2000 Volvo V70 Se Rare 5-speed Manual *well Optioned & Non Turbo W/ Svc Records* on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
|
It pains me to say this, but the time has come to offer my trusty 2000 Volvo V70 for sale. I say this knowing that I've never seen, and never will get a chance to own another Volvo quite like this one. This Nautic Blue V70 is a non turbo, manual transmission-equipped car with the SE pack, sporting heated leather seats, a moonroof, and a list of other desirable equipment. If you're a Volvo enthusiast, you'll really appreciate the upgrades and maintenance that has been done on this car throughout its life.
We've owned this car for nearly three years and 60,000 miles after purchasing it from a dealer that specializes in Volvos, and have always made sure the car stayed running and looking great. Included with the car is a large stack of receipts of various maintenance and services performed throughout our ownership, as well as a well-kept maintenance log and the original window sticker. Outside, the car looks quite good for its age, and now is free of any chips or dings on most of the exterior, thanks to recent paintwork. Someone keyed what was the "B+" condition original paintwork on both sides, so I had my insurance take care of the repairs at a premium auto body shop here in SF (I have photos before and after if necessary.) The car has never been in an accident and retains all of its original panels. The Nautic Blue paint shines nicely, and I try to keep it waxed and clean regularly. I've trusted this Volvo with getting me to work, through night classes and graduation, on several east-coast road trips, and eventually, across the country with my life in cargo. We drove this Volvo from New Jersey to California last year when we moved, and relied on it to get us started here in San Francisco. I had the car smog tested and registered in California a couple months ago, and have maintained it with local mechanics and a Volvo specialist. Berkeley Bob's, a local Volvo indie shop, recently serviced this car, replacing an oxygen sensor and a PCV hose. There is a SRS code present for the passenger side SIPS airbag, but I haven't had that replaced. The car is sitting on 17-inch OEM Volvo S80 "Arrakis" wheels with brand new Falken Ziex-912 tires. I installed this wheel and tire combo 800 miles ago. Other noteworthy maintenance during my ownership includes: -Timing belt & waterpump @ 180k -New Falken Tires & Arrakis S80 wheels (1k ago) -New Bilstein hd shocks, struts, mounts & springs -New CA compliant cat, 02 sensor, VIVA CBE -New Accessory belt and tensioner -New Alternator and battery -New windshield -New Master window Switch cluster -4 new brake rotors, calipers, SS lines, and hard lines in the rear -New e brake hardware, shoes, etc -New Rensi all weather mats -New engine, trans, pitch stop mounts -New upper, lower rad hoses oil cooler hoses and clamps -New axles, control arms, tie rod inner and outer, and end links -XC70 grille -New clutch, DMS flywheel, clutch line, and slave cyl at 200k I've probably dropped $8000 in parts, repairs, upgrades, etc into this car over the past 2 1/2 years, and it shows. I have complete documentation and an overflowing file of parts receipts for what I have into this car, including the original window sticker and an obsessively-maintained service records booklet. The car was originally delivered to Volvo Corporate in New Jersey and driven by the same owner to 179,000 miles, where I stepped in. *Note: I will include a compilation of various spare parts and accessories with the car, but the bike racks are staying for my other car. This car runs, drives, steers and stops as it should. All power equipment is in working order. Items like the factory stereo and A/C system are all in good nick. Interior is cleaned regularly with Lexol and is smoke-free. I've put in the money and time to take care of this car during my ownership, but no longer need the car. This is a chance to own a rare-optioned V70 with all of the costly maintenance done. I've purchased an AWD vehicle to take to Lake Tahoe for the weekends, as I don't need a commuter car anymore and cannot park two cars in the city. Please ask all questions before auction end. A non-refundable deposit is due shortly after auction end, and full payment must be made within 7 days of listing end. Car must be picked up within 10 days of auction end. I would be willing to help with arrangements or meet your shipping company, but all payments must clear or be cash in hand before the vehicle leaves. This vehicle is also offered for local sale. Interested parties can reach me by phone for questions at 609-276-9843. I reserve the right to end listing at any time if the vehicle is sold. Thanks for looking, and happy bidding! |

Volvo calls in S60 T5 over oil pressure indicator
Mon, 30 Dec 2013As anyone with a driver's license should be able to tell you, the oil pressure indicator on a car is a vital feature. If you don't have enough oil pressure, your engine could seize up, leaving you stranded and causing catastrophic damage for both your automobile and your wallet. Worryingly, then, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that the oil pressure indicator lamp on certain Volvo S60 models is prone to failure, prompting the manufacturer to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to MY2011-2012 Volvo S60s with turbocharged five-cylinder engines manufactured between June 22, 2010 and May 14, 2012. All told, precisely 30,929 units are affected by the recall campaign. The owners of affected models will be notified by Volvo to bring in their cars to their local dealer for a software update. See the official notice below for details.

Volvo to build range-topping S90 sedan in China
Thu, 13 Nov 2014Volvo is furthering its deep ties in China by announcing a major expansion to its factory in Daqing that will equip the site to build its future S90 sedan. The automaker is promising to make the plant, "one of the most advanced car making facilities in China," according to its press release. Unfortunately, the company isn't specifying the amount being invested or how long the work will take.
Because the northeastern Chinese city of Daqing owns about 37 percent of the automaker, the location for the significant expansion isn't entirely surprising, especially since Geely owns a majority stake in the Swedish brand. The existing factory there employs about 700 people to build the original XC90 for the local market, but the upgrades will allow the plant to handle Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture modular platform.
To be fair, Volvo doesn't specifically call out the S80-replacing S90 by name in its announcement. However, it promises the first vehicle built in Daqing after the expansion will be a new premium sedan, and the upgrades will allow the plant to make "most innovative vehicles in its product range," and the range-topping sedan is widely expected to adopt the S90 moniker.
