Year:1998
Mileage:186000
Location:
Edmond, Oklahoma, United States
|
This sale includes one 1998 Volvo S70 GLT with several great features. Like many other Volvo sedans, this car is a workhorse that's been great around the city and also on road trips year-round. Overall this car looks great and clean from a cosmetic sense -- a potentially good car for a family, student heading to college, or a bachelor who does not mind a few imperfections for a car that runs great. Please see the listings of many features for this car, which has 186,000 miles. Most of the miles I put on this car were during the last 2-3 years, driving from Atlanta to Oklahoma and/or Milwaukee (about 900 miles each stretch). I have not once had any issues during highway driving, usually getting in the 800-900 miles on 2.5 tanks of gas (16 gallon tank). Also gets good mileage and idles smooth and quiet in the city. In December 2013 replaced camshaft seal. Consistently starts, runs like butter since this repair. Replaced the battery in October 2013 (like new with AAA warranty). Radiator replaced in March 2013. WHEELS AND BRAKES: This Volvo S70 has new rear rotors and brake pads (one month ago), new rear tires and rotated (one month ago, driven 1,000 miles), new front brake pads (about a year ago) and new-ish front tires. Oil changes completed about every 4,000 miles (I have records for each, along with complete repair history since 2008). Replaced strut spring seat (left and right) in summer 2013. Left ball joint replaced Aug. 2012. Other ball joint work completed in 2010-11. MUSIC AND OTHER FEATURES: New wiper blades. CD and cassette player with surround sound that turns heads. Huge trunk, with rear seats that fold down and ski-slot in the rear seat arm rest. Gray or tan leather seats and matching Volvo floor mats all around. All of the power functions (windows, locks, mirrors, etc.) work great, though the sun roof has been temperamental in recent weeks (no leaks, and I keep it shut most of the time); radio antenna works though its retracting capability is broken (the motor still works but the up and down does not due to a slightly bent antenna, which picks up radio waves in the middle of nowhere). The passenger side front door does not unlock with the power lock, FYI (I am told this is a fuse issue), but other locks work fine. This car has one key for ignition and doors, and a separate key for the trunk. COSMETIC ISSUES The paint is black and overall is in good to very good shape with "normal" wear and tear for a car of its age (some small scratches from gravel or other cars' doors opened close to this car). As shown in photos, the rear corner of trunk on passenger side has a small (3-4 inch) dent, and the front bumper, which is covered with black plastic coating, has a few cracks as shown (from a car that backed into this car at slow speed). Rear bumper was replaced a few years ago when a car backed into this car as slow speed in parking lot (tore off my rear bumper but was replaced by insurance, I have records of this repair and there was no damage to body of car). I spilled a large iced tea in the driver's floor area and a lot of dirt accumulated in spite of cleaning -- I think a deep cleaning and/or carpet shampoo will resolve this (I just didn't make time yet to try). Car now has recently-replaced double cup holders in center console to prevent future spills. This is a NO SMOKING car (it came only with covers for the cigarette lighters next to gear shifter and in center console of rear seat, so you may charge a phone and run GPS from both lighter plugs). One tiny ding (very small) on windshield on far left side (passenger side). HOW IT RUNS AND LIGHTS THAT COME ON WHEN STARTED: When this car is started, four lights come on (on the dashboard): 1. ABS light 2. Tracks off light 3. Service light (this light consistently goes off after one minute of engine running and car in motion, and 4. Add washer fluid light (the washer fluid reservoir has a crack in it so needs to be replaced). The "check engine" light comes on every year, usually about a month after I spent a bunch to get the engine fixed to pass Georgia emissions (I have year by year records of work completed to pass emissions and will provide more detail to those who inquire -- most recently passed emissions in May 2014 through replacement of vacuum hoses, A.I.R. System Reactor Pump). Replaced heater hoses and turbo hose in Oct. 2010. Replaced O2 sensor in May 2010. Replaced lock cylinder in Nov. 2009. AIR CONDITIONING: Notes about the air conditioning: The fans work great. With that said, I put in Freon in summer 2012 and the cold-factor has been hit or miss at best in spite of replacement of air compre$$or. The heater works great -- will be super hot heated air in seconds during winter. But as with other Volvos of the 1990s (and other decades) the Swedish did not master air conditioning (not as much need for it in Scandinavia, I suppose). I've grown to tolerate having little or no A/C cool air, but this is an item others may wish to address. I can provide receipts and records of A/C repairs (including Freon installation) which may, through process of elimination, help the new owner get the A/C to the coolness of their choosing. Both of the front seat warmers will cook your rear end within a minute of turning on in winter. I am selling this car "as is" with no warranty, no return. This is a good car and I have spent a lot of time with this listing to fully disclose all the recent history or offer to share more details as requested. Buyer should ask any or all questions BEFORE bidding. A bid means you the buyer understands this car sale is "as is" with no discussion after sale concludes. Test drives are available by request during afternoons and evenings (1 p.m. to 8 p.m. CST) -- the car may be viewed or test driven by serious bidders. Please email me via Ebay for details. THIS CAR IS CURRENTLY IN EDMOND, OKLA., AND MUST BE PICKED UP IN PERSON BY WINNING BIDDER. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKUP LOCALLY. I will not ship this car nor deliver it. LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: The winning bidder MUST COMPLETE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL, CASHIER'S CHECK OR IN PERSON PAYMENT ON OR BEFORE MONDAY, JUNE 23 AT 1 P.M. CENTRAL STANDARD TIME. I AM LEAVING TOWN AND MUST COMPLETE THIS SALE BEFORE 1 P.M. CST ON JUNE 23. NO EXCEPTIONS. PLEASE BE PREPARED TO COMPLETE PAYMENT AND PICK UP THE CAR ON SATURDAY, JUNE 21 or MONDAY JUNE 23. NO EXCEPTIONS. I have 100 percent positive feedback and sold two other cars on Ebay (in 2004 and 2008). Please email me questions. I look forward to helping this great car find a new home. Thank you for your time and interest (and BIDS). |

Volvo Concept Estate hauls in great expectations [w/videos]
Wed, 05 Mar 2014You're looking at the third leg of Volvo's award-winning concept trilogy, the Concept Estate. Despite its banal name, this sweeping longroof showcar has our attention like few other cars at the Geneva Motor Show.
