2001 Volvo V70 Xc - Great Condition & Many New Parts. No Reserve. on 2040-cars

Year:2001 Mileage:112000
Location:

Brooklyn, New York, United States

Brooklyn, New York, United States

 Selling my excellent 2001 Volvo V70 XC. 2.4 liter Turbo engine. Automatic transmission.

I'm the 2nd owner and I originally bought the car from the Manhattan dealer.
It currently has 112,000 miles on it and it drives great and handles better than new. I've made many upgrades to the car and it has the best cargo space out of any wagon on the market -- the rear seats fold totally flat and it has a pop up 3rd row of seating in the back. I just bought a new wagon and need to sell it (though I don't want to), but don't want to pay for the additional insurance as well as deal with NYC parking with 2 cars.
My upgrades and recent new parts include:
- New battery (5yr warranty)
- New timing belt, tensioner and water pump @ 105k miles
- Brand new transmission brain (TCM - transmission control module) 2-weeks ago. This includes all relays along the harness (dealer installed)
- New transmission installed at 90K miles (dealer installed)
- New control arms installed at 90k (when the transmission was done)
- New rear hatch hydraulic arms/supports
- IPD front/rear sport sway bars & 12mm front end links installed at 95k miles (makes a huge difference to the handling - makes it corner much better)
- New front springs installed at 100k
- New IPD heavy duty front strut upper pads installed at 100k (another great suspension upgrade)
- K&N air filter
- New front bumper installed at 95k (there was a crack at the bottom when I bought it and it was faded, so I replaced it)
- Comes with new Pagid brake pads (not installed & much better than stock))

The overall condition of the interior is in great shape. The door panels at the rear have some wear on them. The sunroof tilts up fine, but the frame that secures the interior sliding roof panel is loose and so...the sunroof doesn't open properly (the headliner needs to be disconnected on one side and the frame can be easily fixed). The rear hatch "open" warning light goes one - one of the wires got pinched when installing the new support arms in the rear...but everything locks fine. These are all minor issues.  I have many receipts of parts bought, dealer work as well as independent shop work done to the car since I've owned it.

It has a 4CD changer stereo that sounds fantastic. Besides what I mentioned above, everything works great. The engine is bullet proof and so is the 4 wheel drive -- it'll plow through any snow storm and it has this past (brutal) winter. The paint is in very good shape with a couple minor dings and scratches -- better than appropriate for a car of this age. This wagon has served me incredibly well since I've owned it (I bought it in 2008 with about 60k miles). As I mentioned, I wouldn't get rid of it if I didn't have to.

I'm selling this car starting at a low price with no reserve. Who ever wins, I'm sure will get a great deal - it's not a beaten and worn wagon.  It's fun to drive and will take you anywhere and over anything. The new transmission was over $7k, timing belt/water pump parts and work was $1,400, the suspension upgrade was another $1,500, etc. The synthetic oil and filter has been changed every 3,500 miles while I've owned it.

If you're in NYC - come by and take a look.

Since this is a used vehicle - it's sold in AS IS CONDITION with no expressed of implied warranty.  The buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping within 7 days of the close of the auction.  A $250 Paypal is required within 24 hours after the auction ends and the balance is to be paid in cash at the time of pick up.  Please note that the car is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull the auction down if it sells.

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.

Verizon buys Telogis in connected vehicle market push

Wed, Jun 22 2016

(Note/disclaimer: We are owned by Verizon, by way of AOL. This gives us no inside track whatsoever when it comes to news.) With a lot of tech companies and automakers staking their claims in the connected car space, now there are signs that others are looking to move in, too. Today, telecoms giant Verizon announced that it is acquiring Telogis, a California-based company that develops cloud-based solutions for mobile workforces, and specifically telematics, compliance and navigation software used by Ford, Volvo, GM and other car companies, as well as Apple and AT&T. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, although we'll try to find out. Considering that Verizon in 2015 reported full-year revenues of $131.6 billion, the price would have to be very high to be considered "material" and may not be made public for some time, if ever. Telogis in its time as a startup raised a substantial amount of money, just over $126 million in all, including $93 million in 2013, supposedly ahead of an IPO, all from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Back in 2013 when KPCB made its investment (which was the first from a VC firm in the company), Telogis told TechCrunch it was profitable and forecasting revenues of $100 million annually for the year. It's not clear what size those revenues are now, but if it was on the same growth trajectory as before the funding, sales would be around $150 million annually, with profitability, at the moment. Other investors include some very notable strategics: the investment arm of General Motors, and Fontinalis Partners, which also invests in Lyft and was co-founded by Bill Ford, the executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company. Before the acquisition, Verizon actually had a business in fleet management and telematics; in fact, the two companies competed against each other for business from the trucking and other industries. Verizon Telematics, as the business is called, is active in 40 countries. But in a way, Verizon buying Telogis is a sign that the latter may have proved to be the more superior, and the one with the key customer deals.

Volvo XC90 First Edition sells out in 47 hours

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Two days ago, Volvo opened the order books on its completely new 2015 XC90 crossover, and just like that, all of the 1,927 First Edition models were reserved in a scant 47 hours. According to Volvo, most of the vehicles were reserved within one hour of the online ordering site launching, and at its peak, seven cars were being sold each minute.
First Edition models wear a unique Onyx Black exterior, and ride on eight-spoke, 21-inch wheels. Inside, amber nappa leather covers the seats, the dashboard is lined in charcoal leather, and there are walnut inlays throughout the cabin.
Under the hood, the XC90 First Edition can be had with either a four-cylinder Drive-E gasoline or diesel engine (if you live in markets outside the US, of course). The twin-charged T6 petrol model comes with 320 horsepower, and sends its power to the ground via all-wheel drive.
