Description:
This car is truly a blast to drive! The get up and go this car offers is outstanding - if you haven't yet driven a T5, find one locally (if you're not near mine) and you'll understand why you want to be driving this car. The AWD functionality combined with the high-end Nitto SN2 snow tires give you year round performance. The Volvo safety speaks for itself. The interior is in excellent shape (except for the small exceptions listed) and will be detailed before final sale. The exterior has a few scrapes and dings, as are expected for an 8+ year old car, but nothing excessive. I will also be detailing the exterior before final sale to help reduce the number of surface scratches.

These AWD models are rare and this is only one of a couple now posted on ebay.  Don't miss
it!  Ask your questions sooner rather than later.  With the price set over $1200 below the retail NADA, you can expect this to move quick.

Below is a list of maintenance that I have recently performed myself or had a local, very highly rated, "indy" shop complete. All records will be included with final sale. After completing the front suspension replacement, I purchased the 3 year/36k mile unlimited alignment plan from Tires Plus/Firestone. This will transfer with the vehicle and is not owner based, so you'll get it with roughly 32 months/33k miles left of FREE alignments. So whenever you put new all-season/summer tires on in the spring, you can rest easy that you won't have to spend $80 every time.  When the timing belt/water pump/coolant were done, the shop performed a full pressure test and it passed without any leaks or issues.

Recent maintenance (completed in the last 5k miles) includes:
· OEM timing belt, timing tensioner, and pulleys
· OEM Water pump, seal, and bolts
· Genuine Volvo Coolant flush
· Genuine Volvo Oil Filter housing, gaskets, seals, and hose (Replaced under PCV Oil Trap
Extended Warranty 205)
· Genuine Volvo thermostat kit (thermostat, housing, thermostat cover, o-ring, gasket and three thermostat cover bolts)
· Genuine Volvo front struts, front strut mounts, and front strut bearings
· Genuine Volvo front sway bar endlinks
· Genuine Volvo upper-right (passenger side) motor mount
· Two (2) New accessory belts
· Cabin filter
· Dealer completed oil and filter change

This car has a clean title and is accident free. The asking price may be slighltly higher than some others available, however, keep in mind that over $3k in regularly required parts/labor has just been put into this car to get it in prime selling condition, which most of the others do not have completed and certainly will need.  It is also the AWD, which is the big price differentiator.


Blemishes:
All defects are cosmetic and were from previous owner. 

Interior: Driver door aluminum handle panel has many pin sized dents (hard to capture in included image but looks like it was from the owners ring as it is on the handle for pushing/pulling the door open); A couple very small dings/scrapes on center console aluminum; Each aluminum panel on all 4 doors armrests has some minor scuff from regular use;

Exterior: Driver mirror has 3"x.5" plastic piec of frame broken off; ~1' surface scratch on driver door; Multiple small paint chips on front bumper from general road use; Rear bumper has indent from another car's license plate bolts in a parking lot (They pulled to close); 3 small (~.5", ~1", ~3") width dents on passenger-side rear door panel (unable to capture in images as they are so small); Other general surface scratches from age of car with regular usage.


Inspections:
If you are an out of state buyer, I will work with you and your certified inspection agency to complete their inspection promptly.  Requests from local buyers to have the vehicle inspected at a local independent shop will be considered on a case by case basis.  National agencies such as Carchex are a great option and are affordable while also providing additional details/images of any defects with the car -
https://www.carchex.com/car-inspections.


Payment:
A deposit of $300.00 USD is required within 48 hours of purchase confirmation.  Buyer has 7 days from auction close to complete remaining payment amount via certified Cashier’s Check, money order, or cash (in-person only).


Shipping/Pickup:

I am happy to work with a shipping company of your choice. All shipping related expenses are to be paid for by the buyer. I suggest you research your own shipping methods with a website such as http://www.uship.com/ or follow the ideas ebay motors has provided.

