2005 Volvo S60R AWD

We are pleased to present this incredibly nice Volvo S60R AWD. These S60Rs are becoming quite difficult to find in nice condition. These are very special cars, and are serious performance machines. In addition to the 300hp engine, the R models have many other upgrades including a lower "FourC" suspension system. FourC stands for "Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept", and allows you to adjust the suspenion to three ride settings. The suspension monitors the road's service several hundred times per second, and adjusts the dampers to their optimal settings for the road's surface. The Rs also have nice interior touches like blue watch dial gauges, leather wrapped airbag and gauge visor with blue stitching, and fully leather seats made of a higher quality leather than standard S60s. The S60Rs also have huge brembo brakes at all 4 corners which sit under 17" Pegasus wheels. You also get a more aggressive front bumper, a rear bumper with vents in the lower skirt, and exclusive bixenon headlamps with silver bezels. This is not an auction car. We bought this car directly from a Volvo enthusiast who moved into a major metro area (DC) and no longer had the need or use for a vehicle. In fact, this is a southern car, and its previous owner lives in Virginia. He drove it up to Pennsylvania to sell it to us. The interior of this S60 is in very, very good condition.  In fact, it looks nearly new! It has Gobi (tan) full leather R-sport heated seats with beautiful brushed aluminum accents on the dash and door panels. The car has the "premium sound" Alpine audio system upgrade which sounds excellent and features RDS (Radio Data System). It also has an external amp, as well as premium speakers, and a Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound decoder. It also has the fairly rare DVD-based navigation system which is integrated into the top of the dashboard. When you start the car, it extends up out of the dash, and can be retracted into the dash when not in use. It works properly. It also has a power moonroof. The previous owner of this car was definitely a non-smoker. These cars don't even come with cigarette lighters, just power outlets. The inside of the car smells like leather. This Volvo has dual front airbags, as well as front side airbags, and curtain airbags for the front and rear seats. It also features rain sensitive windshield wipers, along with heated mirrors and headlight wash and wipe, along with water repelling hydrophobic side window glass, which are part of the climate package. The car also has very nice EVOLVE/ELEVATE carpet floor mats which are finished in dark blue with tan bindings. These do a wonderful job of tying the exterior color to the interior of the car. A fantastic addition that shows that the previous owner must have had excellent taste. The exterior of this S60 is in quite nice condition, and Magic Blue in color. There are some light scratches on the car as you'd associate with standard use, and there are some tree sap spots on the hood. Most of this stuff is pretty minor and it was hard to get it to show up in the photographs. The only major flaw is a dent in the left rear quarter panel just above the bumper. If this is bothresome to you, we can easily have it fixed. Please just make note of it with your offer on the car. We elected to not have it fixed as some customers would rather have the car at a less expensive price. So, it's your choice. There is also a very small ding in the right front fender which is visible in the pics. Otherwise, the car is gorgeous. The 17 inch  "Pegasus" alloy wheels are very desireable and are regarded as one of the most attractive Volvo wheels ever made. The also feature the R logo stamped into one of the five flat spokes on each wheel, which is a very nice touch. This R also has park distance control which is a nice feature for reversing into tight spaces or for parallel parking. There are four sonar sensors in the rear bumper, and as you back closer to an object or another vehicle, a beeping sound will be played through the audio system's speakers. As you get closer, the beeps will increase in frequency. The tires are all matching Continentals with excellent tread remaining. The brembo brakes are in  good shape and the car stops as it should. The legendary 2.5 Liter low pressure turbocharged 300+ hp 5 cylinder engine runs flawlessly and is very smooth. The 5 Speed Geartronic/Automatic transmission is also excellent. The owners manual set is included and is in an exclusive Atacama R cover. We are a BOSCH Car Service certified european car service center, and the car has undergone a full multi-point check-in inspection. At that point, we performed any service or repair that the car would have needed to be in proper condition. If you'd like to know exactly what we did to the car, please don't hesitate to give us an email. This R recently passed Pennsylvania's very strict state safety and emissions inspections. There are some service records included on the carfax, and the previous owner provided us with a file folder containing thousands of dollars in service which has been completed in the last year or so. The timing belt service was completed within the last year.

This car includes a 3 Month 4500 Mile powertrain warranty at no additional charge. The warranty can be used at any repair shop in the United States, no matter where you live. This warranty covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. This is in place in order to provide peace of mind when purchasing a car via the internet. Additionally, this warranty can be adjusted to cover nearly every component on the car, and can be extended up to four years and unlimited mileage. Contact us for details on this affordable upgrade in coverage.

Since you're bidding, or making an offer, on a car which you may have not seen in person, it is important that a level of trust be established between you, our customer, and us, the dealership. This is why we post between 30 and 60 high-resolution images of every car we sell on ebay. We pride ourselves in having the most detailed, highest resolution images on ebay, and we use the finest photography equipment in order to catch even the smallest details of the cars that we sell. In addition, the description above provides a comprehensive walk-around of the car including the interior, exterior, and mechanical systems. We even will fill you in on any previous maintenance that we've performed. Regardless, all cars that we sell have been thoroughly checked for safety by our in-house master technician. In addition, we road-test every car we sell very extensively before offering it. If there are any issues with the car that are present, they will be mentioned in the auction. Because we road test the cars extensively, it is possible that the car may have more miles on it than when the auction was listed. We always encourage you to come check out the car in person before bidding or making an offer. If you are too far away to do this, there are several inspection services that can review the car, or we can take the car to a local garage of your choice for a pre-purchase inspection.
         
Please note that a $250 deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction.  This deposit can be made by contacting us directly and can be paid by credit or debit card over the phone. This allows us to speak with you person-to-person which allows us to fill you in on the process and fine details of the transaction, as well as lets you know that we are real people who are committed to making the process of purchasing your new car as easy and painless as possible. Buying a car should be fun and exciting, not a chore. The balance is due within 7 days via Certified Check, Money Order, or bank wire transfer.  We can also accept credit cards and personal checks for full payment with prior authorization. Simply contact us before bidding or making your offer to let us know that you plan on paying with one of these methods so that we can let you know about additional terms that apply.

Non-paying buyers will be reported to ebay.  We charge a $255 dealer services fee for all transactions. This fee covers any           additional paperwork service, overnighting of paperwork, and dealer prep.  We can provide a temporary cardboard plate for out of state customers at no charge. Pennsylvania residents will need to pay sales tax between 6% and 7% depending upon your county of residence. There are also Pennsylvania fees for the registration, title, and license plate (unless you bring your own plate to transfer).
         
Inexpensive used cars are not at all the same as a brand new car, or certified pre-owned vehicle.  They are in no way flawless, or perfect. As noted above, we try our absolute best to disclose any issues which may be present on the car, however a car's condition is somewhat subjective and opinion based. Where door ding may be considered perfectly acceptable on a 10 year old car, it would never be acceptible on a car which is brand new.  Also, on higher-mileage used cars, it is important to remember that virtually any mechanical or non-mechanical component can fail at any time.  We cannot predict what components will fail in the future, or when they will fail.  This is simply the nature of older higher mileage used vehicles.  The best that we can do is assure that the car is operating properly at the time of purchase. This car is sold as-is, and we cannot be held responsible for any mechanical or non-mechanical failure.  Additionally, because we do not know the inspection requirements of other states, we cannot guarantee that this vehicle will pass any out-of-state inspections.
