This 2000 Volvo v70 has been a joy for me the past 6 months Ive owned it, I bought the car as a daily driver because of the amount of room and Volvo's reputation of quality and was not let down once. The car was bought from a dealership and looked over by certified technicians the car checked out great, I changed the oil 5000 miles early just a personel preference at 150,000 miles. Oil looked great. There is no mechanical disfunction about the car other then what I think is the passenger side electric unlock relay. But is a easy and cheap fix that doesn't take long. The car is a smoke free car and has a electronic adjustable trailer brake for hauling that I will include with the purchase. The only reason I am selling the car is the attachment this car gave me for volvos and have to decided to buy a Volvo S60 r and use it as my daily.
The GOOD
- The paint on the car is in absolute amazing condition for the miles and age. Has typical front bumper rock chips, but because the car is white there hardly noticable.
- Mechanically this car is its strong point, theres no suspension pops, brake fade or travel, motor sounds healthy and runs strong, tires still have 80% of the tread left, starts right up, drives straightand true, driving the car I can promise you will think it is new. I myself am still impressed with how mechanically sound the car is and how itdrives like new.
- The interior in the car is a strong 8 out of 10 other then known wear points on the leather(driver seat, armrest, steering wheel)
- Has a electronic adjustable trailer brake
- Shifts smooth and gets around 27-29 mpg on the highway, I've averaged 33 on the highway before.
- Brakes are strong, pads are around 40-50%
The BAD
- The only ding that I can see on the car is on the passenger side on the door and Im sure could be popped out.
- The check engine light is on, but I beleive its because the service interval has not been reset
- The driver seat and armrest does have a lot of wear, a armrest cover does come with the car. and a used driver seat can be bought for $50-$100
As for now I do beleive I have covered everything that I can think of with this car. Overall this is a great car with a lot of functionality and Im confident the buyer will be happy with their purchase.
Happy bidding!
and feel free to ask any questions that you have, I will be happy to answer any questions.

Volvo shows inflatable child seat concept [w/video]
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Volvo is bringing its emphasis on safety and design to the littlest members of the family with its concept for an inflatable, rearward facing child safety seat. The design is meant to help traveling families by offering a lighter and less bulky alternative to traditional car seats.
The design is quite ingenious. The seat is covered in drop-stitched fabric, which fills with air to create the form of the seat. An electric motor in it allows inflation and deflation in less than 40 seconds, according to Volvo. It weighs less than 5 kilograms (11 pounds) and folds small enough when collapsed to fit into a bag. It even has a Bluetooth connection, so parents can begin expanding it remotely.
The inflatable seat in the brainchild of Lawrence Abele, Volvo's design manager at its Monitoring and Concept Center in Los Angeles, CA. "For many, travelling with young children is a challenge; any assistance to simplify the parents' life with young children is a great thing," he said in a statement released by Volvo. The chair remains a concept for now, and the automaker isn't saying whether it's going to put it into production, but it's a clever solution to a common problem. Scroll down for a video showing it in action and to read the release.
Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines
Sat, 23 Feb 2013
It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.
