2004 Volvo C70 Convertible- Rare Color, Dealer Maintained Priced For Fast Sale! on 2040-cars
Charlottesville, Virginia, United States
|
Just in time for spring- This is THE convertible bargain on Ebay! I've just dropped the price over $1,000 to get it sold this week.
I have a small collection of classic cars (primarily Volvo's and Saab's) and after a buying spree over the winter I am forced to thin the herd by a few cars now that spring is here. I just sold one of my Saabs earlier this week and now we need to sell this cream puff to buy our son his first car- preferably an older wagon/SUV. I purchased this beautiful convertible from a dealer in Pennsylvania that specializes in high end Volvo's. What attracted me to the car- and what the new owner will find most exciting- is the unique color combination that was only available in 2004 (Sky blue metallic over linen/taupe interior). This Volvo was special ordered from the factory and picked up in Sweden in 2004 by the original owner. Completing the interior is the unique teak style dash wood inlays that extends to the console and shifter. From the condition I can only assume this car has always been garaged, as it is now. The navy canvas top- 2004 was the last of the canvas top convertibles for Volvo- is in excellent condition- see photos. The original owner and second owner before me had virtually all service done by the dealer (Volvo of Ft. Washington, Pa). I called that dealer after I purchased the car and they had 48 service records on file including records for a recent timing belt change. For privacy reason, the dealer I bought the car from would not include hard copies of the service records, but if you give the dealer the Vin# they have all records on their computer. While the pictures tell the story- there are small nicks, scratches etc typical of a 10 year old car...but you can see how beautiful the paint still shines- The Carfax shows a minor accident in 2010 which I believe included the plastic airdam underneath the front bumper where the fog lights were removed. The interior is very clean. The car has had an oil/filter change less than 3,000 miles ago and I had the transmission flushed and changed at the Volvo dealer here in Virginia in December. The car has a December 2014 Virginia state inspection decal and I had a Volvo dealer do the inspection. New tie rods were installed to pass inspection. There are 4 matching Continental tires (over 80% tread remaining) mounted on very rare Volvo 17 inch "Arrakis" wheels- an unusual sight on a C70. Unused spare and all tools included as shown in photos. The a/c is charged and blows cold. All original Volvo books are included. I have just one key and no alarm fob. Issues that I know of: *one of the rear window switches occasionally sticks but all four windows go up and down when the convertible top is opened and closed * the hood latch occasionally sticks- I've heard this is a common problem on this model. I had the dealer realign the hood latch in Dec. *there is a small dent right over the passenger side wheel well which can be seen (barely) in the photographs *I had occassional transmission lag between 2nd and 3rd which seems to have been rectified with new upper and lower torque arms just installed by the dealer two weeks ago. *the headlight washer hose on one headlight wiper needs to be fixed. Honestly- can anyone tell me why these exist?? This outstanding Volvo C70 convertible is 10 years old but looks nearly new. It is being sold "as-is" with no warranty given or implied. I also have the car for sale locally so the auction may be ended early for a local buyer. All emailed questions will be answered promptly. |

Volvo XC90 R-Design adds a dash of sport
Thu, 18 Sep 2014The 2015 Volvo XC90 is a huge leap forward for the Swedish automaker as its first all-new model since leaving Ford ownership. There's a lot riding on the crossover's success, too, because its platform is supposed to underpin Volvo vehicles for years to come. The latest move for the new CUV is adding a little aggressiveness to the look with the R-Design trim for buyers desiring a sportier-looking Swede.
The R-Design joins the already announced Momentum and Inscription trims. Mechanically it doesn't change anything, but ticking the box for the R-Design adds a slightly different grille with horizontal slats, a redesigned lower air dam, new window trim, matte silver side-mirror covers and rectangular exhaust nestled in an altered lower rear bumper. The sportier XC90 comes standard with 20-inch wheels, but a 22-inch design is optional, as well.
The meaner look is carried inside with sport seats covered in Nubuck and Nappa leather, a perforated leather steering wheel and R-Design trim for the gearshift, pedals, floor mats and illuminated tread plates. The touchscreen infotainment system also gets an R-Design theme.
Volvo S60 Polestar Concept looking Smurfy in Jay Leno's Garage
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Is it just us, or has Jay Leno's Garage evolved from an intimate, off-the-cuff video series designed to show off the late-night comedian's automobile collection into something a lot more ambitious and... mainstream? This isn't a complaint, exactly, as Leno has been putting out engaging videos at an increasingly furious pace. However, we can't help but note that the subjects have largely graduated from the funnyman's steam-powered eccentricities and forgotten classics to lots of new production and concept cars, often with automaker execs in tow. It's almost as if the series is turning into an internet version of his NBC talk show, one where bigwigs swing by to show off their latest projects as part of their publicity tours, only instead of new movies and albums, it's cars or the occasional motorcycle.
Such is the exactly case with Volvo's stonking S60 Polestar Concept, which makes its appearance in Jay's warehouse of wonders this week. Tuned by in-house skunkworks Polestar, the "Swedish Racing Blue" S60 has certainly been making the rounds as of late, with recent appearances near Leno's garage at the LA Auto Show and an Auto Motor und Sport track faceoff against the BMW M3 and Audi RS4 Avant.
Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that Volvo is so keen to get its showcar in front of the cameras - last we heard, executives were seriously considering a small production run for their unlikely 508-horsepower, all-wheel drive sport sedan, though we continue to hear that realistic pricing is likely to be a roadblock.
Last Volvo XC90 rolls off assembly line in Gothenburg
Mon, 14 Jul 2014It was back in 1998 when Volvo set about developing its first SUV. The brief was to build a seven-seater that wasn't "too large", and several design proposals were considered. Three and a half years later Volvo revealed the XC90 at the 2002 Detroit Auto Show and the rest, as they say, is history.
Volvo initially had an eye towards selling 50,000 units per year. It achieved that and then some, selling around 85,000 examples per year between 2004 and 2007. Now, after 12 years and 636,143 examples made - still over that initial target on average despite its lingering age that see it selling just 11,000 units these past few years - the last Volvo XC90 rolled off the assembly line in Gothenburg.
That final example is heading straight to the Volvo Museum adjacent to the factory. But it won't, strictly speaking, be the last XC90. It is the last of that model to be built in Sweden, but a new model is on its way. And the current model will continue to be built in Daqing, China, to be sold locally as the Volvo XC Classic. So if you want to get your hands on a seven-seat Volvo crossover, you'll have to move there. Otherwise you can wait until the end of January 2015 for the new model to begin production.
