2005 Volvo S60 T5 (High Pressure Turbo)

We are pleased to present this incredibly nice Volvo S60 T5 which is a very very rare car. This is quite a desirable car for a few reasons. Starting in 2005, the T5 model of the S60 became a very serious performance machine. It features different sport seats, a sportier interior trim, larger light alloy wheels, larger brakes, a lower, more sporty suspension with larger anti-sway bars, servotronic speed sensing variable-assist steering, and of course, the all-important 257 horsepower high pressure turbocharged inline 5 cylinder engine. You get all of this performance wrapped up in an ultra safe, ultra reliable Volvo. In fact, Rachael, our sales manager, drives a nearly identical car with about 250,000 miles on it. Her car has been trouble-free for the entire duration of her ownership. These cars rarely have mechanical problems. This S60 is finished in Magic Blue Pearl, which was a new color for the 2005 model year. It's actually still in use on brand new Volvo cars today. People always seem to love this color in person. Volvo has always developed the most interesting paint colors. The interior of this S60 is in very, very good condition for its mileage. It has arena (tan) leather sport heated seats with very rare dark gray accents on the dash, console, and doors which are in place of the wood normally found in the less sporty S60s. It gives the car a very unique interior look. The car has the "high performance sound" Alpine audio system upgrade which sounds excellent. It is fitted with the Volvo OEM Apple iPod interface which is in the center console. This is a very rare option. It also has a power moonroof. The previous owner of this car was definitely a non-smoker. These cars don't even come with cigarette lighters, just power outlets. There is a cup holder that accommodates two beverages. This Volvo has dual front airbags, as well as front side airbags, and curtain airbags for the front and rear seats. It also features Volvo's WHIPS Whiplash protection system. It also has rain sensitive windshield wipers, along with heated mirrors, and bixenon headlamps with high-pressure wash function. The Xenon lights are incredibly rare in this year of Volvo -- in any model! In fact, this is the first 2005 we've had which has been fitted with this style of bixenon headlamps. Bixenon means that they utilize the xenon bulb for both the high and low beam headlights. Most cars only use the xenon bulb for low beam, and use a conventional halogen bulb for high beam. This system allows for the full advantage of the xenon lights in both headlamp modes! The exterior of this S60 is in remarkably good condition for the year and miles, and Magic Blue Pearl in color. This is one of the most desirable colors on S60s, and really makes the car stand out. The exterior of the car is actually in very nice condition, and there aren't any major flaws to note. The car has no accident history at all. The 17 inch Nebula alloy wheels are in good condition. The car has had only two owners since it was new, and both owners seem to have serviced the car exceptionally well. You'll notice that there is a fairly sizeable dent on the leading edge of the drivers side fender. We have an appointment to have this repaired with paintless dent removal so as to not compromise the original paint of the car. We expect that the dent will mostly come out using this method. The tires have good tread remaining. The brakes are in  good shape and the car stops as it should. The legendary 2.4 Liter high pressure turbocharged 5 cylinder engine runs flawlessly and is very smooth. The transmission is also excellent. It's very smooth, while still handling well. Because this is a T5 High Pressure Turbo model, you'll notice several differences under the hood, like a revised inake system with a conical air filter, and a larger charge pipe. This, along with a larger turbo, and a tuned exhaust system allow the car to make more power. The engine itself is strengthened so that reliability is not compromised in any way. In fact, we've noticed that the high pressure turbo cars seem to be more reliable since the engines are more "beefed up" to handle the larger turbo's forced induction. The owners manual set is present. As was mentioned above, these cars rarely have mechanical issues, and this is definitely a car that you could purcahse with the intention of putting hundreds of thousands of miles on the odometer. We are a BOSCH Car Service Center, and we have completed a multi-point mechanical and visual inspection on this car to assure that it is in proper driving order.

This car includes a 3 Month 4500 Mile powertrain warranty at no additional charge. The warranty can be used at any repair shop in the United States, no matter where you live. This warranty covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. This is in place in order to provide peace of mind when purchasing a car via the internet. Additionally, this warranty can be adjusted to cover nearly every component on the car, and can be extended up to four years and unlimited mileage. Contact us for details on this affordable upgrade in coverage.

Since you're bidding, or making an offer, on a car which you may have not seen in person, it is important that a level of trust be established between you, our customer, and us, the dealership. This is why we post between 30 and 60 high-resolution images of every car we sell on ebay. We pride ourselves in having the most detailed, highest resolution images on ebay, and we use the finest photography equipment in order to catch even the smallest details of the cars that we sell. In addition, the description above provides a comprehensive walk-around of the car including the interior, exterior, and mechanical systems. We even will fill you in on any previous maintenance that we've performed. Regardless, all cars that we sell have been thoroughly checked for safety by our in-house master technician. In addition, we road-test every car we sell very extensively before offering it. If there are any issues with the car that are present, they will be mentioned in the auction. Because we road test the cars extensively, it is possible that the car may have more miles on it than when the auction was listed. We always encourage you to come check out the car in person before bidding or making an offer. If you are too far away to do this, there are several inspection services that can review the car, or we can take the car to a local garage of your choice for a pre-purchase inspection.
         
Please note that a $250 deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction.  This deposit can be made by contacting us directly and can be paid by credit or debit card over the phone. This allows us to speak with you person-to-person which allows us to fill you in on the process and fine details of the transaction, as well as lets you know that we are real people who are committed to making the process of purchasing your new car as easy and painless as possible. Buying a car should be fun and exciting, not a chore. The balance is due within 7 days via Certified Check, Money Order, or bank wire transfer.  We can also accept credit cards and personal checks for full payment with prior authorization. Simply contact us before bidding or making your offer to let us know that you plan on paying with one of these methods so that we can let you know about additional terms that apply.

Non-paying buyers will be reported to ebay.  We charge a $255 dealer services fee for all transactions. This fee covers any additional paperwork service, overnighting of paperwork, and dealer prep.  We can provide a temporary cardboard plate for out of state customers at no charge. Pennsylvania residents will need to pay sales tax between 6% and 7% depending upon your county of residence. There are also Pennsylvania fees for the registration, title, and license plate (unless you bring your own plate to transfer).
         
Inexpensive used cars are not at all the same as a brand new car, or certified pre-owned vehicle.  They are in no way flawless, or perfect. As noted above, we try our absolute best to disclose any issues which may be present on the car, however a car's condition is somewhat subjective and opinion based. Where door ding may be considered perfectly acceptable on a 10 year old car, it would never be acceptible on a car which is brand new.  Also, on higher-mileage used cars, it is important to remember that virtually any mechanical or non-mechanical component can fail at any time.  We cannot predict what components will fail in the future, or when they will fail.  This is simply the nature of older higher mileage used vehicles.  The best that we can do is assure that the car is operating properly at the time of purchase. This car is sold as-is, and we cannot be held responsible for any mechanical or non-mechanical failure.  Additionally, because we do not know the inspection requirements of other states, we cannot guarantee that this vehicle will pass any out-of-state inspections.
