1998 Volvo V70 Base Wagon 4-door 2.4l - No Reserve on 2040-cars
Darien, Connecticut, United States
|
Great car for your graduating college or high school student. Well maintained and nice looking, no dash lights on and never been in an accident. We have owned this car for 8 years and is a daily driver (we are the 3rd owner and we bought it from the 2nd owner because they were moving overseas). Selling it because we needed an all wheel drive vehicle to get to the mountains to ski. Paint job is in real nice shape with very minor dings and scrapes (chips and scrapes on bumpers -- look at picture 2 and 4). Inside is clean (some of the seams on the seat were re-stitched where separated -- see pictures 6-9). Everything works as it should but there are a few minor issues (rear wiper does not work (fuse?), power mirrors have to be manually moved (fuse?), needs tires, small chip in front windshield at bottom (professionally sealed), plastic molding along side in back is cracked and covered with tape -- size of 3" round, radio will switch channels sometime when you hit a bump (look at picture 5 to the left under side window), and after the car sits for a while you need to wait a few seconds with your foot on the brake to move the shifter out of park). I have tried to be as detailed as possible with the description and is available to come see for yourself or if you want a close up picture of anything on the car let me know and I will try to take more pictures and post them. I live along the New Haven Metro North and Amtrack line in lower Fairfield CT making it easy to come see and pick up the car. I have listed the car locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if sold. |

Volvo promises new direct-injected diesels, 8-speed auto
Tue, 09 Apr 2013As a part of eliminating its dependence on Ford platforms and powertrains, Volvo has previously announced information about its Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) and Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA), but now we're finally getting some details about what will power some of the Swedish automaker's next-generation products.
The biggest key to VEA on the diesel engines is a new technology Volvo calls i-ART. This system uses unique injectors at each cylinder capable of monitoring fuel pressure and adjusting accordingly to maximize fuel economy and performance and reduce emissions. Looking ahead, Volvo says its four-cylinder engines will be able to offer the power of a six-cylinder and eventually, mixed with some sort of electrification, will be able to rival the performance of a V8 and "turn V8s into dinosaurs."
More details about the new diesel injection technology is posted in the press release below.
Volvo V60 Polestar speeds into view
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Send us photos of a new wagon out testing, and you've got our attention. Send us photos of a fast wagon lapping the Nürburgring and, well, we're just as giddy as can be. Our spy shooters just blessed our inbox with some fresh shots of Volvo's new V60 wagon out testing in Polestar guise, sporting the same Rebel Blue paint job as the thunder-from-Down-Under limited-edition S60 Polestar, as well as an aggressive front fascia, huge wheels, Brembo brakes, a rear diffuser panel and a roof spoiler. Hello there, hot stuff.
Like its sedan counterpart, the V60 Polestar is expected to use a boosted version of Volvo's 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, pumping out something like 350 horsepower. To keep everything in check, that force will almost certainly be sent to the ground via all-wheel drive.
It's unclear if Volvo will sell the V60 Polestar as a limited-edition affair for our friends in Australia, or if this longroof hot-hauler will be offered in other markets this time. After all, Volvo is bringing the V60 over to American soil early next year, so consider our fingers - and toes - crossed.
Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.
