The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The ABS light comes on occasionally."

This car was purchased for a friend, in order that he might give to his daughter. She is starting college and would need a good commuting car.

I'm a retired mechanic and agreed to fix the car as if it were for my daughter.I looked at everything that I could think of. First, I flushed all of the fluids, cooling system, transmission and brakes. During this process, I replaced the timing belt, but the idler bearings and water pump were very tight (good condition) and these were not replaced nor was the accessory belt. I replaced the front brake pads and turned the rotors. The rear brakes were fine. I have on order a front strut bushing; it doesn't affect the suspension, but allows the occasional clunk from the front.

The car had some tuning problems when purchased; these were repaired. She passed SMOG with great (low) numbers.

When he told me that he no longer needed the car as his ex-wife purchased an almost new Ford Fiesta. You wouldn't have wanted to hear my friends views on this matter. I promptly registered and insured the car in my name. I didn't finish attending to the occasional ABS light.

As the mileage was so low for the year, it certainly is suspect. My investigations at the time of purchase led me to believe that it wasn't far off of the mark. The driver's seat is cracked, but not torn. The idler bearings nor the water pump did not need replacement. I feel as though the car does not have more than 90,000, as the timing belt was OK! I will be interested to see the ebay car fax.

The tires have around 10,000 miles left.

The car is is economical; I getting close to 20 mpg in town.. She is also great fun to drive. Will cruise at 75 MPH and brakes straight. All of the body lines are correct: she shows no sign of having been in any serious accident. The title is NOT salvage!

Volvo makes the XC60 disappear into art

Sun, 16 Jun 2013

For the last few years, Volvo has set up an art display in the Zurich, Switzerland central train station called the Volvo Art Session, allowing select artists - both established and up-and-coming - to create temporary exhibits with one of Volvo's products acting as the centerpiece. This year, six artists from across Europe converged in Zurich to turn a 2014 Volvo XC60 into a work of art.
Each started with a blank white canvas, creating a massive display in what Volvo says is one of the busiest covered public places in Europe, and after each was done, it was all erased for the next artists to come in and do his or her thing. While some made the XC60 a focal point in the art, others made the crossover seemingly disappear. We have a gallery of all six finished pieces, but if you want to see background of the artists or time-lapse videos of their works, head over to VolvoArtSessions.com. This site also shows the exhibits from the prior two years, and a press release can be found below.

Volvo Concept XC Coupe does the full monte ahead of Detroit debut [w/video]

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

When the doors open at the Cobo Center next week for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, Volvo will lift the veil on its new Concept XC Coupe. But you don't have to even wait that long. A set of images leaked out yesterday to accompany a teaser video released by Volvo, but now the Swedish automaker has revealed the full thing.
The second of three new concept cars aiming to show the way forward for the brand, the Concept XC Coupe follows the Concept Coupe revealed last September. Based on Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture, the Concept XC Coupe is expected to preview the next-generation XC90 crossover, but with two fewer doors and a four-seat cabin.
With orange details, matte rubber moldings and underbody skid plates, the design is said to have been inspired by outdoor equipment manufacturer POC - naturally also based in Sweden - whose products are favored by extreme athletes around the world. It rides on 21-inch wheels and incorporates T-shaped DRL headlights, with distinctive tail-lights earmarked to make their way onto the next generation of production Volvos.
