We are pleased to present this very nice 2000 Volvo V70 SE. There are several things that make this car quite special, and I'll try to make sure that I list all of them for those that are not quite as familiar with these Volvos. These 98-00 V70s are developing quite a following among our customers, and we are constantly having people asking us to find nice examples of them (because of our reputation as a seller of volvos of this vintage). We often come across them, but rarely in the fantastic condition of this particular one. 2000 is the very last year for this proven body style. These cars were in production since the eary 90s (as the 850), and then from 1998-2000 they were lightly redesigned and made more luxurious and sold as the V70. The non-turbo versions such as this one are perhaps one of the most reliable Volvos ever made! In fact, the engine and transmission configuration in this car will have no problem eating all of the miles you throw at it. We have seen several of these with 300, 400, and even 500k miles! Now, on top of all of the things that make this 2000 V70 special, this is also very, very well optioned. If you look at the window sticker (pictured below) you'll see that it's stuffed with options like the Touring Packge, Leather, Moonroof, Stability and Traction Control, and of course, the very hard to find THIRD ROW SEAT! For being a non-turbo front wheel drive model, this car is about as highly optioned as it gets! The all wheel drive models, though excellent in winter weather, have fairly high-maintenance all wheel drive systems. This particular V70 gives you the best of both worlds in that it has all of these luxury features without the all wheel drive. The front wheel drive is also assisted with STC (stability and traction control) which helps prevent wheel spin on slippery surfaces like snow and ice. It also has a winter mode for the transmission which starts the car out in second gear to prevent wheel spin. This car is a ONE OWNER vehicle. It has been owned by the same family since it was brand new in 2000. One owner cars are almost always very well cared for because the person who bought it paid well over $30,000 for this car, and they are protecting that investment. We have a fairly extensive service history for this car. The other AWESOME thing about this car is, as I mentioned above is that it has the very rare third row seat. That seat makes this car a 7 Passenger vehicle, and allows you to have the seating capacity of an SUV while still having the handling, performance, and gas mileage of a car.  In addition to it having the third row seat, it also has the accessory third row seat cushion which makes the seat much more usable on long trips.  These are extremely difficult to find!

The interior of this V70 is in very good condition. In fact, overall, this is one of the nicest interiors we've ever seen in one of these cars. The black leather seats are in nearly perfect condition for the car's age with no tears and virtually no cracking. They're still very soft, and feel great. Everything in the interior works including the air conditioning, which is ice cold. Even both cup holders aren't broken! The car has the upgraded high-performance alpine/volvo sound system with 10 speakers and a CD/Cassette player. It's easy to use, and sounds excellent. It also has a power moonroof. The previous owner of this car was definitely a non-smoker. These cars don't even come with cigarette lighters, just power outlets. There is a cup holder that accommodates two beverages. This Volvo has dual front airbags, as well as front side airbags. The side airbags are part of a system called SIPS which stands for "Side Impact Protection System." This is a combination of high-strength door beams, specially designed door openings, and side airbags, which keeps the passengers safe in the event of a side impact. The rear seats fold flat (both the second and third row seats), and the passenger front seat also folds down for carrying very long cargo.

The exterior of this V70 is in remarkably good condition for the year and miles, and is Moondust Metallic in color. This color is quite rare, and only came on this body style in the 2000 model year. It's a very fine metallic, and I absolutely love it on this car. The exterior of this car is just gorgeous, and the paint is in wonderful condition. It's obvious that this car was garaged for its life. There are some scratches on thebumpers from parking, but they're not very deep, and don't stand out too much. There are also some light scratches on the rear bumper from loading things in and out of the cargo area. The car has had only one owner since it was new, this owner serviced the car exceptionally well. The car has very nice 15" alloy wheels which are in great condition. The lug bolts are nice and shiny and not rusted at all. This V70 also has the heavy-duty accessory roof bars which allow for heavier loads than the standard bars. They are also exactly of the proper shape and size to accept any THULE attachment. They are easily removable in less than 5 minutes, and can be stowed in the cargo area.

The tires are all in nice shape with excellent tread life remaining. The brakes are in  good shape and the car stops as it should. The legendary 2.4 Liter non-turbo 5 cylinder engine runs flawlessly and is very smooth. The transmission also operates properly. It's very smooth, while still shifting crisply. All of the car's accessories work including the power windows and moonroof. The timing belt service was done at 107k miles, which means that it will be due again at 217k miles. These cars rarely have mechanical problems.
