1999 Volvo S70 Base Sedan 4-door 2.4l on 2040-cars

Year:1999 Mileage:148270
Location:

Montpelier, Vermont, United States

Montpelier, Vermont, United States

This Volvo sedan has been in our family since purchased new in 1999. Key features:

1. This car has NEVER seen a Vermont winter; it has lived its entire life in Connecticut and was not driven during Connecticut's rare snow events. Therefore...there is no rust...anywhere.

2. The car has been well cared for with oil and filter changes every 3000 miles.

3. It has never been smoked in.

4. Within the last 3 months the throttle body and front brakes were replaced.

5. When I brought it to VT 2 weeks ago I had our local Volvo certified mechanic inspect it and repair and replace any wear or maintenance items that he identified. Therefore, the car has a brand new timing belt, serpentine belt, left front control arm, right front sway bar link, and new front brake hoses. Spark plugs have been replaced and the right axle seal was leaking so the axle and the boot were replaced. The tires were rotated and the front end aligned. Total receipts in the last 3 months: $2700.00

6. I have the carfax report available for review confirming that this car is as presented.

7. Additional items: Interior shows well except for driver's seat that has separated at the seam. Front tires have 50% tread wear remaining, rear 25%. There are a few scrapes and dings as expected for a car of this age. There were two separate incidents early in the car's ownership both of which occurred when the car was parked (another car backed into it while parking); the driver's side rear door was dented and the right rear quarter panel was dented. Both were repaired professionally and are virtually invisible.

8. All accessories operate as installed; AC blows ice cold, all power windows work, radio plays, and cruise control functions. The engine and transmisson perform flawlessly.

This car should give another 150,000 miles of reliable service assuming normal maintenance.

Volvo shows glimpses of new Concept C Coupe ahead of Frankfurt [w/video]

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Volvo has released a short teaser video for a concept car that will be unveiled on August 29 ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show. At first glance, it would appear to be nothing more than a few sketches and some words from Volvo design boss Thomas Ingenlath, but at about the 11-second mark, four images are flashed on the screen revealing the true nature of the video - the Volvo Concept C Coupe.
As Inglenlath suggests in the video, this new concept is designed to help bring more excitement to the brand's lineup, and from what we can tell in these strategically captured shots, the company is definitely on to something. While we don't get too much of look from any one angle, the front reveals what appears to be a concave version of Volvo's signature grille and the side shows off a stylish greenhouse. We have to wonder, do these images confirm the identity of the mystery concept car that's been floating around the Internet this week? In either case, our favorite view is perhaps the rear shot giving us a glimpse of the car's name as well as its flat, wide haunches and C-shaped taillights.
Scroll down to watch the whole video, and if you don't have a trigger-quick mouse finger, don't worry. We made a gallery of screen shots showing the four embedded images.

Volvo opens order books for XC90 First Edition

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

The new Volvo XC90 breaks new ground in any number of ways. It's based on a new modular platform, packs new engines, introduces a new design language and incorporates a whole slew of new safety systems. Even in its sales approach, it takes Volvo into new territory.
In what Volvo calls an industry first, the first 1,927 examples of the new XC90 will be sold online. Those First Edition models, whose production numbers honor the year of the company's founding, will come fully equipped in T6 AWD guise with the twin-charged (but not hybrid) 316-horsepower engine, air suspension, Bowers & Wilkins audio system and 21-inch Inscription alloys, decked out in black with a tan Nappa leather interior, all for $65,900.
As you can see from the online store, ordering has officially begun. Get one while they're hot.

Volvo bringing Chinese-built cars to America beginning next year

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Just because the penetration of the American automotive market by Chinese brands hasn't quite happened yet doesn't mean that Chinese-built cars are far off. According to a new report, we could very soon see long-wheelbase Volvo S60s that were assembled in the People's Republic arriving on US shores.
The report comes from Automotive News China, which cites an anonymous Volvo exec. An official Volvo spokesperson later corroborated ANC's report, although where the original source claimed that we could see the Chinese-built S60L in US dealers at some point in 2015, the company line was that a timeline hadn't been established to begin exports from the world's most populous nation.
According to Volvo, the benefit to exporting from China to the United States rather than from Sweden is the relationship between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan. Overall, it's a less tumultuous issue than the dollar-to-euro situation. By moving vehicles from China to the US, the Chinese-owned company is limiting the degree of risk it's taking with sudden currency swings.