If you are in the Colorado area, I can personally deliver the vehicle to within 60 miles of the Denver metro area at no extra charge, if you desire.  Pickup will be allowed as soon as payment has cleared.

Before any shipping or delivery, full payment must be received by the seller, and cleared, before the vehicle will be released for shipping or delivery.


Notes:
Please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to communicate with all legitimate buyers and answer any questions. If there are any specific pictures/angles you would like to see, please ask and I will do my best to capture it for you.

Please feel free to reach out via ebay and provide a phone number I can reach you at, if you wish to ask any questions or schedule a showing.

The vehicle mileage is current, however, it is still being driven regularly and can be expected to have a few hundred additional miles on it from regular driving.  The vehicle is being sold AS-IS and will come with no specific warranties.  Certain warranties may or may not be included with the recent services completed by McDonald Volvo and Platinum Auto Services in Denver, CO, but no such warranties are provided by the seller.

2019 Volvo V60 vs. wagon competitors: How they compare on paper

Thu, Feb 22 2018

The next-gen Volvo V60 was finally revealed this week. The outgoing model has been on sale since 2011, getting a few minor updates along the way. The new model is based off Volvo's Scalable Platform Architecture that underpins other models like the XC90 and XC60 crossovers and V90 wagon. The V60 will launch with two engines, with a powerful hybrid coming sometime down the line. Since the last V60 hit the market, Audi, Buick and BMW have all released their own flavor of wagon. Like Volvo, BMW sells a traditional sedan-based model. Audi and Buick's wagons are both high-riding models with some very slight off-road pretense, much like Volvo's Cross Country models. We don't have details on the upcoming V60 Cross Country, but, even when accounting for ground clearance, the V60, BMW 3 Series Sport Wagon, A4 Allroad and Buick Regal TourX have a lot of overlap. Check out the specs breakdown below. Discover and compare other wagons and crossovers with our Car Finder and Compare tools. Engines, transmissions and drivetrains Out of the four wagons, the new V60 is the only one that offers two-wheel drive and a hybrid variant. The base V60 T5 uses a 250-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four and sends power to the front wheels. Stepping up to the V60 T6 nets buyers an additional 66 horsepower thanks to a twincharged — supercharged and turbocharged — 2.0-liter and all-wheel drive. A T8 model that uses a 390-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain will be available soon. All V60s use an eight-speed automatic. The Audi, BMW and Buick are all powered by 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-fours. Additionally, the 3 Series has a 2.0-liter turbo diesel. All three wagons have standard all-wheel drive. The BMW and Buick use an eight-speed automatic, while the Audi sends power through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. As base engines go, there's a four-horsepower difference between the most and least powerful models, though the Buick wins out on torque. The V60 T6 matches the Regal TourX's torque figure and trounces every competitor's horsepower rating. The V60 T8 packs more power and torque than any of the competition. Cargo and interior space The outgoing V60 was on the small side for a wagon. This new model rectifies that a bit, though its 48.2 cubic-feet of cargo space with the second-row folded is still substantially smaller than the competition.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining

First production Volvo P1800 stolen

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Want further proof that car thieves are the scum of the Earth? Some crooks in Sweden made off with a prized Volvo - the very first production P1800. The P1800, a two-door coupe, is a classic that's been growing in popularity over the years, thanks in no small part to its gorgeous sheetmetal.
This particular example, wearing chassis number two, wears red paint with a white interior. It was swiped from a locked storage facility in Stockholm, according to Hemmings, between August 21 and 22. The P1800 was owned by Mats Eriksson, vice president of the Swedish P1800 Club, who had given it a thorough restoration. Features to look out for on this particular car include the unique wheel covers shown in the gallery, and two different registration plates - C28000 and ACZ 780.
Larmtjänst AB, a non-profit that fights vehicle crimes in Sweden, is accepting any and all information pertaining from the theft. If you, or anyone you know, was in Stockholm on the night of the days of the theft or has seen a red P1800 in the Scandinavian region, head over to the Larmtjänst AB website to submit a tip.
