Volvo Convertible C70 1999 Gray With Blue Convertible Top Rops, Safe And Sporty on 2040-cars
Forest, Virginia, United States
1999 Volvo C70 Convertible, 5 cyl engine, 12/14 inspection, new battery and alternator. Good condition, good michelin tires. Was driven until a few weeks ago, then began to crank but not run but for a few seconds. As you can see convertible top works fine. May be a simple fix, but not sure, no prior signs just will not run for over a few seconds. All heat/ac works etc. Roll over protection system and volvo safety. It will make someone a nice looking top down vehicle for the summer. No leaks or rips in the top. I repeat the vehicle will crank but will not run for over a few seconds before cutting off. I have not put any time or investment into determining a fix for this vehicle. The vehicle does a rebuilt head less than two years old completed by local Volvo dealership with all service records since local purchase. Front seat has rip, but heat still works. The vehicle does have some front fairing damage as you can see in photographs. One headlight wiper is missing. Will not ship, available anytime locally for viewing. There is some clear coat peeling on hood, bumper and trunk. I checked the carfax prior to my purchase and found no records but title is showing repaired by the same local Volvo dealership. Car is well worth the price even if someone was parting out, but even better if you wish to restore it to its glory. This vehicle looks very similar to newer years Volvo C70's. Vehicle is being sold "as is, where is". NO warranty. I will be adding photographs as I have them uploaded of interior and mileage. Feel free to contact me with any questions. LOW reserve,
Factory Stereo with center dash speaker, nice wheels and michelin tires, good Virginia state inspection through 12/14 |

Volvo launches next-gen Sensus Connect infotainment system [w/videos]
Fri, 10 Jan 2014To borrow a line from another automaker, the Volvo S60 has the power to surprise - it's likely not top of mind for most entry-level luxury sedan buyers, but it's good enough that it probably should be. There's long been one pretty serious chink in its armor, though, and that goes for the company's entire model line: infotainment. The Swedish marque's offerings just haven't been that feature-rich, but Volvo is working to improve things with its updated Sensus Connect, a suite of functions just launched at this week's CES in Las Vegas.
The new system updates center on cloud-based connectivity advancements that include a novel Park&Pay feature that allows drivers to search for parking and pay for their space from the comfort of their car. Other functions that show off the diversity of Sensus Connect include embedded, Pandora-streaming internet radio, Wikipedia, remote start via smart phone, dealer appointment booking, destination attraction searches and an available wifi hotspot.
All of this increased functionality sounds like a big step in the right direction, and Volvo is noting it has refreshed the system's interface with "graphically themed center and driver displays" along with improved voice control and text-to-speech capabilities.
Volvo uncovers widespread cheating by its Chinese dealers
Tue, 26 Mar 2013According to a report in Reuters, the findings of an internal investigation conducted by Geely-owned Volvo is that its Chinese dealers vastly overreported their sales numbers in 2011, then even more vastly underreported their 2012 sales figures. About "half the dealers" out of the 151 total outlets gamed the system in order to get incentives for reaching volume objectives, falsely recording about 7,000 more units sold than was actually the case. Instead of 47,140 cars sold in China in 2011, the real number should have been 39,871.
Volvo corporate books a sale once it ships a car to a dealer, so that meant there were 7,000 more cars in inventory than there should have been. To restore the balance, the dealers underreported their 2012 sales while they unloaded those extra cars since, naturally, they couldn't claim the sale again. That made it look like sales declined by 11 percent in 2012, even though they actually increased year-on-year. The adjusted sales number for 2012 totalled 45,896.
Volvo has met with its dealers and told them to stop the deceitful practice. The discrepancies weren't so great that the company plans to restate its historic numbers, but from now on, it apparently plans to occasionally check inventory to make sure the numbers match and that it has a true picture of how individual models are selling.
Sweden's Prince Carl Philip to race for Volvo in STCC
Tue, 04 Dec 2012Prince Carl Philip Bernadotte has it good. He is a member of the Swedish Royal Family, he dates a model and he has been voted by Forbes as one of the "20 Hottest Young Royals." If that were not enough, he is a fairly successful racecar driver. The latter has earned him a spot on the Volvo Polestar racing team for the Swedish Touring Car Championship. The prince will be piloting a race-spec S60 in the 2013 STCC campaign.
Starting in 2008, Prince Carl Philip began competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup, where he placed as high as 11th. In 2010, he finished first in the Porsche GT3 Endurance competition, and most recently, he placed fourth in the 2012 Swedish GT GTB.
As his motorsport career up to this point suggests, the prince is quite serious about racing and the STCC is the next step up. According to Prince Carl Philip, "There is no tougher championship in Sweden and at the same time as I have respect for it, it motivates me greatly."
