Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"AS IS! Engine failure. Dead battery. In December, the mileage was approximately 180,000. Uncertain exactly how much since the vehicle was not driven since January. Exterior in decent shape. It could use a good car wash. Interior is in very good shape considering the age and milage. Mechanically all else was fine including the transmission which never gave any issues for me."

My Volvo XC70 had an engine heart attack and slipped into a coma over the winter.  A self anointed M.D. (A Motor Doctor hanging out at in one of the long lines at Auto Zone) abandoned her on the operating table while performing a routine timing belt replacement.  After a couple of days of neglecting curiosity, I decided to turn over the engine myself with wishful thinking.  It was a rough start.  I heard a rapid series of  clicks and knocks so, I immediately turned her off.  Too late!  The damage was done.  I soon found another willing M.D. (at Auto Zone of course) and he determined that her valve stems were bent. (Almost sounds like a feminine issue). As she lay there motionless in my make shift ICU section of my drive way, the "expert" gave me a quote.  Not feasible for me.  As her next of kin, I decided right then and there to put her down.  But not without enlisting your aid!


I need her moved ASAP either by a gurney or a tow of your choice.  From there, feel free to check her into an auto clinic of your choice and revive her as a project.  If not, put her on a hydraulic slab at the auto morgue and dissect her as a mechanical organ donor.  If neither suits your needs, by all means, please find her a decent plot and send her off with a 21 gun salute.
Uncle Sam might appreciate and reward your efforts for it!

Interior:
The leather seats are slightly worn as expected over time.  However, there are no loose seams and/or tears in the firm yet supple leather.   All cabin buttons, levers, locks and lights were in working order before tragedy befell her.

Exterior:
She can use a good wash!

Performance:
Keep in mind that the battery is dead and I can only provide an approximation on the mileage.  The odometer might have + or - 3000 on the 185,000 miles listed.
Front and Rear brakes done a year ago.  The ignition always fired up quickly.  The car drove straight.  AC was cold.  Heat worked.  Wipers worked.  No check engine lights or related problems to report in the past. The suspension was a glide, the handling was tight, the shifting was flawless.

Me:
I am not a dealer.  I am a private seller with 100% FB.  I attempt to list as accurately as possible.  However, I am human and am therefore prone to unintentional oversight and errors.  Furthermore, I do not claim nor do I imply to know the full history of the vehicle as I have only owned it for approximately 4 years.  Never had any issues until her mechanical health was compromised by an unlicensed M.D. I found standing bored in a long, long line at Auto Zone.

You:
Before you take my word(s) or engage in the gears of commerce, you have the right to inspect the vehicle before the end of the auction.

The XC70:
Is selling AS IS in all its glory.

Volvo to finally replace XC90 in 2014

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

There's not a whole lot of life left in the current Volvo XC90, but it seems a replacement is on the way. According to What Car?, Volvo will launch its new flagship crossover sometime in 2014, riding on an all new platform that will eventually underpin several models in the company's range.
According to Volvo boss Hakan Samuelsson, this new architecture will eventually underpin the next-generation S60, V70, S80 and XC60, all of which will be getting mid-cycle enhancements over the next year. In speaking to What Car?, Samuelsson said that Volvo would not try to follow the paths set by BMW and Mercedes-Benz, instead focusing on "safety, elegant design and user-friendly functionality" for its next round of new cars.
The new XC90 will remain a seven-passenger vehicle and will be powered by a range of four-cylinder engines. Volvo will soon be dropping the five- and six-cylinder powertrains from its lineup.

Volvo details upcoming XC90's new scalable platform

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

In two weeks' time, we'll be boarding a flight for Stockholm for the live reveal of the new Volvo XC90. But before we do, Volvo has revealed another round of salient details regarding not only its new crossover, but a whole range of new vehicles to share its architecture.
That platform is called Scalable Product Architecture, and it follows the latest industry trend towards modular platforms. The product of four years' development, the new platform uses high-strength boron steel to optimize weight and rigidity. The scalable architecture, set to underpin the next-generation S60, V60, XC60, S80 and anything larger, offers designers more flexibility in terms of proportions. It can be adapted to a wide range of vehicles of different shapes and sizes, designed from the get-go to incorporate a range of powertrains (including the XC90's new twin-charged hybrid system) and all the latest safety technologies you'd expect from a Volvo.
The XC90, Volvo has revealed, will also offer increased interior flexibility, with movable second and third rows to optimize cargo space and legroom as needed. That third row is designed to accommodate children (or small adults) up to five-foot-seven. Meanwhile the image inset above gives us our first glimpse at the new XC90's styling, with T-shaped running lights inspired by Thor's hammer.

Volvo to test 100 self-driving cars on Swedish roads [w/video]

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Autonomous vehicles are increasingly being tested on public roads around the globe, including Nissan in Japan and Google here in the US, and now Volvo is preparing to test its own self-driving cars on the streets of Sweden. In conjunction with the state government, Volvo's Drive Me project kicks off next year, starting with the development of customer research and infrastructure technology before setting 100 self-driving cars loose on the streets of Gothenburg in 2017.
These 100 cars will be in the hands of customers, and the tests will help Volvo and the Swedish government track varying aspects of self-driving cars including economic benefits, consumer confidence, traffic flow and passenger safety. The technology being developed by Volvo uses not only on-board radar and sensors but also map data gathered from the cloud, and it controls all driving systems including the brakes, throttle and steering. Drivers can engage and disengage the car's autonomous drive mode by pushing a button on the steering wheel, and the technology will also allow for a self-parking feature.
While the cars shown in this demo are S60 models, the test vehicles will be based on Volvo's upcoming Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), which underpins future models like the next-gen Volvo XC90. Scroll down for a video and press release marking the announcement.
