I have decided to sell my extremely nice, accident free 2004 Volvo V70R. The best part about this car is that I have already done all the big ticket maintenance items as you will see below. If you are looking at this ad, you know this is the rare 300hp Volvo with 4 piston Brembo brakes front/rear, incredibly comfortable sport seats and blue stitching throughout. I have owned it for a little over two years. It was my daily driver but I just purchased a 2003 BMW M5 to replace it.
I have kept the car in very nice shape. Paint is 9/10 and interior is 8.5/10. There are some minor dings and scratches here and there from age but it still has it's full gloss finish and all the paint is all original and very nice. 1 small ding above the gas door, 4 small marks in the rear bumper (pictured) and 2 small dings in the driver rear door. The main wear on the interior is the driver side bolster shown in the photos. The rear seat has some indentations and slight discoloring where there has been a carseat for my son but I think the leather will come back after it's been removed for a while.
It runs and drives wonderfully. The local Volvo dealer described it as the nicest and tightest VR they have worked on. I have done a whole lot of maintenance, most of which was done at Paul's Volvo in Richmond, VA and Mooer's Volvo in Midlothian, VA. I can provide receipts for the large ticket items. I have done regular oil changes with Mobil 1 syntec and I keep my cars very nice.
The car does have a few tasteful modifications. No engine or spring/shock suspension mods though.
The stereo has been upgraded and is absolutely spectacular. It is very clean and is hands down the best system I have heard. The speakers are all original as the VR came with 8" woofers in the front doors. I only added a Pioneer 7" touchscreen head unit with bluetooth, an Alpine digital mono amp with the single 12" JL Audio L7. A custom enclosure for the sub was made to fit the car and can easily be removed. The head unit panel was made to look OEM as well.
I added an IPD grill which I think cleans up the look. I still have the original grill which will come with the car. I also modified the headlights as I thought the output was terrible for HID. I custom fit Infinity projectors with Apollo shrouds. Not only did it improve the look of the car, but it greatly improved the output as well.
The only suspension alteration I made was to add a VIVA chassis brace. Anyone who has driven these cars will tell you of the annoying side hop over bumps on the highway. This drasically reduced that issue and can easily be removed if desired.
I also added new black floormats which keep it cleaner and in my opinion look better than the tan ones that were in there.
Please feel free to contact me for any questions or additional images in high res. I have shipped several cars and would be happy to assist in finding a reasonably priced transport company but the buyer is responsible for the costs. I welcome anyone who wants to come inspect and/or drive the car as well.
Since I have owned the car, I have replaced the following:
Timing belt @ 90k
Trans flush and fluid change @ 90k
front brake pads and rotors @ 100k
all 4 sway bar end links @ 85k
Alternator @ 115k
Inner/outer tie rods with boots and alignment @ 115k
All 4 tires @ 110k
Steering line @115k
ABS computer @ around 110k
Front 4c shocks @ 85k
Upper engine mount bushing @95k
Trans mount bushing @ 95k
There are a few small issues that do need attention and are as follows.
Chip in the windshield (pictured)
The front passenger side strut accelerometer broke and therefore the whole shock needs to be replaced. It rides and drives fine but cannot go into sport mode. Mooer's Volvo confirmed this is the issue and therefore, a check suspension error will come on.
Rear brakes only have about 3mm's left on the pads
Center console has the typical 04 problem with the finish showing age (pictured)
I will replace the shock and windshield at the buyer's expense if desired.Here are some photos all of which were taken today on July 20th, 2014 @ 3pm.

Jeremy Lin rose to prominence as a point guard for the New York Knicks in February of 2012 when he came out of nowhere to lead the team to a string of victories. Volvo was quick to notice and signed him as the company's US spokesperson that March. Since then, he has starred in several Volvo advertisements, and his latest ad shows just how he uses his Volvo XC60 to train for the court. The highlight is Lin shooting free throws out of the sunroof.
Since leaving the Knicks, Lin has lost some of the visibility and hype that attracted Volvo to him in the first place. Still, commercials must be made, so check out Lin's latest below.

We all know how safe Volvo cars are, but a European junkyard has decided to put it to the test by crashing, jumping and rolling the life out of an 850 wagon. While government tests use automated systems to crash new cars, the guys in this video do so with a driver behind the wheel. Aside from what looks like a safety harness and roll bar for the driver, it seems like this car is otherwise bone stock.
Not wanting to spoil the fun for you, we'll just point out that at the start of the video, our hero car looks pretty flawless, and by the end, well, let's just say the Craigslist ad for the car would say "needs some body work." Check out the video below to watch some stunts that even the Duke Boys might shy away from.

Australian auto news has been dire for the last several months with all three automakers that build there announcing they would stop production within the next three years. But Volvo is providing a shot of excitement with the unveiling of its new S60 racecar for the upcoming season of the Australian V8 Supercar series.
The Volvo S60 racecar will use a 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8 based on Volvo's B8444S production engine that will be tuned to produce roughly 650 horsepower on E85 ethanol. Power will get to the ground via a six-speed sequential transmission, and it will be able to reach 62 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 185. All cars in the series use common parts for the chassis, transaxle, and rear suspension.
Volvo's Polestar performance arm will campaign two of the S60 racers this season. While Volvo might seem like an odd inclusion into Australian racing, it actually has quite a successful history. It won the 1986 Australian Touring Car Championship in a 240 and won the Bathhurst 1000 race in 1998 in an S40. Polestar is not new to racing either, having been racing Volvos around the world since 1996.
