2000 Volvo V70 Se Rare 5-speed Manual *well Optioned & Non Turbo W/ Svc Records* on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
|
It pains me to say this, but the time has come to offer my trusty 2000 Volvo V70 for sale. I say this knowing that I've never seen, and never will get a chance to own another Volvo quite like this one. This Nautic Blue V70 is a non turbo, manual transmission-equipped car with the SE pack, sporting heated leather seats, a moonroof, and a list of other desirable equipment. If you're a Volvo enthusiast, you'll really appreciate the upgrades and maintenance that has been done on this car throughout its life.
We've owned this car for nearly three years and 60,000 miles after purchasing it from a dealer that specializes in Volvos, and have always made sure the car stayed running and looking great. Included with the car is a large stack of receipts of various maintenance and services performed throughout our ownership, as well as a well-kept maintenance log and the original window sticker. Outside, the car looks quite good for its age, and now is free of any chips or dings on most of the exterior, thanks to recent paintwork. Someone keyed what was the "B+" condition original paintwork on both sides, so I had my insurance take care of the repairs at a premium auto body shop here in SF (I have photos before and after if necessary.) The car has never been in an accident and retains all of its original panels. The Nautic Blue paint shines nicely, and I try to keep it waxed and clean regularly. I've trusted this Volvo with getting me to work, through night classes and graduation, on several east-coast road trips, and eventually, across the country with my life in cargo. We drove this Volvo from New Jersey to California last year when we moved, and relied on it to get us started here in San Francisco. I had the car smog tested and registered in California a couple months ago, and have maintained it with local mechanics and a Volvo specialist. Berkeley Bob's, a local Volvo indie shop, recently serviced this car, replacing an oxygen sensor and a PCV hose. There is a SRS code present for the passenger side SIPS airbag, but I haven't had that replaced. The car is sitting on 17-inch OEM Volvo S80 "Arrakis" wheels with brand new Falken Ziex-912 tires. I installed this wheel and tire combo 800 miles ago. Other noteworthy maintenance during my ownership includes: -Timing belt & waterpump @ 180k -New Falken Tires & Arrakis S80 wheels (1k ago) -New Bilstein hd shocks, struts, mounts & springs -New CA compliant cat, 02 sensor, VIVA CBE -New Accessory belt and tensioner -New Alternator and battery -New windshield -New Master window Switch cluster -4 new brake rotors, calipers, SS lines, and hard lines in the rear -New e brake hardware, shoes, etc -New Rensi all weather mats -New engine, trans, pitch stop mounts -New upper, lower rad hoses oil cooler hoses and clamps -New axles, control arms, tie rod inner and outer, and end links -XC70 grille -New clutch, DMS flywheel, clutch line, and slave cyl at 200k I've probably dropped $8000 in parts, repairs, upgrades, etc into this car over the past 2 1/2 years, and it shows. I have complete documentation and an overflowing file of parts receipts for what I have into this car, including the original window sticker and an obsessively-maintained service records booklet. The car was originally delivered to Volvo Corporate in New Jersey and driven by the same owner to 179,000 miles, where I stepped in. *Note: I will include a compilation of various spare parts and accessories with the car, but the bike racks are staying for my other car. This car runs, drives, steers and stops as it should. All power equipment is in working order. Items like the factory stereo and A/C system are all in good nick. Interior is cleaned regularly with Lexol and is smoke-free. I've put in the money and time to take care of this car during my ownership, but no longer need the car. This is a chance to own a rare-optioned V70 with all of the costly maintenance done. I've purchased an AWD vehicle to take to Lake Tahoe for the weekends, as I don't need a commuter car anymore and cannot park two cars in the city. Please ask all questions before auction end. A non-refundable deposit is due shortly after auction end, and full payment must be made within 7 days of listing end. Car must be picked up within 10 days of auction end. I would be willing to help with arrangements or meet your shipping company, but all payments must clear or be cash in hand before the vehicle leaves. This vehicle is also offered for local sale. Interested parties can reach me by phone for questions at 609-276-9843. I reserve the right to end listing at any time if the vehicle is sold. Thanks for looking, and happy bidding! |

Volvo developing new three-cylinder engine family
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Pop the hood on a Volvo of recent vintage and you'll find four-, five-, six- and even eight-cylinder engines. But the Swedish automaker is downsizing its engines over the coming years. The new XC90, set to be revealed later this week, will use a new family of four-cylinder engines (like the one pictured above). But that's not even the end of it as emerging reports speak of a new three-cylinder engine family in the works.
The new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine will, according to reports, help Volvo further cut its carbon emissions in line with constricting regulations in markets like Europe and Australia. There won't be quite as many versions as the four-cylinder range, which will include gasoline and diesel versions in varying states of tune, but the three-pot motor is tipped to be employed in vehicles as large as the S60 and its stablemates. Larger than that, however, and the three-cylinder engine apparently just doesn't have the necessary torque.
Expect the new three-cylinder engine to be introduced sometime later this decade, after the four-cylinder's introduction in 2016. The three-cylinder engine is also set to form the building block of an even more efficient hybrid propulsion system in the future, enabling this new engine family to stay relevant through 2025.
See Volvo's integration of Apple CarPlay in action
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Apple unveiled its new CarPlay touchscreen infotainment system earlier today, and Volvo has just released a video showing the system in action. The Cupertino tech giant is expected to announce partnerships with Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz to license CarPlay, as well, at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and will be working with even more manufacturers in the future.
The system pairs the driver's iPhone with the car's infotainment system and seamlessly allows them use the smart phone's functions and, at least in Volvo's demonstration, the car's climate control and seat heating systems. According to the video, the new system will be available "in the coming generation Volvo cars," which likely means the upcoming, next-generation Volvo XC90.
However, the system will not work universally. Apple will add functionality through an update to iOS 7 in the future for the iPhone 5, 5C and 5S. At launch other devices won't be supported. Scroll down to watch CarPlay work. We are expecting more details to emerge on the new infotainment system when the Swiss show opens tomorrow.
Volvo PV444 turns 70
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Volvo has made all manner of vehicles over the course of its long history, including coupes, convertibles, hatchbacks, sedans, wagons and SUVs. But the vehicle that started it all was the PV444.
Or rather, we should say, the PV444 is what re-started it all. Because while it wasn't Volvo's first model, it was the first one it produced after the war. Monday, September 1, will mark 70 years since the PV444 first debuted at the Royal Tennis Hall in Stockholm pictured above, where the company received 148,437 visitors.
That presentation there took place shortly before the end of World War II when the vehicle wasn't even finished yet. A team of 40 engineers and designers were still fine-tuning the final version, but were eager to show the public what it would start building after the last bullet was fired and peace would return to Europe.
