hi and thnx for looking. I always knew Volvos were cool cars, made in Belgium OR Sweden, they are safe and reliable. I remember 240's rocked and 740-850's ruled. a friend or two had them in high school. my first Volvo was a V70 wagon (1998) and I loved it even after 203k miles ~!~ but, I just now discovered how really great these cars are in the AWD XC version. this car runs and drives simply great. nice and comfy, solid, good on gas, predictable and with the confidence of all wheel drive handling.
this V70 XC is just getting going. with lo-miles for the year, great service history, comes from a good home and real traditional Volvo build. but, they are not without fault and this is an older car. aside from the great ride, drive and looks... I was surprised to see an oil spot under the car, and it was down about a half quart of oil. parked at my home, and as photographed, I was concerned and brought it to my mechanic (actually formerly called Swedish Motorworks, Fairfield, CT. I also had three SAABs in the last 10 years).
Long story short, the oil leak was coming from a front right cam seal which means pretty much a big job. on his advice, we replaced the timing belt (had oil on it), water pump (didn't want to revisit this later) and what is called a cam positioning pulley (oil pressure activated) on the right side, along with oil and filter, gaskets, the cam shaft seal and more !! parts and labor $1432.21. yes, I maybe could have saved $200 here or there, but I go here a lot and they warranty the work. OK, that's done.
I am looking to get back some of my repair costs and some of the value of a really great Volvo wagon that can serve the next person for another 90,000 miles. and this car will likely do it. nice body and paint, clean interior, AWD, full power, proper gauges, decent tires, great brakes, comfortable, quiet exhaust, battery, electric, horn, wipers, lights, gauges wheels, factory stereo, handles super with great suspension and plenty of ability to move you around town or blast down the highway. a pleasure to drive and be seen in ~!~.
yes, there is a bump and scuff or two. there are scratches in the paint on both sides along the doors (hard to photo) and, sure, you could spend some money on a detail. but, I just did all the heavy lifting and you get to drive it home at a low eBay price. bid and buy with confidence... please feel free to email or call. better yet, just stop by or send a friend, take it for a drive or drive it home.

Volvo Concept Estate hauls in great expectations [w/videos]
Wed, 05 Mar 2014You're looking at the third leg of Volvo's award-winning concept trilogy, the Concept Estate. Despite its banal name, this sweeping longroof showcar has our attention like few other cars at the Geneva Motor Show.
It's not just that we have a weakness for shooting brakes or Volvo's take on the genre in particular (we can see some P1800ES in this design). We just think this car is exceptionally well surfaced, with a fantastic stance and the sort of clean lines that are singularly appropriate of a Scandinavian design. We also appreciate the details that are expected to inform future production models, including the T-shaped headlamps, strong rear shoulders and floating grille mount. In fact, the vast majority of the Concept Estate's design idiom is expected to make it to showrooms in future models, starting with the long-overdue, second-generation XC90 crossover.
We hope - but don't expect - that attitude carries over to the interior, which has stunning, white leather, floating clamshell seats backed in plaid. If there's one cabin feature that's expected to make it to production, it's a derivative of the car's new infotainment system, which features a massive touchscreen with tablet-like gesture controls.
Tony Nicolosi confirmed as Volvo's North American CEO
Tue, 14 Jan 2014This past October, John Maloney stepped down from his post as CEO at Volvo Cars North America. In his place, the Swedish automaker tentatively promoted Tony Nicolosi, who had until then served as head of Volvo Car Financial Services. The appointment was reportedly temporary, giving Nicolosi the title of acting CEO. But according to Automotive News, his position has now been confirmed for the long run.
Although Volvo has yet to announce a new director for its financial arm, Nicolosi says they have found the right person and will announce sometime between now and the National Automobile Dealers Association convention, set to take place later this month in New Orleans.
Last month, Volvo also announced that its global communications chief Bodil Eriksson is moving from the home office in Gothenburg to the North American office in Rockleigh, New Jersey. Anders Kärrberg has been promoted from the government affairs post to take Eriksson's place.
Volvo S60 Polestar Concept finally spotted in the flesh
Wed, 28 Nov 2012The Volvo S60 Polestar Concept has graced the pages of Autoblog numerous times in recent memory, but we've never actually seen it in person. That is, until now.
We caught up with the blazing blue sedan sitting on the floor of the LA Auto Show, and it looks even better up close. As a refresher, the four-door is fitted with a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine (3.0-liter) generating an impressive 508 horsepower. Its close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox sends power to all four wheels through a fourth-generation Haldex XWD system. With a decent driver behind the steering wheel, the Polestar can crack the 60 mph benchmark in about 3.7 seconds as it rushes towards a top speed in excess of 186 mph.
Volvo has said that this Polestar-modified S60 was built for a specific client who paid upwards of $300,000 for the pleasure of owning it. But as they say, if there is market demand for more...
