2004 Volvo V70 2.5t Wagon- Gorgeous Turbo Charged Powerhouse Wagon on 2040-cars

Year:2004 Mileage:120826
Location:

Indianapolis, Indiana, United States

Indianapolis, Indiana, United States

Well my wife says it's time to "upgrade" to a minivan so the wagon has to go.  We bought this wagon back in 2011 from a Volvo salesman- it was his personal car.  He had all of the work done at the dealership and we have had it done there or at an independent shop that specializes in Volvos.  The car looks great and is very fast for a wagon;  you can really feel the turbocharger kick in.  The title is clear and the car is ready to drive anywhere.  Here is what you are getting:

The Good:
Great looking paint!  While there are some small scratches here and there (see photos) I have kept the paint in great condition.  I have only used Zaino products on it which has given the car a very deep gloss/shine.  No rust at all on this vehicle!

This car has awesome power for a wagon.  The turbo charger is quite nice.

Large 17" factory option wheels- really shine up nice- see photos  

Great tires: I put Bridgestone Potenza tires on it.  They are big, low profile, and fat = great traction.  No issues in the snow either as long as you put the car in the "slick pavement" setting.  Yes the car has a special setting for rain/snow. 

Leather Seats: The front ones are heated and they adjust like you would not believe.  The drivers side can memorize two set positions so multiple drivers can adjust with the push of a button.

Fold Down Third Row Seat- rear facing

Deep Tint: This is from the factory and looks great.

WeatherTech Floor Liner for the rear hatch back area-  Laser cut and made in the USA

All Synthetic fluids used in the car and K&N oil filters are used.

New Parts since I've owned it:

K&N Air Filter
Hitch
Volvo Brand Cross Bars- not pictured but they are included so you can mount bikes, kayaks, ski equipment, etc to the top of the car.
Radiator
New Tires in Oct 2012- Bridgestone Potenza with Nitrogen Fill
New Alarm System
Back in March, the oil pump went out on the expressway and the engine threw a rod, so it was replaced with a used one with about 85,000 miles on it.  When this was done, all lines were replaced and fluids were flushed.
New Throttle Body
Water pump
Timing Belt
Motor Mounts
Brakes
Turbo Rebuilt
Vapor Box and all lines involved
HID Headlight 
CEM Unit
New Wiper Blades all Around: Front, Rear, and Headlight- yes it has wipers for the headlights!

Issues with the Car:
- My daughter decided to use the CD player as a piggy bank.  I've talked to an installer and they said this is common (they see 1-2 of that issue a week lol) and usually the unit just needs to be removed and the coins shook out.  I've priced them on ebay and they usually run about $40 dollars so worst case scenario is getting one on here.

-About once a week one of the headlights will go out, you just toggle the switch and it comes back on.  This has been happening since I bought it and I never had it looked into.

- Once a year it has had a hard time starting and then the check engine light comes on.  I have taken it both to the dealer one year and an independent shop the next and each time they said it was just a dirty wiring harness.  Once they cleaned it everything was fine.  

- I only have one key and the "switch blade" feature doesn't work on it. 

- The driver's side rear seat has a crease in it from having a baby car seat latched in it for so long.  It has been getting better over time with it out, but I imagine that will always be in there to some degree.  See photo

- The rear bumper cover is faded and scratched.  I have tried all sorts of products to help it but they have not helped much.  See photo

- The hatch area does have some dog hair in it.  I took a lint roller to it and that helped alot but it will probably take a couple of more applications to get it all out.  It's short, white dalmatian hairs... :)

Great looking car and I'm selling it below blue book value.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask, but do so before you buy the car!

Car will also come with:
Volvo Cross Bars
Extra K&N Oil Filter
Light Bulb Set- All light bulbs for the back of the car- I ordered these when they were on sale and they were never needed.

All sales are final 
Car must be picked up- I will not ship.
Sold As Is
I have done my best to describe the car.  Please ask questions.
I will probably put about 10 more miles on it before it is sold as I'm going to take it for one last wash before it goes.

Apple announces CarPlay in-car iPhone interface

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Apple, maker of tech items like the iPhone, iPad and Mac line of computers, is extending its reach into the automotive market, making a fairly big announcement ahead of the Geneva Motor Show. No, it hasn't bought Tesla (yet). Instead, Apple has announced CarPlay, an all-new means of controlling an iPhone through your car.
Now, this doesn't strike us as some gimmicky thing. It's become increasingly common for automakers to take advantage of the high-speed data streams its customers enjoy on their smartphones in order to integrate navigation, traffic, audio and other infotainment items into a car's touchscreen interface. The Chevrolet Spark and Sonic are two prime examples of this move, using an iPhone's data stream for Siri integration and data for a third-party navigation app.
Owners will be able to plug in their iPhones to their cars via the USB port and gain control of a number of the device's functions, all through a car's touchscreen.

Watch this Volvo truck drive up a quarry road using hamster-powered steering

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

Volvo Trucks has been producing some of the most interesting and thrilling commercials around as of late, and this new one involves a live hamster. While you may wonder how could a hamster and a dump truck could be exciting, just know this ain't a Kia Soul commercial: the Swedish truck company enlists the help of a hamster named Charlie to steer an FMX construction truck up a winding road in Ourence, Spain. From the bottom of a quarry. We are not kidding you.
All we ask is that you watch the commercial below to see how it all goes down. If you like what you see, you can then check out a bonus 'behind the scenes' video and press release for details about how Volvo Trucks prepared for the stunt.

Volvo launches next-gen Sensus Connect infotainment system [w/videos]

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

To borrow a line from another automaker, the Volvo S60 has the power to surprise - it's likely not top of mind for most entry-level luxury sedan buyers, but it's good enough that it probably should be. There's long been one pretty serious chink in its armor, though, and that goes for the company's entire model line: infotainment. The Swedish marque's offerings just haven't been that feature-rich, but Volvo is working to improve things with its updated Sensus Connect, a suite of functions just launched at this week's CES in Las Vegas.
The new system updates center on cloud-based connectivity advancements that include a novel Park&Pay feature that allows drivers to search for parking and pay for their space from the comfort of their car. Other functions that show off the diversity of Sensus Connect include embedded, Pandora-streaming internet radio, Wikipedia, remote start via smart phone, dealer appointment booking, destination attraction searches and an available wifi hotspot.
All of this increased functionality sounds like a big step in the right direction, and Volvo is noting it has refreshed the system's interface with "graphically themed center and driver displays" along with improved voice control and text-to-speech capabilities.
