Thanks for stopping by to take a closer look at this sterling Volvo S70 Four Door Sedan. I'm listing it for my friend and neighbor Greg who has treated it with the utmost care since he drove it new from the dealership 13 years ago. Metallic Nautical Blue Paint, an extra-cost color, still glistens and stands up to close inspection. No accidents, no rust, EVER! and not a '20-footer.' As result of his significant commute, Greg logged some 176 thousand - mostly freeway - miles. But because Greg was usually the only one in the smoke free car, the supple leather seats don't reflect its age. And if the mileage reading wasn't visible, the driver would think he was behind the wheel of a fairly new car. Even the Michelin tires have lots of wear remaining, and the care comes with its original window sticker showing the car's price of $31,575. I've been in and around cars as a hobby since I bought my first 1940 Chevrolet in 1952 and typically evaluate 'drivers' on a cost per mile basis. Considering you can buy this car for less than a lease vehicle's down payment, you can probably expect your next trouble-free 50,000 miles to cost about 5 cents a mile. Taking a look at other eBay offerings for similar Volvos will show good running ones approaching 250,000 miles. A new $35,000 car, for instance, will depreciate about $10,000 the first year. If you drive it 10,000 miles, cost is a dollar a mile. Makes 5 cents sound like a major transportation bargain. In addition to looking good, the car is currently registered and insured, has been regularly maintained by Signal Hill Foreign Auto Service (Signal Hill, CA) for the last three years and runs, shifts, rides and handles remarkably well, the latter assisted by its premium Michelin tires. Here's my overall assessment: For less than $3K, you get a very comfortable, safe, luxury-oriented vehicle that seats five with ease, is fuel efficient with its 5-speed adaptive transmission and presents extremely well. And there are three additional bonuses: a working electric sunroof to enjoy the evening air, a cold blowing air conditioning system for those hot days and cruise control for those long drives. So often I read eBay ads that say, "air condition blowing cool and was working, but 'just needs recharging'." What that typically means is that the compressor is shot and that a replacement will cost $1500 or more. Greg is offering this one with a low reserve (less than that lease car down payment). He's expecting the successful bidder to submit a $500 PayPal deposit within 48 hours of auction close and the remainder by cash or check, noting the car will be released when the check clears. If the buyer intends to ship the car, Greg will be happy to cooperate with the transportation company selected by the buyer. The car is located just east of Downtown Long Beach. This is a nice car and it's easy to get carried away describing it, so here's a caveat: To insure this car meets your expectations, personally inspect or have it inspected by a third party before you place a bid. Here's another: If you're new to eBay or outside the Continental US, contact me before bidding. Your questions and comments are encouraged and will be promply answered. After 13 years and 177K miles here are some additional things to consider about the car: 1)Two keys, no remote; 2) Gasoline access door closes but does not latch; 3) Radio on/off switch and gear-shift release sometimes require mild coaxing; 4) front passenger window works from pass side, but only goes up from driver's side; 5) left headlamp lens cracked years ago, but hasn't warranted replacing. Thanks for taking the time to read down this far. Rest assured we will appreciate your bids because this car is FOR SALE! |

Volvo's product road map includes five EVs and two PHEVs
Mon, Feb 28 2022Volvo recently hosted a gathering in Miami for North and South American retailers. A few attendees, perhaps proud of what Volvo had to say, shared some details on the proceedings with Automotive News. Volvo's pledge to become an all-EV brand by 2030 will commence with five new electric vehicles and two plug-in hybrids in the coming years. First up is a full-sized, three-row crossover said to get its vibe from the Concept Recharge. We figure this will be the long-rumored and occasionally canceled XC100, but that's only an educated guess. We've seen no spy shots of such a vehicle yet, but AN reports sales aspirations for the full-sizer are about 20,000 units for next year. If that's the case, something should appear soon. Around two years after the potential XC100 comes an EV codenamed V546 that AN reported on earlier this month. Said to slot in between the 185-inch-long XC60 and 195-inch-long XC90, this tweener could be about the length of the 189-inch Ford Edge. The sources claim it will ride on a new electric platform, which could be the SPA2 bones that will support the coming electric XC90 and that the Concept Recharge electric crossover study (pictured) sits on. This one goes into production in the U.S., at Volvos' Ridgeville, South Carolina plant, and in China. The plan is to sell 100,000 units annually. At some point, the XC60 small midsize crossover gets a battery-electric variant. The fourth EV will be a dinky silent runner that slides in under the XC40 Recharge. Referred to in the past as the XC10, XC20 and XC30, previous reportage claims this will ride on the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) sourced from parent company Geely. The fifth EV was only mentioned as being a sedan, which is another mysterious entry. The S90 and XC90 are getting new PHEV generations, the crossover still expected to inaugurate proper names to the Swedish automaker's lineup. Volvo's planning a hiring spree for the South Carolina plant that only makes the S60 sedan at the moment. One of the new EV crossovers will start down lines there later this year, along with Polestar's middleweight performance crossover, then the potential XC100 (or whatever its proper name is) begins assembly there in 2023. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Translogic 189: 2015 LA Auto Show
Tue, Nov 24 2015The LA Auto Show has become known for its green cars and concepts, and 2015 was no exception. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley gets all the details on BMW's 330e plug-in hybrid straight from BMW President of North America Ludwig Willisch. Then we get up-to-date on Honda's latest FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel cell car. We round out our tour with a stop at the Elio Motors booth for a look at their updated, three-wheel P5 concept and a chat with CEO Paul Elio. But first, we jump in a time machine at the Volvo booth to discuss Concept 26, an interpretation of how car interiors might evolve in the era of self-driving cars. "The reason why we talked about it as a time machine [is] because, really, Concept 26 is giving you back something that is so precious," explained Volvo senior director of design Tisha Johnson. "We're letting you delegate driving to the car, so that you can then have that time to yourself." Click here to learn more about our host, Jonathon Buckley.
