This is a 7-Day NO RESERVE auction for a 1999 Volvo V70XC Cross Country AWD Turbo Wagon! HIGH BIDDER WINS! This Volvo Cross Country Wagon in outstanding visual condition; however, the vehicle will need some minor work to be perfect. Please read everything for a complete and honest description. I purchased this Volvo in 2007 with 54217 miles at the time (this is documented on the current Pennsylvania title). I am the second owner and both I and the first owner maintained the car exceedingly well. It has always been kept clean and serviced and positively never abused. There are ZERO modifications to this car, in any way. No changes to the radio; no holes drilled anywhere; no body or tire modifications; and absolutely no engine or drive train modifications. With the exception of the front bumper, 100% of the paint you see is factory original. Positively ZERO rust ANYWHERE. Never any body damage. Front bumper was repainted when the alternator went out and a ying-yang wrecker driver from AAA damaged it. That killed me. Although there are minor imperfections to the paint -- and a number of pine-tree sap stains on the hood, the exterior appearance of car is nothing short of exceptional and speaks to the care the car has received. Interior shows equally as well as the exterior. Factory tan leather is well above average throughout and factor carpet and mats are excellent without any excessive ware or stains. There is very minor cracking to the drivers front seat (see photo) and multiple scuff marks to the rear seat leather from where child seats were installed. Absolutely no breaks or rips to the leather, anywhere. Both front door panels are loose at the bottom and all four door panels are beginning to show signs of the vinyl inserts not being glued completely to the backing. Wheels are the same ones that came on the car from Belgium; they have never been refinished. Two wheels do show minor corrosion around the beads; two are near mint. None of the wheels have any hard scuffs, bends or nicks. Rear tires are BF Goodrich Traction T/A radials (this is the OEM name and model tire that came with the car from the factory) with 38,000 miles on them; front tires are BF Goodrich Advantage T/A radial with 11,000 miles. Only reason I do not have OEM matching tires is because the Traction T/A was discontinued and is no longer available for purchase. Spare tire is a doughnut and to the best of my knowledge has never been removed from the rear well. Factory tool kit is also in the well. This car treated my family well for the last seven years. It was only within the last 7,500 miles that there have been multiple maintenance ans service issues that all cropped up within a short time. It was a tough decision, but I decided to not spend the money for the repairs. The lucky buyer of this vehicle gets to fix all the things that the car needs and end up with an outstanding Cross Country that should easily go another 100,000 miles. Here is the honest story of the good and the bad:
Whereas I am extremely knowledgeable about this vehicle, its operations and maintenance history, I do not have an organized binder of receipts and records as some Volvo-heads do. I'm more a put-it-in-a-shoebox kind of record keeper. My very reasonable terms of sale: $200 deposit due within 48-hours from the end of the auction. REALLY!! That means you need to be able to transfer $200 into my Paypal account within 2 days from the end of the auction. If I don't get the $200 deposit, I'll presume you are not serious about the purchase, and I will relist this Volvo. Fair?? Balance due in cash at the time the vehicle is picked up. I would like the car gone and paid for by August 9; -- I am not available 8/1 to assist with the transfer. Buyer responsible for all fees associated with transfer of this car to the new owner. If you are a Pennsylvania resident, please ensure you are prepared to transfer the vehicle to your name on the day of purchase. Unless you know someone personally, there are very few title and tag stores open on Sunday in Pennsylvania. If you are an out-of-state purchaser, you will need to have a valid insurance card from another vehicle and get a temporary transfer tag that is good for 30 days. This will cost you $75.00 for out-of-state drivers. I will NOT ALLOW this vehicle to be driven away until it can be completed legally. If you have ANY questions about this, please ask before you bid. Your $200 deposit it NON REFUNDABLE!!! I believe I have made all efforts to describe this car accurately and honestly. It is a good car, and affordable. It is not perfect and will need service and maintenance. Read everything and understand what I am selling. If this non refundable deposit issue does not sit well with you, than DON'T BID. I won't mind at all. Please email with ANY questions not already covered in the above saga. Also please be aware that I have ABSOLUTE NO INTEREST IN ANY TRADES related to the transfer or sale of this car. I'm not looking for any other cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, guns, or drugs. [I write this because I've sold cars before on Ebay and someone ALWAYS whats to trade something for what I'm selling}. Car needs to be paid for in CASH. ABSOLUTELY no personal checks. If you are interested in buying this vehicle, please ensure you HAVE ALL THE MONEY AVAILABLE before you bid or use buy-it-now. I'm exceedingly easy to deal with, but one thing that really gets me annoyed is hearing eleventh-hour excuses that revolve around, "I'll have the rest of the money on the second Tuesday of next week after I get paid or win the lottery or get my settlement or sell my other car....etc". You either have the money or you don't. PERIOD!! If necessary, ask your wife, husband, mother or father BEFORE YOU BID. Sold as-is where-is. No warranty expressed or implied. Contact me in advance of the end of the auction and you may view and inspect the vehicle. As the insurance has been dropped. effective 7/1, there will be no test drives further than up and down my street. Car is located in Spring City, Pennsylvania 19475. It is approximately 3 miles from the Royersford exit of Route 422 or 8 miles from the Exton exit of the Pennsylvania Turn Pike. If you do not know exactly where this is, please Google it. Please email with questions and thanks for reading everything. No reserve auction; high bid wins! |

