2006 Volvo V70R AWD Wagon

5 Cylinder high pressure, 300 horsepower twin turbo

6 Speed Manual (RARE)

90,500 Miles

 Titanium Grey Metallic with Beige Leather Seats

I have owned this car since May of 2007.  The original owner had knee surgery and couldn’t drive a stick any longer so it ended up back at Boston Volvo from where I purchased it.  I have all records and all receipts including synthetic oil changes every 5K.  Kids driving and off to college is making us change up our car mix, so I am reluctantly putting this up for sale.

This car is loaded!  In addition to all of the usual R features, this has:

-        A complete extra set of R 17 Pegs with General Altimax Arctic’s snows (for you Swede-0-philes, General bought from Gislaved and these in fact are a copy of the discontinued Gislaved Nordfrost 3.

-        Summer shoes are Kumho Ecsta AST’s  on R 18 Pegs   (This originally came with low profiles but the roads around here are just not conducive to that kind of tire, so I went a bit higher on the sidewalls. Both set rub slightly when pulling a full U turn as a result – pretty common for R’s)

-        A factory upgraded sound system with a  massive sub-woofer where the 3rd row seat would go, 10 CD changer in back and ipod adapter up front

-        Integrated Bluetooth for phone pairing

-         Pop up navigation in dash and slightly tinted windows. 

-        Volvo cross bar roof racks – never used.

-        This car is straight stock and has had no modifications. 

In the interest of full disclosure here are a few small items that keep me from saying that this is in “perfect” condition:

-        This car has never been in an accident or collision.  I did, however, run over a truck tire retread that was in the highway and it whacked right under the front bumper.  The mounts to the radiator, intercooler and fan assembly were all damaged.  Insurance picked all of this up so all of those parts are new (about 14 months ago).  There was no other damage and no issues since.

-        I had replaced the upper engine mount last summer.  As the old one was loose, the engine was moving more than it should have and the mounting bracket to the air intake pipe that runs over the top of the engine had cracked. The (plastic) pipe has a fiberglass patch on the bracket and functions perfectly fine. You could order a new one for around $280, but there’s nothing wrong with it as it.

-        The fuel door does not immediately lock/latch when you shut it.  Once you start the car after filling, the electric lock engages and its fine from there on.  I have a matching (painted) door that will go with the car.  It hasn’t bothered me that much so I have not replaced it.

-        All 8 Pegs (rims) have some curb rash.  (wife!).  You can see these in the pictures. The Kumho’s have a few surface tears to accompany the curb rash, but nothing major.

-        Leather could use a really good cleaning and reconditioning – no rips or tears, but this has been a kid and dog hauler.

-        There is one small (quarter size) rough patch of paint (I’ve taken a picture of it) on the front end.  No rust and I think it must have been a stone ding.  It’s covered with touch up paint.  Otherwise the body and paint is in very good shape. 

-        Oh, and as I was washing the car this weekend to take some pictures, my water-droplet obsessed border collie left bite marks on the left rear mud flap.  I have already ordered a set from IPD.  If I have time I’ll replace the left one – in any case it will come with new rear mud flaps.

Other good things:

-        Weather Tech rubber mats were used year round from Day 1, so the carpets are all in really good shape.  The rear cargo area has always had both a vinyl liner and the plastic tray, so I don’t think that carpet has ever even seen daylight.

-        Brakes were done about a year ago – maybe 10K, so plenty left on them

-        As I mentioned above, I have all receipts for oil changes and all other maintenance. 

-        I sprung for a lifetime air filter

-        New set of plugs last fall

-        Just replaced tail gate struts

-     New battery in March

Volvo Concept Coupe is a long-legged Swedish GT [w/video]

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

They may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the marque, but Volvo has a long and surprisingly lustrous lineage of coupes in its stable, from the P1800 to the 142 to the Bertone 262C to the 780 Bertone and the recently departed C70. Few of those two-doors have stood the test of time the way the voluptuous P1800 has, a fact the company's designers are apparently keenly aware of. It is that exact model that Volvo says they've drawn upon for this new Concept Coupe, and while the showcar bears little resemblance to the smaller P1800 that inspired it, both cars have a visual grace and presence that has often eluded the brand's grasp.
While not completely ripping up the design language established by the 2001 S60 in 2000, the Coupe Concept is arguably the most radical design statement we've seen from Volvo in well over a decade. Gone is the tone set by the drop-shoulder hood, and in its place is a more flowing, organic look, with the generous proportions of a grand tourer. The concept is a particularly nice piece of work, from its new T-shaped daytime running lamps to its pronounced rear fenders that subtly echo those of the P1800. Interestingly, Volvo informs that the first production model to benefit from this new aesthetic will be the next-generation XC90 crossover - and judging by the teasers we recently saw, this language looks like it'll translate nicely to the CUV's larger shape.
The Concept Coupe is powered by a through-the-road plug-in hybrid architecture composed of a twincharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder powering the front wheels and an electric motor servicing the rears. All-in, Volvo says the system is good for 400 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque.

2014 Volvo XC60 scooped before launch

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

A Chinese automotive site has snagged the first spy shots of the updated Volvo XC60, completely uncovered. While the overall profile of the vehicle remains intact, the headlights are heavily revised. Gone are the two-piece units, which featured the separate light strip between the main cluster and the grille. In place now are larger lenses, somewhat reminiscent of those found on the S60 sedan. Also updated is the grille, which gets a little wider to meet the new headlights. The grille receives more chrome, while the lower front fascia has been revised with wider openings. A pair of LED fog lights are pushed way out to the corners.
Out back, the license plate holder gets a bold chrome strip above it, and the recessed exhaust is replaced with chromed, dual exhaust outlets that have been integrated into the bottom of the rear bumper.
Inside, the instrument panel has been revised, with a large, centrally mounted speedo, featuring a digital display in the center. According to reports, this is a similar setup to that of the new V40. As such, it appears that the changes are thoughtful efforts to move the XC60 forward by incorporating the most current Volvo design elements.

Volvo updates Inscription packages for 2015 XC60, S80

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

Volvo is improving the luxury offered by the XC60 and S80 with upgrades to both models' Inscription packages for 2015. It is also making all of its models (other than the soon-to-be-replaced XC90) available with its new Drive-E engine family and Sensus infotainment system.
The Inscription package was previously available on both the XC60 and S80, but new upgrades include Sovereign Hide leather throughout their interiors, including on their instrument panels, seatbacks, center armrests and headrests. Inscription also adds wood inlaid trim and new floor mats. On the outside, the package is offered in Crystal White Pearl, Electric Silver and - exclusively for the S80 - Ember Black. The XC60 comes with 20-inch, ten-spoke wheels, and the S80 receives 19-inch wheels of the same design.
As part of its sponsorship of a yacht race, Volvo is also bringing the XC60 Ocean Race Edition to the US. Buyers will get their choice of black or blonde leather seats with orange stitching, a map of the race route on the rear load cover and the event's logo around the car.
