid in what looks like a trio of old, dilapidated cars. We're thinking TG is running a taxi comparison. There's a London black cab and a Mercedes-Benz W210 – a favorite of European cabbies – but we aren't sure where Harris' boxy wagon fits in. Did the Volvo 850 Estate ever serve as a livery vehicle? But it's the basis for this comparison that's weird, because the hosts appear to be having a no-hands drag race. The cars veer off in different directions, traveling across what looks like a snow-covered dirt lot. We're assuming hilarity ensues. And while we don't quite know what they're hoping to accomplish, we are looking forward to watching it go down. Top Gear's 24th season doesn't have an official air date, and the video ends only with a cryptic "Coming Soon." Expect to hear more in the next few months.
2021 Volvo XC90 Review | What's new, prices, fuel economy, pictures
Tue, Sep 15 2020The 2021 Volvo XC90 is the biggest vehicle in Volvo’s lineup, serving up three rows of Swedish luxury. ItÂ’s an attractive crossover thatÂ’s instantly recognizable as a Volvo, serving as the flagship that led the brandÂ’s revival a few years back. Volvo offers choices galore with the XC90, whether that be through trim levels or powertrain options. None of them are distinct performance models in the vein of the BMW X5 M or the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63, but the XC90Â’s appeal isnÂ’t held in 0-60 mph times and freakish handling. Instead, Volvo focuses on what it does best: Safety, efficiency and classic styling that makes us swoon. ItÂ’s spacious and cosseting when fully decked out. And while the price can rise quickly, Volvo has entry-level versions that are attainable and priced below the competition. Despite this generation starting to age, Volvo keeps it updated enough to conceal its graying areas. Those looking for something shiny and flashy should look elsewhere, because even if the snappy tech and diverse powertrain lineup are intriguing, the XC90 still flies under the radar. ItÂ’s the luxury crossover for a family that doesnÂ’t wish to boast about its bank account, but still wants a taste of the finer things in life. ThereÂ’s even a plug-in hybrid version for those wanting something thatÂ’s both quick and efficient. WhatÂ’s new for 2021? Volvo has added to the list of standard features for the new year. Now, you get adaptive LED headlights, wireless phone charging and front park assist as standard. Rear passengers gain two USB-C chargers, and the heated wipers are made available as part of the Climate Package. The T8 plug-in hybrid model is renamed as the XC90 Recharge, and it gets a new entry-level Inscription Express trim. The R-Design model gets a new glossy black grille design. VolvoÂ’s 112-mph speed limiter goes into effect across the lineup this year. Lastly, Volvo has done some color and interior trim shuffling, but nothing major. 2020 Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription View 31 Photos What are the XC90 interior and in-car technology like? No matter the trim level, the 2021 Volvo XC90Â’s cabin is a lesson in minimalism. The vibe is different from any of the German or Japanese luxury machines. Where BMW and Mercedes dashes are festooned with design flourishes and obvious luxury, the XC90 is laid back and staid. Muted wood inlays grace the dash of luxury models, whereas metal inlays are used on sportier builds.
