2003 Volvo V70 2.4t Wagon 4-door 2.4l on 2040-cars
Columbia, South Carolina, United States
Excellent condition for age. This is a very safe,reliable and beautiful Volvo. This is our 3rd Volvo and have enjoyed all of them I am the 2nd owner. When I bought it a few years ago I did all the necessary and recommended service. (100,000) mile service. Complete tune up,replaced radiator and thermostat, changed timing belt and did a transmission service. In the last few months I replaced a cv axle and put 4 brand new tires on. These tires are quiet and handle great. Just changed the oil and filter so the new owner won't have to. From 10 feet out the car looks brand new. Upon closer inspection you will still be impressed. Only minor scuffs and abrasions that you would expect a 10 year old car to have. It has the original paint. Car fax and title are clean, no accidents. The interior doesn't have have any rips or tears. Normal wear and tear. Many of the older Volvos available have many cosmetic and mechanical issues. I would say this car is above average for the year model. My wife drove the car everyday. I have 2 keys, 2 keyless entry remotes and the original owners Manuel and booklet. She bought a Lexus this time so it's time to sell this car. In interest of full disclosure and to be as fair as possible for bidders that are not local and can't see or drive the car before bidding: when I first bought the car around 30 or 40 thousand miles ago I had certified Volvo technicians do all of the maintience. I questioned how the transmission shifted. It has never slipped, it just seemed to me like it wasn't down shifting as smooth as I expected. They told me it was normal for the Volvo's. I was paranoid so I had it serviced anyway. They said the turbo gives it that extra punch on acceleration and the torque converters aren't as smooth as the even older Volvo wagons. I use a 8 dollar transmission conditioner a couple of times a year and it makes it as smooth as I think it's supposed to be. This has been a great car. Looks great, I get compliments all the time. I have been a proud owner, and hate to get rid of it but my wife was ready for something different. We made several long distance trips in this car, and wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. I am going to market the car locally for $6500. I would like to sell it in the next week so I am offering the car at no reserve. Thanks for bidding. |

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).

Volvo Polestar reveals new V8 Supercars engine
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Volvo may be better known for turbo fives and inline fours, but in 2005 it launched the XC90 with a new eight-cylinder engine built for it by Yamaha. Fast forward to this past June when Volvo announced its intention to enter Australia's V8 Supercars series, where it would compete with the likes of Ford, Holden, Nissan and Mercedes-AMG. This is the engine with which it intends to do so.
Revealed this weekend at the Sydney 500, this competition-spec powerplant is based on the same B8444S that powered the XC90 and S80 (not to mention the Noble M600), but tuned for racing duty to be shoehorned into the new S60 touring car. The 60-degree aluminum block has been bored out from 4.4 liters to 5.0, its compression ratio boosted to 10:1, modified to run on E85 bio-ethanol and its redline increased to 7500 rpm. Volvo also promises a unique engine note from its new racers.
While Volvo and its racing partner Polestar haven't released official output numbers, regulations call for outputs between 620 and 650 horsepower - in any event, a whole lot more than the 311 hp it produces in stock form. (Noble managed to squeeze that much out of the same block, but that required twin turbochargers while this unit remains naturally aspirated.) Scope out the details in the press release below and the photos from the reveal in the gallery above.
Volvo returns to profitability
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Ford sold Volvo to Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Limited in 2010. Just two years later, Geely announced an $11-billion investment in the Swedish carmaker, its charismatic fugleman Li Shifu saying, "We want to revive Volvo and give the brand its strength back." Two years later, after having introduced the Concept XC Coupe at the Detroit Auto Show this week, Volvo CEO Håkan Samuelsson (above, second from right) declared the company profitable again after a solid 2013 and predicted a positive 2014.
Intending to break even on operating profit in 2013, Volvo exceeded expectations and landed on the plus side due to a mix of factors. US sales declined 10.1 percent for the year to 61,233, that number still making us Volvo's largest market, but Chinese sales were up nearly 46 percent to 61,146 units, and even its home market saw a bump of 0.8 percent; total sales for the year were 427,840, a margin of 1.4-percent over the previous year. Volvo was able to do more with the tiny gain and reverse its half-year operating loss because of a global cost restructuring and thorough revamp of its Chinese distribution network. An announcement of 2013's financial results will come in March.
Bullishness on 2014 comes from the company's intention to focus on its two biggest markets with new models, new technology and more spending. The first product of an independent Volvo, the new XC90, will be revealed later this year on the new SPA architecture. On top of the Sensus Connect infotainment system, Volvo will add driver-aid systems like adaptive cruise control with steer assist and night-time pedestrian detection. It also has a new North American CEO and will spend more on marketing and communications here. In China it will begin to feel more effect from the two Chinese factories opened last year - it has three in the country - and, if need be, can take advantage of more advantageous exchange rates by exporting from China instead of the US. Said Samuelsson of what he expects in the US in 2014, "we will outperform the market."
