hi and thnx for looking. I always knew Volvos were cool cars, made in Belgium OR Sweden, they are safe and reliable. I remember 240's rocked and 740-850's ruled. a friend or two had them in high school. my first Volvo was a V70 wagon (1998) and I loved it even after 203k miles ~!~ but, I just now discovered how really great these cars are in the AWD XC version. this car runs and drives simply great. nice and comfy, solid, good on gas, predictable and with the confidence of all wheel drive handling.
this V70 XC is just getting going. with lo-miles for the year, great service history, comes from a good home and real traditional Volvo build. but, they are not without fault and this is an older car. aside from the great ride, drive and looks... I was surprised to see an oil spot under the car, and it was down about a half quart of oil. parked at my home, and as photographed, I was concerned and brought it to my mechanic (actually formerly called Swedish Motorworks, Fairfield, CT. I also had three SAABs in the last 10 years).
Long story short, the oil leak was coming from a front right cam seal which means pretty much a big job. on his advice, we replaced the timing belt (had oil on it), water pump (didn't want to revisit this later) and what is called a cam positioning pulley (oil pressure activated) on the right side, along with oil and filter, gaskets, the cam shaft seal and more !! parts and labor $1432.21. yes, I maybe could have saved $200 here or there, but I go here a lot and they warranty the work. OK, that's done.
I am looking to get back some of my repair costs and some of the value of a really great Volvo wagon that can serve the next person for another 90,000 miles. and this car will likely do it. nice body and paint, clean interior, AWD, full power, proper gauges, decent tires, great brakes, comfortable, quiet exhaust, battery, electric, horn, wipers, lights, gauges wheels, factory stereo, handles super with great suspension and plenty of ability to move you around town or blast down the highway. a pleasure to drive and be seen in ~!~.
yes, there is a bump and scuff or two. there are scratches in the paint on both sides along the doors (hard to photo) and, sure, you could spend some money on a detail. but, I just did all the heavy lifting and you get to drive it home at a low eBay price. bid and buy with confidence... please feel free to email or call. better yet, just stop by or send a friend, take it for a drive or drive it home.

Ford F-Series Super Duty earns Truck of Texas award
Wed, Oct 12 2016Texans love their pickup trucks, which you already knew. That means the Texas Auto Writers Association and its "Truck of Texas" award is a big deal. And the latest trophy goes to the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The pickup truck managed to snag TAWA's award at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. The award marks the 13th time Ford's F-Series has been named the pickup king of the Lone Star State. Roughly 70 journalists converged outside at the Longhorn River Ranch, just outside of Austin, TX, for the 23rd annual Texas Truck Rodeo where a host of Ford's vehicles won awards. In addition to the F-Series Super Duty being named the "Truck of Texas," the 2017 Ford Super Duty won the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck award, while the 2017 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine won the Best Powertrain award. The journalists also awarded Ford for having the "Truck Line of Texas." Ford wasn't the only winner at the Texas Truck Rodeo, as Nissan brought home five awards, including one for the 2017 Titan in the fullsize pickup category and one for the Armada in the SUV segment. Ram also won a few accolades with its trucks. The 2017 Ram 1500 won for being the most luxurious pickup truck, while the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon won the off-road pickup truck award. Last year, TAWA named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the Truck of Texas, but Ford's all-new F-Series Super Duty managed to keep the Japanese automaker's full-size offering at bay. For the 2017 model, Ford placed aluminum body panels into the F-Series Super Duty's body, which not only shed weight, but also make the truck stronger. Scroll down to see the entire list of TAWA's winners from the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo.

Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023
Mon, Sep 12 2022Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVs like the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like the BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in. But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below. Best Subcompact Luxury SUV  |  Best Compact Luxury SUV  |  Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row)  |  Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row)  |  Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row) Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out: Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better: Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded, non-luxury compact SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB.   Volvo XC40 Why it stands out: More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better: Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.
