1999 Volvo S70 Base Sedan 4-door 2.4l on 2040-cars
Montpelier, Vermont, United States
|
This Volvo sedan has been in our family since purchased new in 1999. Key features:
1. This car has NEVER seen a Vermont winter; it has lived its entire life in Connecticut and was not driven during Connecticut's rare snow events. Therefore...there is no rust...anywhere. 2. The car has been well cared for with oil and filter changes every 3000 miles. 3. It has never been smoked in. 4. Within the last 3 months the throttle body and front brakes were replaced. 5. When I brought it to VT 2 weeks ago I had our local Volvo certified mechanic inspect it and repair and replace any wear or maintenance items that he identified. Therefore, the car has a brand new timing belt, serpentine belt, left front control arm, right front sway bar link, and new front brake hoses. Spark plugs have been replaced and the right axle seal was leaking so the axle and the boot were replaced. The tires were rotated and the front end aligned. Total receipts in the last 3 months: $2700.00 6. I have the carfax report available for review confirming that this car is as presented. 7. Additional items: Interior shows well except for driver's seat that has separated at the seam. Front tires have 50% tread wear remaining, rear 25%. There are a few scrapes and dings as expected for a car of this age. There were two separate incidents early in the car's ownership both of which occurred when the car was parked (another car backed into it while parking); the driver's side rear door was dented and the right rear quarter panel was dented. Both were repaired professionally and are virtually invisible. 8. All accessories operate as installed; AC blows ice cold, all power windows work, radio plays, and cruise control functions. The engine and transmisson perform flawlessly. This car should give another 150,000 miles of reliable service assuming normal maintenance. |

First production Volvo S60 Polestar shown off
Thu, 18 Apr 2013With the Volvo S60 Polestar going on sale in Australia this June, Volvo has finally released images and specs for the production version of the performance sedan. While no official build number has been announced, one image of the car's steering wheel shows a serial number plaque that says "No. 000/100" indicating that production will likely be limited to just 100 units in Australia. The press release states that the Australia run of Polestar-tuned S60s is a "pilot project" and that other potential markets are "under investigation."
Although it looks very similar to the S60 Polestar Concept we first saw at the LA Auto Show last year, the production version of the car sports a few changes. Visually, the front and rear fascias have been slightly modified from the concept car, as have the matte-black wheels. Inside, we see a different steering wheel that adds the aforementioned build sequence plaque but loses the suede leather accents, and there is also a sportier looking shift lever with a chrome handle that features a Polestar logo.
As for performance figures, rather than the 508-horsepower of the S60 Polestar Concept, the production version will be limited to 350 hp and more than 368 pound-feet of torque, which is still an improvement of about 25 hp and at least 14 lb-ft over a 2013 S60 R-Design. Polestar also tuned the six-speed automatic transmission and Haldex all-wheel-drive system for optimal performance leading to a top speed of 155 miles per hour and a 0-62 mph time of 4.9 seconds. The production S60 Polestar will still get suspension, brake and aerodynamic upgrades.
Volvo to use Oz as test bed for more Polestar models?
Tue, 25 Jun 2013We've already told you about the slightly more awesome version of the Volvo S60 that our friends Down Under can now get their hands on. And according to Aussie site Drive.com.au, Volvo may look to the land of Oz for future testing of new, Polestar-tuned, high-performance models.
Volvo has reportedly confirmed that this S60 Polestar run will be an exercise in testing the acceptance of the Swedish tuner's presence as a proper competitor for things like BMW's M division or Mercedes-Benz's AMG. (A tall order, for sure.) "The world is watching this exercise with much interest," Volvo Cars Australia boss, Matt Braid, told Drive.com.au.
Hans Baath, Polestar Managing Director, reportedly hinted that the tuning house had already begun work on a hotter version of the V40 hatchback, but the project was scrapped in order to get the S60 program rolling. If there's success to be found here, this smaller hot hatch could be revisited, as well as a more powerful version of the XC60 crossover.
How many other cars does it take to kill a Volvo?
Thu, 27 Dec 2012We 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.
