I am a Volvo tech and I'm selling a dependable 1998 Volvo v70 R AWD rare w/ every option, I purchased this silver (always looks clean) wagon from a customer of mine two years ago he took great care of it and kept it well maintained. If you are looking for a Volvo wagon this is the last real Volvo after 1998 Volvo switched over to a electronic throttle body on there engines that had many issues which caused Volvo to put out a recall on the throttle body, plus the ignition system was switched over from a distributor to coil over plug which crack all the time and cause misfire issues, plus post 98 Volvos have many electronic control modules which are expensive to repair when they go bad I repeat when they go bad not if they go bad, 1998 was also a good year for Volvo transmissions most trans last about 180k post 98 I have replaced many transmissions, I have owned many Volvos but 1998 and prior years were very dependable, you don't have to take my word on this but do yourself a favor and go online and read posts on the 98 and prior Volvos compared to post 98 models. The KBB value is $6200. I recently replaced many parts on the R here is a list of the repairs, new rear brake pads and rotors, new front brake pads, radiator fan, ignition coil, remanufactured abs module, coolant hoses radiator is a year old, lower right engine mount, p/s rack, inner and outer tie rods, transmission lines, front struts upper bushings(spring seats), front sway bar links, a/c lines, evac and recharged a/c, battery. I replaced many of the parts because I came across great discounted parts (oem). Timing belt has two years or 30k left, I have replaced all the fluids, four wheel alignment, the tires have about 80% life they are Michelins directional tires (great in rain and quiet), the transmission was replaced at 65k w/ a oem trans not a rebuilt (trans line was torn and leaked out atf and was ran low on fluid) and shifts properly. The brakes perform properly no squeaks, or vibrations, the suspension is tight there is no loose play in any of components NO fluid leaks, a/c blows cold, heat blows hot, premium sound system oem. Everything works in and out of the Volvo no surprises every switch, bulb, solenoid. The rear windows are tinted and keep the interior cool on hot days, the interior is in great shape leather and suede in good condition normal wear and tear no rips or wholes except for the rear cargo area the carpet is warn (used w/o a rubber mat) a mat will cover the area (see pic), third row seating, dog cargo net, the body is in great shape no prior accidents (CLEAN CARFAX) normal wear and tear a couple small dents but the body is still pretty straight for being a 1998 vehicle, there is a spot of surface rust only on the rear left wheel panel (see pic) I was quoted $175 for repair no rust anywhere else, I would give the body a 8 out of 10, the paint still shines like new. I have drove this R to Orlando and Denver in the past year w/ no issues. PLEASE EMAIL W/ ANY QUESTIONS

Volvo prices revamped 2014 lineup
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Volvo has made quite a few changes to its US lineup for the 2014 model year. The C30 hatchback and C70 convertible are gone; the S60, S80, XC60 and XC70 have all been reschnozzed; and in a few months, Volvo will bring its V60 wagon across the pond for Stateside consumption. Only the range-topping XC90 carries on unchanged, though a brand new version is expected to launch sometime next year.
The S60 starts as low as $32,400 for the entry level T5 model, and reaches as high as $45,700 for the T6 R-Design Platinum trim. The larger S80 sedan starts at $39,900, with its range-topping T6 Platinum version commanding $48,150. XC70 pricing ranges anywhere from $34,500 for the 3.2 FWD to $45,650 for the T6 Platinum, XC60 numbers span from $34,850 to $49,800, and XC90 prices start as low as $39,700 and as high as $45,400. None of these prices include $895 for destination, and pricing for the swoopy V60 wagon has not been released just yet.
While the majority of Volvo's 2014 model year enhancements are visual, some neat updates have been made mechanically, as well. There's a new Advanced Quick Shift mode for the six-speed automatic transmission that's paired with the turbocharged six-cylinder engine, and Volvo says that the S60 R-Design will now scoot to 60 miles per hour two-tenths of a second quicker (5.3 versus 5.5). In the XC60 R-Design, AQS improves 0-60 acceleration by four-tenths of a second, down to 6.2 from 6.6 seconds.
Volvo XC40 delayed because it's too big for its own good?
Thu, 11 Jul 2013As fuel prices rise and greenhouse gases poke holes in the ozone, big, gas-guzzling sports utility vehicles are becoming less popular as smaller, cleaner vehicles, such as crossovers, gain market share. Volvo is late to the small crossover party, though it wants to build the XC40 crossover to compete with the Land Rover Evoque. The only problem with that, Autocar reports, is that a suitable (read: small enough) platform for it is up to five years away, despite a hopeful photos of it in testing guise.
Volvo is currently developing a new platform, called SPA (Scaleable Platform Architecture), to underpin its next-generation of vehicles, such as the 2014 XC60 pictured above and the S60 sedan, which is likely the smallest vehicle that would be able to use the new platform. Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be a quick fix for the gaping hole in Volvo's lineup, and Geely, the Chinese budget car manufacturer that owns Volvo, is reportedly preparing to launch a mid-market brand that may or may not be sold outside of China.
Can't Swedish car manufacturers catch a break?
Volvo's plan for China: sell them on the clean air inside the car
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Large Chinese cities aren't known for having clean air. Just this week, the Chinese city of Harbin filled with record levels of smog after starting the city's coal-fired heating system, according to CNN. But Li Shufu, the chairman of Geely, Volvo's parent company, says the automaker's astute attention to cabin comfort in areas such as air filtration is a selling point for the Swedish automaker in China, Forbes reports.
Shufu says when he is inside a Volvo, he feels like he's in Northern Europe, but when the door is opened, he feels like he's in Beijing. The chairman made the remarks at the fourth annual Global Auto Forum (GAF) in China (which also happened to be attended by Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford, which was Volvo's owner until 2010), where he emphasized Geely's hands-off approach to managing Volvo, saying, "Geely and Volvo are brothers, not father and son."
While good filtration contributes to cabin comfort, the way we see it, Shufu also is allowing Volvo to play to its most well-known strength: safety. Smog protection via air filtration might not seem like the most important safety feature for a car in the US (unless you live in Los Angeles), but when you consider that Harbin's level of fine particles was up to 30 times higher than the World Health Organization's recommended standard on Tuesday, we'd think twice about that. Fine particles, which are 2.5 micrometers in diameter or less, are considered to be the most harmful to health.
