Up For Sale is a 2001 Volvo XC-70 with 137,775 miles. I will give you a little history of the car. I purchased the XC-70 back in Oct of 2012 for the sum of $2,680.00 from a so called dealer in Pa. named VP Auto Motor's on EBAY, That is for everyone's information. Let's just say they miss led me on the condition of the vehicle, and having paid for a sizable portion of it up front and being that a EBAY sale is in one sense a contract of purchase I stood behind my end and paid the remaining balance of the purchase. Well with that said I have put another $1,200.00 plus dollars in it to get it Md. inspected and road worthy. The vehicle has new brakes, New Battery, New Fog light fixtures, I also had to do some work to the front end / steering something about the struts and link pins to correct the steering. I have all receipts for repairs that were made. Ok, now for the kicker the vehicle still needs some work even though I have driven it over 3000 mile since putting it on the road. The vehicle as when I purchased it has only one key. The vehicle does need some more loving from a mechanic, the airbag light is on and from what I have been told it could be a sensor or a contact that needs to be cleaned under the front seat. I am only selling it shortly after buying it 3 plus months ago because I have purchased another vehicle for my mother to drive being that is what this one was for. Please feel free to ask questions or come and test drive the Volvo as that the purchase of this vehicle Is a as is purchase. I am trying to be as honest as I can about the condition and don't want to screw anyone by listing a false item such as " VP Auto Motor's ". I am willing to deliver / drive the vehicle for free of charge within 25 miles of my place of residents or willing to deliver the vehicle for $2.00 a mile up to Fifty miles from my door to yours. The car is For Sale locally so reserve the rights to cancel this listing early.

Volvo updates Inscription packages for 2015 XC60, S80
Tue, 01 Apr 2014Volvo 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.
Sweden's Prince Carl Philip to race for Volvo in STCC
Tue, 04 Dec 2012Prince Carl Philip Bernadotte has it good. He is a member of the Swedish Royal Family, he dates a model and he has been voted by Forbes as one of the "20 Hottest Young Royals." If that were not enough, he is a fairly successful racecar driver. The latter has earned him a spot on the Volvo Polestar racing team for the Swedish Touring Car Championship. The prince will be piloting a race-spec S60 in the 2013 STCC campaign.
Starting in 2008, Prince Carl Philip began competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup, where he placed as high as 11th. In 2010, he finished first in the Porsche GT3 Endurance competition, and most recently, he placed fourth in the 2012 Swedish GT GTB.
As his motorsport career up to this point suggests, the prince is quite serious about racing and the STCC is the next step up. According to Prince Carl Philip, "There is no tougher championship in Sweden and at the same time as I have respect for it, it motivates me greatly." You can read more on Prince Carl Philip's upcoming campaign with Polestar in the press release below.
Future Polestar Volvo models could feature diesel, EV tech
Tue, 20 May 2014Volvo's Polestar sub-brand has made the transition nicely from being the company's racing arm to building some seriously cool, Swedish cars. Now that it has a few models under its belt, it plans to grow larger and greener. The next-generation of Polestar-tuned vehicles are rumored to include high-performance hybrid and diesel powertrains.
While it still doesn't have the brand recognition of BMW M or Mercedes-Benz AMG, Polestar is on the growth path. It's representatives recently told Autoblog that its latest, tuned S60 and V60 models "mark the start of an extended production car model range." In addition to that expansion, Volvo has given its performance division a greater responsibility for engineering future vehicles, according to Autocar. It even helped develop the new Drive-E engine, which we quite liked when we took it for a spin in an S60.
Polestar's boss hinted at a hybrid model to Autocar, a move that seems obvious once you think about it. The Drive-E engine was designed from the beginning to accept hybrid layouts. The division's plan is to put and electric motor on the rear axle to both increase torque off the line and provide all-wheel drive. As Drive-E also offers diesel variants, that is in the cards as well for the future, but the company didn't go into much detail. Polestar appears to be the upcoming shooting star of the performance car world.
