Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"AS IS! Engine failure. Dead battery. In December, the mileage was approximately 180,000. Uncertain exactly how much since the vehicle was not driven since January. Exterior in decent shape. It could use a good car wash. Interior is in very good shape considering the age and milage. Mechanically all else was fine including the transmission which never gave any issues for me."

My Volvo XC70 had an engine heart attack and slipped into a coma over the winter.  A self anointed M.D. (A Motor Doctor hanging out at in one of the long lines at Auto Zone) abandoned her on the operating table while performing a routine timing belt replacement.  After a couple of days of neglecting curiosity, I decided to turn over the engine myself with wishful thinking.  It was a rough start.  I heard a rapid series of  clicks and knocks so, I immediately turned her off.  Too late!  The damage was done.  I soon found another willing M.D. (at Auto Zone of course) and he determined that her valve stems were bent. (Almost sounds like a feminine issue). As she lay there motionless in my make shift ICU section of my drive way, the "expert" gave me a quote.  Not feasible for me.  As her next of kin, I decided right then and there to put her down.  But not without enlisting your aid!


I need her moved ASAP either by a gurney or a tow of your choice.  From there, feel free to check her into an auto clinic of your choice and revive her as a project.  If not, put her on a hydraulic slab at the auto morgue and dissect her as a mechanical organ donor.  If neither suits your needs, by all means, please find her a decent plot and send her off with a 21 gun salute.
Uncle Sam might appreciate and reward your efforts for it!

Interior:
The leather seats are slightly worn as expected over time.  However, there are no loose seams and/or tears in the firm yet supple leather.   All cabin buttons, levers, locks and lights were in working order before tragedy befell her.

Exterior:
She can use a good wash!

Performance:
Keep in mind that the battery is dead and I can only provide an approximation on the mileage.  The odometer might have + or - 3000 on the 185,000 miles listed.
Front and Rear brakes done a year ago.  The ignition always fired up quickly.  The car drove straight.  AC was cold.  Heat worked.  Wipers worked.  No check engine lights or related problems to report in the past. The suspension was a glide, the handling was tight, the shifting was flawless.

Me:
I am not a dealer.  I am a private seller with 100% FB.  I attempt to list as accurately as possible.  However, I am human and am therefore prone to unintentional oversight and errors.  Furthermore, I do not claim nor do I imply to know the full history of the vehicle as I have only owned it for approximately 4 years.  Never had any issues until her mechanical health was compromised by an unlicensed M.D. I found standing bored in a long, long line at Auto Zone.

You:
Before you take my word(s) or engage in the gears of commerce, you have the right to inspect the vehicle before the end of the auction.

The XC70:
Is selling AS IS in all its glory.

Volvo, Kia and BYD duke it out in the finals for World Car of 2024

Mon, Feb 26 2024

Three electric vehicles — none produced by an American manufacturer — will compete next month for the title of 2024 World Car of the Year, it was announced Monday. The finalists are the Kia EV9, the Volvo EX30 and the BYD Seal (shown above). The latter two are built in China. The three top finalists in five other categories were also named at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland. The winners in all six categories will be revealed live during an awards ceremony at the New York International Auto Show on March 27. This year marks the 20th year of the World Car Awards and the partnership with the New York show. Besides car of the year, the other finalists are: Electric vehicle: BMW i5, Kia EV9, Volvo EX30; Luxury car: BMW 5 Series/i5, Mercedes Benz E-Class, Mercedes Benz EQE SUV; Performance car: BMW M2, BMW XM, Hyundai Ionia 5 N; Urban car: BYD Dolphin, Lexus LBX, Volvo EX30; World Car Design: Ford Bronco, Ferrari Purosangue, Toyota Prius. Only Ford among U.S. companies has an entry in the final selections, and only in one category, design, for the Bronco. BMW has four vehicles in the finals, Volvo has three, Kia and Mercedes have two each. BYD from China has two entries as well. The Seal went on sale in in its home market in 2022 and is now available in most of the rest of the world. The BYD Co. (which stands for Build Your Dreams) has surpassed Tesla to become the worldÂ’s biggest maker of electric vehicles, and has its sights set on the U.S. The selection process for World Cars involves 100-plus automotive journalists from 29 countries who vote, as they review and test-drive the eligible vehicles for the 2024 awards. Their journey is captured virtually on World Car TV. Design/Style Geneva Motor Show BMW Ferrari Ford Hyundai Kia Lexus Mercedes-Benz Toyota Volvo Best Cars World Car of the Year

Volvo's next chapter is about to begin with the debut of the EX90, the Swedish brand's all-electric successor to the three-row XC90 SUV.

The EX90 official reveal was on Wednesday, November 9 at 9 a.m. Eastern, and you can watch the live debut right here in the video above. So far, Volvo has released a number of teaser images showing parts of the car's exterior and minimalist, tech-focused interior. It has talked about the EX90's interior materials, its no-button tech interface and its focus on safety, including interior radar and exterior lidar. In addition to seeing the EX90, Volvo promises to give us a glimpse at what's to come next. Tune in above to hear it all. Covered body-coloured grille frame View 6 Photos

Now at Costco: Bales of toilet paper and a Volvo or Pacifica to haul them

Tue, Aug 29 2017

Costco, the beacon of bulk buying, where you can buy everything from gasoline to your own casket at deep discount, is offering some Costco-only incentives through its Auto Program in partnership with specific car brands: for now, Volvo and Chrysler, with other brands planned for later. First, Volvo: Now through Oct. 2, you can get both special incentives AND employee pricing (aka "A-Plan" pricing) AND whatever rebates and incentives Volvo might already have going on. The Costco incentives are: $3,000 on 2017 and 2018 S90 sedans. $750 on 2017 and 2018 S60 sedans. $750 on 2017 and 2018 V60 and V90 Cross Country wagons. $750 on 2017 and 2018 XC90 SUVs. $750 on the outgoing 2017 XC60 crossovers. Automaker incentives usually vary by region, but in the Detroit area, at least, Volvo currently has a $2,500 incentive on the 2018 XC90 and $3,500 on the 2017 model. Those end Aug. 31 but could be renewed in September, and others could be added then as well. Volvo is also offering special interest rates on financing some of the other models. And when all is said and done, if you fill out a Costco customer survey you'll get a $200 cash card. The Chrysler Pacifica deal, also through Oct. 2, is even simpler: Go to the Costco site, print out a certificate worth $1,000, and take it to a Chrysler dealership — any dealership, not just those that usually work with Costco, which is a first. The incentive covers both 2017 and 2018 models. And like the Volvo promotion, these Costco incentives can be combined with whatever Chrysler's doing — and it currently has a myriad of incentives on 2017 Pacificas, in various combinations that differ depending on whether you're leasing or buying. If you register at the Costco Auto Program website, you'll be put in touch with a dealer who can review the bottom line after all the discounts are factored in. Participating dealerships have offered special pricing to Costco members for years, up to the price automaker employees get. Costco's program doesn't typically work the way these Volvo and Chrysler programs do, though a similar joint promotion with Volvo back in 2013 sold 7,500 cars. If you haven't used the Costco Auto Program, but you don't like haggling at a dealership, you might give it a try. The beauty of it is that a dealer is obligated to offer you a set price and is also obligated to treat you by certain rules, such as not trying to upsell you. Last year, 490,000 vehicles were sold to Costco members through the program.
