This is a 7-Day NO RESERVE auction for a 1999 Volvo V70XC Cross Country AWD Turbo Wagon! HIGH BIDDER WINS! This Volvo Cross Country Wagon in outstanding visual condition; however, the vehicle will need some minor work to be perfect. Please read everything for a complete and honest description. I purchased this Volvo in 2007 with 54217 miles at the time (this is documented on the current Pennsylvania title). I am the second owner and both I and the first owner maintained the car exceedingly well. It has always been kept clean and serviced and positively never abused. There are ZERO modifications to this car, in any way. No changes to the radio; no holes drilled anywhere; no body or tire modifications; and absolutely no engine or drive train modifications. With the exception of the front bumper, 100% of the paint you see is factory original. Positively ZERO rust ANYWHERE. Never any body damage. Front bumper was repainted when the alternator went out and a ying-yang wrecker driver from AAA damaged it. That killed me. Although there are minor imperfections to the paint -- and a number of pine-tree sap stains on the hood, the exterior appearance of car is nothing short of exceptional and speaks to the care the car has received. Interior shows equally as well as the exterior. Factory tan leather is well above average throughout and factor carpet and mats are excellent without any excessive ware or stains. There is very minor cracking to the drivers front seat (see photo) and multiple scuff marks to the rear seat leather from where child seats were installed. Absolutely no breaks or rips to the leather, anywhere. Both front door panels are loose at the bottom and all four door panels are beginning to show signs of the vinyl inserts not being glued completely to the backing. Wheels are the same ones that came on the car from Belgium; they have never been refinished. Two wheels do show minor corrosion around the beads; two are near mint. None of the wheels have any hard scuffs, bends or nicks. Rear tires are BF Goodrich Traction T/A radials (this is the OEM name and model tire that came with the car from the factory) with 38,000 miles on them; front tires are BF Goodrich Advantage T/A radial with 11,000 miles. Only reason I do not have OEM matching tires is because the Traction T/A was discontinued and is no longer available for purchase. Spare tire is a doughnut and to the best of my knowledge has never been removed from the rear well. Factory tool kit is also in the well. This car treated my family well for the last seven years. It was only within the last 7,500 miles that there have been multiple maintenance ans service issues that all cropped up within a short time. It was a tough decision, but I decided to not spend the money for the repairs. The lucky buyer of this vehicle gets to fix all the things that the car needs and end up with an outstanding Cross Country that should easily go another 100,000 miles. Here is the honest story of the good and the bad:
Whereas I am extremely knowledgeable about this vehicle, its operations and maintenance history, I do not have an organized binder of receipts and records as some Volvo-heads do. I'm more a put-it-in-a-shoebox kind of record keeper. My very reasonable terms of sale: $200 deposit due within 48-hours from the end of the auction. REALLY!! That means you need to be able to transfer $200 into my Paypal account within 2 days from the end of the auction. If I don't get the $200 deposit, I'll presume you are not serious about the purchase, and I will relist this Volvo. Fair?? Balance due in cash at the time the vehicle is picked up. I would like the car gone and paid for by August 9; -- I am not available 8/1 to assist with the transfer. Buyer responsible for all fees associated with transfer of this car to the new owner. If you are a Pennsylvania resident, please ensure you are prepared to transfer the vehicle to your name on the day of purchase. Unless you know someone personally, there are very few title and tag stores open on Sunday in Pennsylvania. If you are an out-of-state purchaser, you will need to have a valid insurance card from another vehicle and get a temporary transfer tag that is good for 30 days. This will cost you $75.00 for out-of-state drivers. I will NOT ALLOW this vehicle to be driven away until it can be completed legally. If you have ANY questions about this, please ask before you bid. Your $200 deposit it NON REFUNDABLE!!! I believe I have made all efforts to describe this car accurately and honestly. It is a good car, and affordable. It is not perfect and will need service and maintenance. Read everything and understand what I am selling. If this non refundable deposit issue does not sit well with you, than DON'T BID. I won't mind at all. Please email with ANY questions not already covered in the above saga. Also please be aware that I have ABSOLUTE NO INTEREST IN ANY TRADES related to the transfer or sale of this car. I'm not looking for any other cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, guns, or drugs. [I write this because I've sold cars before on Ebay and someone ALWAYS whats to trade something for what I'm selling}. Car needs to be paid for in CASH. ABSOLUTELY no personal checks. If you are interested in buying this vehicle, please ensure you HAVE ALL THE MONEY AVAILABLE before you bid or use buy-it-now. I'm exceedingly easy to deal with, but one thing that really gets me annoyed is hearing eleventh-hour excuses that revolve around, "I'll have the rest of the money on the second Tuesday of next week after I get paid or win the lottery or get my settlement or sell my other car....etc". You either have the money or you don't. PERIOD!! If necessary, ask your wife, husband, mother or father BEFORE YOU BID. Sold as-is where-is. No warranty expressed or implied. Contact me in advance of the end of the auction and you may view and inspect the vehicle. As the insurance has been dropped. effective 7/1, there will be no test drives further than up and down my street. Car is located in Spring City, Pennsylvania 19475. It is approximately 3 miles from the Royersford exit of Route 422 or 8 miles from the Exton exit of the Pennsylvania Turn Pike. If you do not know exactly where this is, please Google it. Please email with questions and thanks for reading everything. No reserve auction; high bid wins! |

Stolen first production Volvo P1800 recovered
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Late last month, we told you about a 1961 Volvo P1800 that had been stolen in Sweden. The thought of losing a classic coupe to an unscrupulous thief is troubling enough, but this wasn't just any P1800 - it was the very first production example minted, and the restored red-over-white two-door was owned by the vice president of the Swedish P1800 Club to boot. Chassis Number Two was pilfered from a Stockholm lockup on either August 21 or 22, and the theft triggered an international hunt of sorts.
Fortunately, that hunt has come to a (mostly) happy ending. According to Larmtjänst AB, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting vehicle crime in Sweden, the car was spotted by someone who had read about the missing classic. The P1800 was recovered in Hägerstensvägen, a municipality of Stockholm, after being found abandoned on the road covered with a tarp. The owner is reportedly very relieved that his Volvo is mostly intact, marred only by a broken ignition and a dirty interior.
New Volvo ad remembers the joy of rear-facing jump seats
Mon, 19 May 2014With the rise in popularity of first the minivan and later the crossover as the default family vehicle, there have been about 20 years of children who have missed out on the joy of rear-facing jump seats in station wagons. It means kids today don't know the pleasure to be found in making faces or lewd gestures at other drivers while their parents can't see. Plus, they don't know the slightly nauseous feeling of watching the world pass by in reverse. However, a group of filmmakers look back with nostalgia at this increasingly uncommon automotive feature in a new ad for the 2015 Volvo V60.
As part of its sponsorship of the National Film Festival for Talented Youth, Volvo commissions a team each year to create an advertisement to be shown during the festival. This year's shows how the company's buyers have gone from riding in the back to driving the brand's cars. Scroll down to check out the charming ad, along with some wistful looks at classic Volvo wagons, before the jump seat is forgotten.
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.
