Year:1998
Mileage:186000
Location:
Edmond, Oklahoma, United States
|
This sale includes one 1998 Volvo S70 GLT with several great features. Like many other Volvo sedans, this car is a workhorse that's been great around the city and also on road trips year-round. Overall this car looks great and clean from a cosmetic sense -- a potentially good car for a family, student heading to college, or a bachelor who does not mind a few imperfections for a car that runs great. Please see the listings of many features for this car, which has 186,000 miles. Most of the miles I put on this car were during the last 2-3 years, driving from Atlanta to Oklahoma and/or Milwaukee (about 900 miles each stretch). I have not once had any issues during highway driving, usually getting in the 800-900 miles on 2.5 tanks of gas (16 gallon tank). Also gets good mileage and idles smooth and quiet in the city. In December 2013 replaced camshaft seal. Consistently starts, runs like butter since this repair. Replaced the battery in October 2013 (like new with AAA warranty). Radiator replaced in March 2013. WHEELS AND BRAKES: This Volvo S70 has new rear rotors and brake pads (one month ago), new rear tires and rotated (one month ago, driven 1,000 miles), new front brake pads (about a year ago) and new-ish front tires. Oil changes completed about every 4,000 miles (I have records for each, along with complete repair history since 2008). Replaced strut spring seat (left and right) in summer 2013. Left ball joint replaced Aug. 2012. Other ball joint work completed in 2010-11. MUSIC AND OTHER FEATURES: New wiper blades. CD and cassette player with surround sound that turns heads. Huge trunk, with rear seats that fold down and ski-slot in the rear seat arm rest. Gray or tan leather seats and matching Volvo floor mats all around. All of the power functions (windows, locks, mirrors, etc.) work great, though the sun roof has been temperamental in recent weeks (no leaks, and I keep it shut most of the time); radio antenna works though its retracting capability is broken (the motor still works but the up and down does not due to a slightly bent antenna, which picks up radio waves in the middle of nowhere). The passenger side front door does not unlock with the power lock, FYI (I am told this is a fuse issue), but other locks work fine. This car has one key for ignition and doors, and a separate key for the trunk. COSMETIC ISSUES The paint is black and overall is in good to very good shape with "normal" wear and tear for a car of its age (some small scratches from gravel or other cars' doors opened close to this car). As shown in photos, the rear corner of trunk on passenger side has a small (3-4 inch) dent, and the front bumper, which is covered with black plastic coating, has a few cracks as shown (from a car that backed into this car at slow speed). Rear bumper was replaced a few years ago when a car backed into this car as slow speed in parking lot (tore off my rear bumper but was replaced by insurance, I have records of this repair and there was no damage to body of car). I spilled a large iced tea in the driver's floor area and a lot of dirt accumulated in spite of cleaning -- I think a deep cleaning and/or carpet shampoo will resolve this (I just didn't make time yet to try). Car now has recently-replaced double cup holders in center console to prevent future spills. This is a NO SMOKING car (it came only with covers for the cigarette lighters next to gear shifter and in center console of rear seat, so you may charge a phone and run GPS from both lighter plugs). One tiny ding (very small) on windshield on far left side (passenger side). HOW IT RUNS AND LIGHTS THAT COME ON WHEN STARTED: When this car is started, four lights come on (on the dashboard): 1. ABS light 2. Tracks off light 3. Service light (this light consistently goes off after one minute of engine running and car in motion, and 4. Add washer fluid light (the washer fluid reservoir has a crack in it so needs to be replaced). The "check engine" light comes on every year, usually about a month after I spent a bunch to get the engine fixed to pass Georgia emissions (I have year by year records of work completed to pass emissions and will provide more detail to those who inquire -- most recently passed emissions in May 2014 through replacement of vacuum hoses, A.I.R. System Reactor Pump). Replaced heater hoses and turbo hose in Oct. 2010. Replaced O2 sensor in May 2010. Replaced lock cylinder in Nov. 2009. AIR CONDITIONING: Notes about the air conditioning: The fans work great. With that said, I put in Freon in summer 2012 and the cold-factor has been hit or miss at best in spite of replacement of air compre$$or. The heater works great -- will be super hot heated air in seconds during winter. But as with other Volvos of the 1990s (and other decades) the Swedish did not master air conditioning (not as much need for it in Scandinavia, I suppose). I've grown to tolerate having little or no A/C cool air, but this is an item others may wish to address. I can provide receipts and records of A/C repairs (including Freon installation) which may, through process of elimination, help the new owner get the A/C to the coolness of their choosing. Both of the front seat warmers will cook your rear end within a minute of turning on in winter. I am selling this car "as is" with no warranty, no return. This is a good car and I have spent a lot of time with this listing to fully disclose all the recent history or offer to share more details as requested. Buyer should ask any or all questions BEFORE bidding. A bid means you the buyer understands this car sale is "as is" with no discussion after sale concludes. Test drives are available by request during afternoons and evenings (1 p.m. to 8 p.m. CST) -- the car may be viewed or test driven by serious bidders. Please email me via Ebay for details. THIS CAR IS CURRENTLY IN EDMOND, OKLA., AND MUST BE PICKED UP IN PERSON BY WINNING BIDDER. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKUP LOCALLY. I will not ship this car nor deliver it. LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: The winning bidder MUST COMPLETE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL, CASHIER'S CHECK OR IN PERSON PAYMENT ON OR BEFORE MONDAY, JUNE 23 AT 1 P.M. CENTRAL STANDARD TIME. I AM LEAVING TOWN AND MUST COMPLETE THIS SALE BEFORE 1 P.M. CST ON JUNE 23. NO EXCEPTIONS. PLEASE BE PREPARED TO COMPLETE PAYMENT AND PICK UP THE CAR ON SATURDAY, JUNE 21 or MONDAY JUNE 23. NO EXCEPTIONS. I have 100 percent positive feedback and sold two other cars on Ebay (in 2004 and 2008). Please email me questions. I look forward to helping this great car find a new home. Thank you for your time and interest (and BIDS). |