Volvo, Daimler, Traton join forces to build electric truck charging network
Tue, Jul 6 2021Volvo Group, Daimler Truck and Volkswagen's AG heavy-truck business the Traton Group announced on Monday a non-binding agreement to build a network of high-performance public charging stations for electric heavy-duty long-haul trucks and buses around Europe. The news was first reported by Reuters. The three major European automakers will invest ˆ500 million (~$593 million USD) to install and operate 1,700 charging points in strategic locations and close to highways. They intend to finalize the agreement by the end of this year and start operations next year, with the hopes of increasing the number of charge points significantly as the companies seek additional partners for the future joint venture. The venture is meant to be a catalyst to prepare for the European Union's goals of carbon-neutral freight transportation by 2050. One of the main deterrents for both individuals and freight companies for switching to EVs has historically been a lack of charging infrastructure. By building that infrastructure, Volvo, Daimler and Traton can also expect to boost their own sales of electric trucks and buses. “It is the joint aim of EuropeÂ’s truck manufacturers to achieve climate neutrality by 2050," Martin Daum, CEO Daimler Truck, said in a statement. "However, it is vital that building up the right infrastructure goes hand in hand with putting CO2-neutral trucks on the road. Together with Volvo Group and the Traton Group, we are therefore very excited to take this pioneering step to establish a high-performance charging network across Europe.” The partnership between Volvo and Daimler isn't unprecedented. In May, the two competitors teamed up to produce hydrogen fuel cells for long-haul trucks to lower development costs and boost production volumes. This latest venture is another signal that major companies are banding together to solve climate-related issues in the industry. European car industry association ACEA has called for up to 50,000 high-performance charging points by 2030. Traton CEO Matthias Gruendler told Reuters that roughly 10 billion euros would be needed to build out Europe's infrastructure to be fully electrified by 2050. According to a statement released by Volvo, this venture is also a call to action for others with a stake in the industry, like automakers or governments, to work together to ensure the rapid expansion needed to reach climate goals.
Volvo leads and Mini fails in JD Power's Tech Experience Index
Wed, Aug 19 2020New cars are basically rolling computers. Everything from the engine to the infotainment runs on a series of ones and zeros, and a lot of that technology requires input from the driver. So it's no surprise that JD Power has a study designed specifically to discern which bits of tech drivers love and which bits they loathe. "New technology continues to be a primary factor in the vehicle purchase decision," says JD Power's Kristin Kolodge, executive director of driver interaction & human machine interface research. "However, it’s critical for automakers to offer features that owners find intuitive and reliable. The user experience plays a major role in whether an owner will use the technology on a regular basis or abandon it and feel like they wasted their money." The J.D. Power 2020 U.S. Tech Experience Index (TXI) Study found that Volvo owners are happiest with the technology packed inside their vehicles, followed by BMW and Cadillac, all brands that JD Power classifies as premium. The highest-rated mainstream brand is Hyundai, followed by Subaru and Kia. As was the case with the organization's Initial Quality and APEAL studies, Tesla's numbers aren't officially included because they are the only automaker that has not granted JD Power approval to contact its owners in states that require it. Tesla's projected score of 593 would have put it in second place, right behind Volvo's score of 617. The lowest-ranked brand in the TXI Study is Mini, with Porsche right behind. Diving a little bit deeper, JD Power's findings suggest that the technologies new car buyers care most about are related to helping them see their surroundings better. Camera systems, including rear-view mirror cameras and ground-view cameras, scored highest in five of the six satisfaction attributes measured in the study. The technology that owners could really do without? Gesture controls. Owners who answered JD Power's survey say they don't use gesture controls much at all after initially trying them, and they don't really care if their next vehicle has them. We have to wonder if those responses might be what kept BMW out of the top spot. The TXI Study also found that owners are split on automated driving helpers, like lane-keeping assist and automatic emergency braking. JD Power suggests that owners may need more training on those systems before they learn to trust them. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Volvo won't go after S-Class, 7 Series market
Mon, 22 Apr 2013Volvo vice president of powertrain engineering, Derek Crabb, recently said that the Swedish automaker is developing smaller and smarter powertrain options that will "turn V8s into dinosaurs" - a statement that could have been our first indication that Volvo is no longer looking to create a luxury flagship sedan to take on German land yachts like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series. Now Automotive News seems to be backing this up after speaking with CEO Hakan Samuelsson, who said that a big sedan wouldn't fit the brand's green image and, more importantly, might not even be a car that its customers would even consider.
Rather than trying to compete in a small, established market against rear-drive, 12-cylinder sedans, Volvo is looking at the emerging, higher-volume premium small car segment to take on its German rivals with the all-new Volvo V40 (shown above). Not wanting to abandon the big-vehicle segment altogether, a next-generation XC90 is due out within the next couple years (and was spotted in some recent spy shots), and it will ride on the new Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA), which will be shared with the new S80 according to the AN article.
