This is a 7-Day NO RESERVE auction for a 1999 Volvo V70XC Cross Country AWD Turbo Wagon! HIGH BIDDER WINS! This Volvo Cross Country Wagon in outstanding visual condition; however, the vehicle will need some minor work to be perfect. Please read everything for a complete and honest description. I purchased this Volvo in 2007 with 54217 miles at the time (this is documented on the current Pennsylvania title). I am the second owner and both I and the first owner maintained the car exceedingly well. It has always been kept clean and serviced and positively never abused. There are ZERO modifications to this car, in any way. No changes to the radio; no holes drilled anywhere; no body or tire modifications; and absolutely no engine or drive train modifications. With the exception of the front bumper, 100% of the paint you see is factory original. Positively ZERO rust ANYWHERE. Never any body damage. Front bumper was repainted when the alternator went out and a ying-yang wrecker driver from AAA damaged it. That killed me. Although there are minor imperfections to the paint -- and a number of pine-tree sap stains on the hood, the exterior appearance of car is nothing short of exceptional and speaks to the care the car has received. Interior shows equally as well as the exterior. Factory tan leather is well above average throughout and factor carpet and mats are excellent without any excessive ware or stains. There is very minor cracking to the drivers front seat (see photo) and multiple scuff marks to the rear seat leather from where child seats were installed. Absolutely no breaks or rips to the leather, anywhere. Both front door panels are loose at the bottom and all four door panels are beginning to show signs of the vinyl inserts not being glued completely to the backing. Wheels are the same ones that came on the car from Belgium; they have never been refinished. Two wheels do show minor corrosion around the beads; two are near mint. None of the wheels have any hard scuffs, bends or nicks. Rear tires are BF Goodrich Traction T/A radials (this is the OEM name and model tire that came with the car from the factory) with 38,000 miles on them; front tires are BF Goodrich Advantage T/A radial with 11,000 miles. Only reason I do not have OEM matching tires is because the Traction T/A was discontinued and is no longer available for purchase. Spare tire is a doughnut and to the best of my knowledge has never been removed from the rear well. Factory tool kit is also in the well. This car treated my family well for the last seven years. It was only within the last 7,500 miles that there have been multiple maintenance ans service issues that all cropped up within a short time. It was a tough decision, but I decided to not spend the money for the repairs. The lucky buyer of this vehicle gets to fix all the things that the car needs and end up with an outstanding Cross Country that should easily go another 100,000 miles. Here is the honest story of the good and the bad:
Whereas I am extremely knowledgeable about this vehicle, its operations and maintenance history, I do not have an organized binder of receipts and records as some Volvo-heads do. I'm more a put-it-in-a-shoebox kind of record keeper. My very reasonable terms of sale: $200 deposit due within 48-hours from the end of the auction. REALLY!! That means you need to be able to transfer $200 into my Paypal account within 2 days from the end of the auction. If I don't get the $200 deposit, I'll presume you are not serious about the purchase, and I will relist this Volvo. Fair?? Balance due in cash at the time the vehicle is picked up. I would like the car gone and paid for by August 9; -- I am not available 8/1 to assist with the transfer. Buyer responsible for all fees associated with transfer of this car to the new owner. If you are a Pennsylvania resident, please ensure you are prepared to transfer the vehicle to your name on the day of purchase. Unless you know someone personally, there are very few title and tag stores open on Sunday in Pennsylvania. If you are an out-of-state purchaser, you will need to have a valid insurance card from another vehicle and get a temporary transfer tag that is good for 30 days. This will cost you $75.00 for out-of-state drivers. I will NOT ALLOW this vehicle to be driven away until it can be completed legally. If you have ANY questions about this, please ask before you bid. Your $200 deposit it NON REFUNDABLE!!! I believe I have made all efforts to describe this car accurately and honestly. It is a good car, and affordable. It is not perfect and will need service and maintenance. Read everything and understand what I am selling. If this non refundable deposit issue does not sit well with you, than DON'T BID. I won't mind at all. Please email with ANY questions not already covered in the above saga. Also please be aware that I have ABSOLUTE NO INTEREST IN ANY TRADES related to the transfer or sale of this car. I'm not looking for any other cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, guns, or drugs. [I write this because I've sold cars before on Ebay and someone ALWAYS whats to trade something for what I'm selling}. Car needs to be paid for in CASH. ABSOLUTELY no personal checks. If you are interested in buying this vehicle, please ensure you HAVE ALL THE MONEY AVAILABLE before you bid or use buy-it-now. I'm exceedingly easy to deal with, but one thing that really gets me annoyed is hearing eleventh-hour excuses that revolve around, "I'll have the rest of the money on the second Tuesday of next week after I get paid or win the lottery or get my settlement or sell my other car....etc". You either have the money or you don't. PERIOD!! If necessary, ask your wife, husband, mother or father BEFORE YOU BID. Sold as-is where-is. No warranty expressed or implied. Contact me in advance of the end of the auction and you may view and inspect the vehicle. As the insurance has been dropped. effective 7/1, there will be no test drives further than up and down my street. Car is located in Spring City, Pennsylvania 19475. It is approximately 3 miles from the Royersford exit of Route 422 or 8 miles from the Exton exit of the Pennsylvania Turn Pike. If you do not know exactly where this is, please Google it. Please email with questions and thanks for reading everything. No reserve auction; high bid wins! |