Volvo might join the tide of automakers turning to hybrids and PHEVs
Sun, Jul 28 2024Volvo had been the clearest and most direct of all automakers about switching to a purely electric lineup. Less than a year after getting the XC40 Recharge to market, on March 2, 2021, the company wrote that it "intends to only sell fully electric cars and phase out any car in its global portfolio with an internal combustion engine, including hybrids." Two years later, with the C40 on dealer lots and the EX90 and EX30 in the pipeline, CFO Bjorn Annwall removed the wiggle room of "intends" by pledging Volvo won't "sell a single car" that isn't purely electric after after 2030, emphasizing the target to Automotive News with, "There's no ifs, no buts." Problem is, there are always ifs and buts, and Volvo might be the next automaker needing a tactical retreat to deal with them. After speaking to members of Volvo's U.S. dealer body, Automotive News reports a softening of the 2030 target. The most Volvo has said publicly came from CEO Jim Rowan, who told analysts during a recent investor webcast that because the EV transformation is going to take time to scale, hybrid powertrains could "form a solid bridge for our customers that are not ready to move to full electrification." According to AN, an anonymous insider said plug-in hybrids could take the lead for the next 10 years as global governments and global markets align on electric vehicles. If this turns out to be the case, Volvo would join a strengthening trend as automakers rush to develop hybrids and PHEVs to launch in the next three years.  Volvo would also be well positioned for the turn, considering buyer sentiment to the hybrids and PHEVs it's sold for many years now. The SPA1 platform supporting every Volvo with an internal combustion engine remains sound. Given development dollars and improvements in battery technology, there's no reason Volvo couldn't ride an evolution of the architecture into the next decade, and it can also take advantage of platforms and toolkits from parent company Geely. Only a year ago, Geely and Renault agreed on a joint venture to invest 7 billion euros for researching new technologies to make non-hybrid and hybrid gas engines more efficient. This is clearly what U.S. dealers want based on their comments to AN, one retailer going so far as to say, "We will have to [stick with hybrids], or we will die." Short term, Volvo's enduring the same pain felt by other automakers.
Next-generation Volvo XC90 could wear the Embla nameplate
Fri, Jan 21 2022Volvo's next-generation XC90 will have a lot of firsts on its resume. It will inaugurate an evolution of the modular SPA2 platform that underpins the current model, it will be available with a new suite of driver assistance features, and it will reportedly adopt the Embla name. Citing a trademark application filed in Europe in 2021, British magazine Autocar believes it has uncovered the big SUV's new name. While a trademark or a patent filing is never a guarantee that a feature, a name or a car is right around the corner, we know that Volvo plans to ditch its alphanumerical naming system in the near future to start giving its cars real names. "We're going to give cars a name as you give a newborn child," explained outgoing company boss Hakan Samuelsson. He also confirmed the next XC90's name will start with a vowel. Embla, your author just learned, is the first woman created by the gods according to Norse mythology. Its etymology is seemingly lost to history. It appears that Volvo wants to build on the Thor's Hammer lights and continue putting its Swedish heritage front and center. Viewed in that light, Embla is a relatively good choice. It's reasonably easy to pronounce, even for folks outside of Scandinavia, and it's original; it's likely not a name that you hear on a daily basis. It's also relatively soft — Volvo Yggdrasil Recharge arguably has less of a ring to it. Unofficial morsels of information allow us to piece together a vague idea of what to expect from the Embla. We hear the SUV will be loosely related to the Concept Recharge design study (pictured) that Volvo introduced in November 2021. If that's accurate, it won't look anything like the model that's currently in showrooms. It will be longer, higher off the ground, and built on a much longer wheelbase. Details about the powertrain are conflicting: some sources say the Embla will be entirely electric, while others believe it will also be available as a hybrid. Volvo is expected to unveil the Embla before the end of 2022, and the crossover will arrive in showrooms as either a 2023 or a 2024 model. An earlier report claims that production will take place near Charleston, South Carolina, where the firm currently builds the S60 sedan. And, to complete the history lesson: the first man created by the gods in Norse mythology was named Ask. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Volvo Concept Estate gets official [w/video]
Thu, 27 Feb 2014The final chapter of Volvo's concept car trilogy has arrived after a few teasers earlier this week, as well as some recently leaked images, and as we so astutely summarized previously, it's a brown shooting brake. Really, we couldn't think of a better type of vehicle to follow up the Concept Coupe from the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Concept XC Coupe from the Detroit Auto Show and complete the Swedish trinity of concepts.
It's best to think of the Concept Estate as the hipper, classier cousin to the Concept Coupe. The two are virtually identical below the beltline, featuring front fascias that are indistinguishable from each other (except one is, you know, brown). Both cars wear wide, rectangular grilles inspired by classic Volvo models and T-shaped headlights Where the Concept Estate differs, obviously, is with its more functional rear end and longer roof.
That rear is accented by the Estate's wide haunches and slim, angular taillights, which borrow heavily from the units shown on the Concept XC Coupe. These two features work in tandem to present a wide, squat appearance from the rear. The profile, meanwhile, shows off that spacious greenhouse, which is made even airier by a glass roof.
