2001 Volvo V70 Xc Cross Country, Very Well Maintained, No Reserve! on 2040-cars

Year:2001 Mileage:262984
Location:

Forest Hill, Maryland, United States

Forest Hill, Maryland, United States

Don't be put off by this car's mileage, it drives better and looks nicer than most Cross Country's with half the mileage. This has been my wife's car for the past 6 or 7 years, and I own a European auto repair shop, so it has always received any and all needed repairs. It has been a great car for her, and the awesome safety is a nice reassurance when hauling the kids around. This car drives great, is awesome in the snow, has cold a/c and great heat (with heated seats!). It is quiet and smooth down the road, no weird noises or problems.  Has all the power functions you could want and everything works, seats, locks, windows etc. It has the rear steel dog/cargo grate option that folds down from the roof. With all of the maintenance and repairs that have been done, this car should be able to go another 100k. 

The Good: Timing belt just done 3k miles ago including replacement of cam seals, brand new radiator and radiator hoses, recent a/c compressor and expansion valve, recent lower control arms and front and rear struts/shocks. Transmission replaced about 20k miles ago with a Volvo reman trans. New front and rear pads and rotors using quality euro parts. Has a receiver tow hitch with factory Volvo wiring connector. 

The Bad: Driver seat leather torn, rear view mirror doesn't auto dim, and left rear seat belt needs to be replaced (I had to cut the belt because my son managed to get it jammed). That's it really, everything else works and looks as it should.

Car is located in and needs to be picked up in Forest Hill, MD. If you wish to ship, I can cooperate with the shipper of your choice. Thanks for looking!

Polestar says goodbye to Volvo C30 in video tribute

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

The Volvo C30 was put to its eternal bed a few months ago, but the tuners at Polestar have a little more eulogizing to do. The Swedish house of speed that has raced and reworked the little hatch since its introduction in 2006 wants the world to know what they've been through together, so it has encapsulated seven years of around-the-world action into three minutes and 28 seconds of track footage and champagne.
We're still waiting on word of a replacement for the funny little hatch, and while we lament what could have been, the video below proves that the C30 provided plenty of thrills for those outside of the US. And as you can read in our recent review of the Polestar-enhanced road-going C30, it provided a decent amount of fun for those of us in the States, as well.

Volvo building new AstaZero safety proving ground in Sweden

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Volvo is an automaker committed to vehicle safety, setting an ambitious target for itself: by 2020, the Swedish automaker envisions that no one will be killed or seriously injured in one of its cars. In order to achieve that goal, Volvo has announced a new proving ground designed specifically to test safety solutions.
Called AstaZero, the new facility near the company's headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, is the result of a $70 million investment. It will cover some 500 acres, with over 60 acres of pavement, four city blocks and three and a half miles of highway. The Active Safety Test Area (the ASTA in AstaZero) will enable Volvo and its partners (including Scania trucks as well as government bodies and university development programs) to simulate city streets, highways, rural roads, roundabouts, T-junctions and more, combining traffic from cars, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, trucks and even animals in order to account for all manner of potential hazards.
The facility will enable Volvo to test active safety systems and autonomous vehicle operations, and even allow robots to test its prototypes in an adaptive environment that aims to be more flexible than existing proving grounds. Read more about Volvo's commitment to safety in the press release below.

Volvo V40 Cross Country gets the all-wheel drive it deserves

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

Want a rugged Volvo wagon? Gothenburg has two kinds to offer: there's the XC crossovers on the one hand and ruggedized wagons on the other. As we reported last month from the unveiling of the new XC90 in Sweden, Volvo plans on offering more Cross Country wagons in the future. But in the meantime, it has upgraded the existing V40 Cross Country with some key enhancements - not the least of which is the long-awaited addition of all-wheel drive.
Powertrain upgrades for Volvo's smallest soft-roader include the new T5 engine (a 1.7-liter turbo four producing 245 horsepower), an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The new powertrain is not only more capable, but also more environmentally friendly than the old T5 it replaces.
The enhanced V40 Cross Country launches in Europe mid-fall before being rolled out in other markets in the following months, but unfortunately the United States is not among them as the V40 is not offered Stateside in any configuration, which is a shame.