Junkyard Gem: 1998 Volvo S90
Sat, Mar 26 2022Volvo began selling squared-off, rear-drive-equipped sedans and wagons here starting with the 140 in the 1968 model year, and continued selling those safe and sensible bricks all the way through 1998. The very last Swedish Brick models sold new in the United States were the 960 sedans and wagons, badged respectively as the S90 and V90 during the last couple of years here. We've seen one of those V90s in this series, and now it's time for its corresponding sibling. I found this very clean '98 S90 in a Silicon Valley yard last December. It hurts to see a well-cared-for European luxury sedan get this close to 200,000 miles and not quite make it. The only body damage I could find appeared to have been inflicted after this car entered the used-parts ecosystem. There's not the slightest hint of rust, of course; this car shows every sign of having spent its entire life in California. The interior is just beautiful, too. This is almost certainly a one- or two-owner car that got every maintenance item done on the dot and spent its downtime parked out of the sun in a garage. Dig this top-shelf AM/FM/cassette/CD player with remote disc changer, a $485 option in the 1998 S90 (about $850 in 2022 dollars). The MSRP on the car itself started at $34,300 (around $60,200 now). So, why is this car in the junkyard? My guess is that some major component (e.g., engine, transmission, differential) failed and a quick comparison between real-world resale value and cost of repair resulted in a call to Pick Your Part. High-end European machinery isn't cheap to fix, and 25-year-old Volvos aren't worth much. While a small but significant fraction of American buyers of the 140, 240 and 740 preferred cars with three pedals, that fraction had shrunk to insignificance by the late 1990s. A four-speed automatic was the only transmission available in the final-year S90 and V90 here (Europeans could get a manual version). Interestingly, Volvo stuck with the old three-digit numbering system (first digit indicates series, second digit indicates number of engine cylinders, third digit indicates number of doors) for internal company use, decades after ditching it on customer-facing surfaces. This car was a 964 in Goteborg. Volvo brought back the S90 name for the 2017 model year, and you can buy a new one right now, but it's neither rear-wheel-drive nor brick-shaped.
Celebrate Volvo's 89th birthday with some neat facts
Thu, Apr 14 2016Volvo, arguably Sweden's best-known non-ABBA export, will celebrate the big 9-0 next year. The company has always operated somewhat under the radar, but it has its share of stories to tell despite an image formed by decades of solid, safe, and sensible cars. To celebrate the occasion, here are five lesser-known facts about Sweden's last remaining car brand. 1. It opened North America's first foreign car plant. Idyllic Halifax was a small fishing city of about a quarter-million in the early 1960s when Volvo arrived and became the first import brand to build cars en masse in North America. American consumers on the East Coast developed a fondness for the Volvo Amazon line in the late 1950s, leading Volvo to seek out a plant in the Americas. Halifax ponied up incentives, allowing Volvo to take advantage of a pact eliminating tariffs on cars built and exported between the United States and Canada. Volvo built cars there until the end of 1998, when it said its facility was no longer viable compared to larger factories in Europe. That brings us to The Netherlands, where Volvo bought a quirky, innovative automaker that once sold a car called the Daffodil (which was actually its luxury model). 2. You can thank Volvo for CVTs – even though it doesn't use them. Volvo wasn't interested in picking flowers. It wanted the automotive arm of truck manufacturer DAF, which would include its assembly plant, its Renault engines, and the first mainstream application of the CVT gearbox. Volvo acquired DAF's car business over the course of a few years in the early 1970s and, in typical Volvo safety-oriented style, it slapped big bumpers and head restraints on the little DAF 66 and rebadged it as the Volvo 66. The Dutch assembly plant would grow to include a partnership with Mitsubishi in the early '90s. Today, it operates as NedCar and builds Mini Coopers for BMW. Volvo is no longer involved in NedCar or DAF (which sold its CVT division to Bosch, by the way), but its acquisition of DAF helped ensure the success of CVTs. Ironically, even though Volvo's investment helped make CVTs mainstream, the Swedish automaker's affair with them was brief, and today it utilizes only conventional automatics. 3. The Swedish carmakers were pals. Over its 89 years, Volvo has been closely connected to a number of automakers – most notably Ford, which ran the company for a decade, and its current owner Geely. But Volvo is most closely linked to its longtime competitor, Saab.
Watch Polestar talk about the development of its super S60
Fri, 03 May 2013Polestar is getting ready to deliver its first production car, the Volvo S60 Polestar. Letting the S60 stretch its legs, Polestar Racing driver Robert Dahlgren took the blue sedan from Barcelona, Spain to Jokkmokk, Sweden - stopping for wet-weather testing in Germany along the way.
Dahlgren narrates the journey of the "pilot project" that has 350 horsepower and around 368 pound-feet of torque, and will perhaps be the first in an era of hardcore Volvo production cars. It will go on sale in Australia this Summer, with other markets "under investigation." While we non-Aussies wait with fingers crossed, there's a video below to enjoy.
