The time has come to sell my baby. I just don't have the time or space to finish what I started. For those of you not familiar with this car, it is a 300+ hp, AWD, 6-speed monster with the luxury and safety that Volvo is well known for. The color combination makes it even more rare!


My 2004 Volvo V70R wagon has been with us for about two years. I purchased it with about 185k miles on it, and it is a wonderful car. It was traded into a dealership I worked at, but I got the chance to meet the owner. He had purchased it at about 97,000 miles, and it was his daily driver. As an outside sales rep, he did a LOT of miles, all highway, and needed the car to be in TOP shape to make sure he could get to his appointments without fail.

The vehicle had many OEM parts installed while he owned it - power steering pump, rack, rear struts, fuel pump ass'y are highlights. He also took the liberty and pleasure of upgrading with $1,000's in tasteful and high quality aftermarket goodies. He fitted a Bell FMIC (front mount intercooler), with silicone piping, Eurosport stainless steel cat-back, upgraded hybrid turbo from Viva Performance, software tune from a RICA PPC handheld programmer, K&N drop in filter, drilled/slotted rotors, OZ Ultraleggeras with Michelin Pilot Sports, M1 Abrahms shift knob, and a boost/voltmeter gauge setup next to the radio inside. The car was also fitted with a Volvo OEM trailer hitch setup.

While driving on the highway, the vehicle stalled out. Unable to start, I towed the vehicle home. After checking compression,it had dropped to 60PSI. I removed the head and had it completely gone through by a machine shop. Two valves were slightly bent, so they were replaced, along with all the valve stem seals. The head was checked and cleaned, and reassembled, the valves were adjusted, and I reinstalled it, along with a brand new OEM timing belt kit, water pump, thermostat, and belt. I also checked and replaced the angle gear (common failure on these cars), with a brand new OEM angle gear. Once back together, the vehicle still had 60-70psi across the board, and after a leakdown test the prognosis was that the rings had given out. The verdict was a fresh bottom end rebuild, with the minimum being rings, maybe some pistons depending on what we found when we took it apart. I estimated the work (removing the engine and reinstalling it myself), accounting for machine work and new pistons, to be around $1500. This would be much less if the pistons could be used again. I also have access to a complete running used motor for $2000 - you could install this and sell the refurbished head, or swap the refurbished head on to the lower end and sell the stock head.

This was a VERY fast car, with over 320 HP at the wheels (dyno tested), manual transmission, all wheel drive, super comfortable, and safe. It really is the car that does everything. It won't take much to finish and when you do, it'll be good for another 200k miles. Aside from the bottom end work, the car doesn't need anything. The front struts are believed to be original, but did not seem worn and aren't leaking. The brakes are all in excellent order. The car comes with a set of almost new Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 snow tires. With these, the car was UNSTOPPABLE in the snow. The Michelin Pilot Sports are brand new (2) and about 500-1000 miles (2) - these are over $300/tires!

I considered parting the car out, but again, I'm short on time and space, and it's too rare and incredible a car to break into pieces. If you want one car to do it all, and have a blast doing it, look no further.

Happy bidding!

Current Volvo XC90 to live on in China?

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

The current, long-serving Volvo XC90 might not be going away as soon as we thought - at least not in China. According to word from CarNewsChina, the crossover's production will be moved to Daqing, China, in December and from that point on, be built at Geely's factory. The only available engine will be a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder.
According to the report, the present XC90 and the imminent next-generation model will both be sold in the market, but the Chinese-made vehicle will be positioned as a cheaper alternative. Geely will also develop a crossover of its own from the platform that should be ready in late 2015.
Volvo plans to launch the new XC90 later this year to replace the aging model, which has been on the market for over a decade. It will ride on the company's new Scaleable Product Architecture platform and will be powered by the automaker's new Drive-E four-cylinder engine family. Hybrid versions will also be available.

See Volvo's integration of Apple CarPlay in action

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Apple 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.

2015.5 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar [w/video]

Thu, 01 May 2014

Polestar Performance has been around since 1996, but until recently, it only did two things: manage Volvo motorsports operations and run a specialist consumer-facing side that built concept cars and boosted Volvo's turbocharged production cars by 15 to 60 horsepower. Five years ago, it fulfilled its long-held desire to engineer an actual production car, first creating the C30 Polestar Performance Concept, a showcar that led to the C30 Polestar Limited Edition.
That foray led to the berserker, 508-horsepower 2013 S60 Polestar Concept that Auto Motor und Sport called "a hard slap in the face to the Germans," and that model led to the limited-edition S60 Polestar production car just for Australia, a car reviewers swooned for, with one comparing its chassis finesse to the Ferrari 458 Italia.
All of which is to say, Polestar has a good start for a motorsports and tuning company to make good on its production car dreams. The 2015 Volvo S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar keep that momentum going, and beautifully at that.
