1998 Volvo V70 Base Wagon 4-door 2.4l - No Reserve on 2040-cars
Darien, Connecticut, United States
|
Great car for your graduating college or high school student. Well maintained and nice looking, no dash lights on and never been in an accident. We have owned this car for 8 years and is a daily driver (we are the 3rd owner and we bought it from the 2nd owner because they were moving overseas). Selling it because we needed an all wheel drive vehicle to get to the mountains to ski. Paint job is in real nice shape with very minor dings and scrapes (chips and scrapes on bumpers -- look at picture 2 and 4). Inside is clean (some of the seams on the seat were re-stitched where separated -- see pictures 6-9). Everything works as it should but there are a few minor issues (rear wiper does not work (fuse?), power mirrors have to be manually moved (fuse?), needs tires, small chip in front windshield at bottom (professionally sealed), plastic molding along side in back is cracked and covered with tape -- size of 3" round, radio will switch channels sometime when you hit a bump (look at picture 5 to the left under side window), and after the car sits for a while you need to wait a few seconds with your foot on the brake to move the shifter out of park). I have tried to be as detailed as possible with the description and is available to come see for yourself or if you want a close up picture of anything on the car let me know and I will try to take more pictures and post them. I live along the New Haven Metro North and Amtrack line in lower Fairfield CT making it easy to come see and pick up the car. I have listed the car locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if sold. |

2015.5 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar [w/video]
Thu, 01 May 2014Polestar Performance has been around since 1996, but until recently, it only did two things: manage Volvo motorsports operations and run a specialist consumer-facing side that built concept cars and boosted Volvo's turbocharged production cars by 15 to 60 horsepower. Five years ago, it fulfilled its long-held desire to engineer an actual production car, first creating the C30 Polestar Performance Concept, a showcar that led to the C30 Polestar Limited Edition.
That foray led to the berserker, 508-horsepower 2013 S60 Polestar Concept that Auto Motor und Sport called "a hard slap in the face to the Germans," and that model led to the limited-edition S60 Polestar production car just for Australia, a car reviewers swooned for, with one comparing its chassis finesse to the Ferrari 458 Italia.
All of which is to say, Polestar has a good start for a motorsports and tuning company to make good on its production car dreams. The 2015 Volvo S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar keep that momentum going, and beautifully at that.
Volvo launches XC90 configurator site
Tue, 18 Nov 2014In many ways the 2016 Volvo XC90 defines the future of the Swedish brand. The SUV is the introduction of the company's Scalable Product Architecture modular platform that should underpin most of its future models. It's also the first big chance to see whether consumers accept a model like this that's only available with four-cylinder power, granted a mill that is both turbocharged and supercharged. The configurator for this Swedish hopeful is just hitting the Web giving customers a chance to see what they think.
The only available powertrain on the XC90 at the moment is the 2.0-liter Drive-E with 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The base price starts at $48,900, plus $925 for destination, but that number can balloon quite quickly. Upgrading to the R-Design package tacks on $4,000 or the even plusher Inscription package adds $5,600.
Furthermore, there are several option packages to add some extra tech and comfort to the SUV. The Vision Package with a backup cam is an extra $1,600, two versions of the Climate package to keep occupants warm come to $1,050 and $1,950, respectively, and the Convenience Package that includes adaptive cruise control adds $2,000. Depending on trim, there are up to 13 colors available in an attractive variety, although all but two add $550 to the price. There are also a wide variety of leather upholsteries to choose from.
Volvo V40 Cross Country gets the all-wheel drive it deserves
Mon, 29 Sep 2014Want a rugged Volvo wagon? Gothenburg has two kinds to offer: there's the XC crossovers on the one hand and ruggedized wagons on the other. As we reported last month from the unveiling of the new XC90 in Sweden, Volvo plans on offering more Cross Country wagons in the future. But in the meantime, it has upgraded the existing V40 Cross Country with some key enhancements - not the least of which is the long-awaited addition of all-wheel drive.
Powertrain upgrades for Volvo's smallest soft-roader include the new T5 engine (a 1.7-liter turbo four producing 245 horsepower), an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The new powertrain is not only more capable, but also more environmentally friendly than the old T5 it replaces.
The enhanced V40 Cross Country launches in Europe mid-fall before being rolled out in other markets in the following months, but unfortunately the United States is not among them as the V40 is not offered Stateside in any configuration, which is a shame.