It's not just that we have a weakness for shooting brakes or Volvo's take on the genre in particular (we can see some P1800ES in this design). We just think this car is exceptionally well surfaced, with a fantastic stance and the sort of clean lines that are singularly appropriate of a Scandinavian design. We also appreciate the details that are expected to inform future production models, including the T-shaped headlamps, strong rear shoulders and floating grille mount. In fact, the vast majority of the Concept Estate's design idiom is expected to make it to showrooms in future models, starting with the long-overdue, second-generation XC90 crossover.
We hope - but don't expect - that attitude carries over to the interior, which has stunning, white leather, floating clamshell seats backed in plaid. If there's one cabin feature that's expected to make it to production, it's a derivative of the car's new infotainment system, which features a massive touchscreen with tablet-like gesture controls.
Volvo Concept Coupe may see limited production
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Despite the impressive production debuts from Porsche and BMW at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show - the 918 Spyder and the i8, respectively - there was one car that captured the attention of the press and the public alike, enough so that we awarded it our overall top pick of the show: the Volvo Concept Coupe. Most concepts never make it to production, but the car's reception has been so positive that Volvo's board of directors is considering to produce it in limited quantities, Auto Bild reports. Italian coachbuilder Bertone could handle the limited production run.
Styled after the classic P1800, the Volvo concept was similar to the new Porsche and BMW in that it was equipped with a high-performance hybrid drivetrain. But Volvo took a different route from there, giving the sleek coupe a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor at the rear axle. All in, the combo is good for 400 horsepower and 490 pound-feet of torque.
If the Concept Coupe makes it to production, it may not get the trick hybrid drivetrain mentioned above, Motor Athority reports, but a milder plug-in hybrid setup or even just a conventional fuel-burning engine. In any case, it would be a treat if Volvo produced a fully functional, street-legal Concept Coupe, though at that point we're thinking it would be due for a name change.
Uber releases fleet of self-driving vehicles to select few in Pittsburgh
Wed, Sep 14 2016Starting today, a select group of Uber users in Pittsburgh, PA will have the ability to request a self-driving vehicle. If a self-driving vehicle is in the area, Uber will send it, as well as a safety driver, to drive loyal customers to their destination. The announcement to give customers the opportunity to get a ride in one of Uber's self-driving vehicles comes roughly a year and a half after the company set up its Advanced Technologies Center in the city. On Tuesday, the company offered a few members of the press the opportunity to ride in one of the company's self-driving cars. The fleet, despite Uber's collaboration with Volvo, was comprised of 14 Ford Fusions equipped with a host of self-driving technology, reports TechCrunch. Uber is giving away free rides as a way to obtain real-world testing, which is crucial for self-driving technology. Recently, nuTonomoy beat Uber to the punch by launching the world's first autonomous taxis in Singapore. While the choice to release its self-driving cars in Pittsburgh mainly comes down to the fact that its ATC is located there, the city faces four seasons and its difficult streets that are comprised of bridges, railroad lines, and an irregular grid layout will prove to be a challenge for the autonomous cars. Since the self-driving vehicles are still being tested, the cars will come with two full-time Uber employees. One employee will loosely grasp the car's steering wheel, ready to take over if something goes awry, while the other will monitor the computer's software. As TechCrunch points out, Uber's autonomous vehicles drove in a similar manner to a regular driver. It obeyed traffic laws, mimicked a driver by coming to stops gently and at other times abruptly, as well as driving slightly into another lane to dodge a poorly-parked vehicle, reports TechCrunch. There's no word on whether regular Uber customers will get a ride in one of the company's Fusions or one of the Volvo's that its working on. Automakers and companies alike have been in a race to put autonomous vehicles on the road. Tesla recently updated its Autopilot system, Apple laid off dozens of employees to reboot its self-driving car project, and Google is working giving its autonomous vehicle the ability to detect emergency vehicles. While this is a large step for Uber, vehicles with autonomous capabilities still have a long way to go.
