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.

Volvo to unveil permanent high-beam headlamp technology [w/video]

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Volvo will be showing off its Active High Beam technology at the Geneva Motor Show next week. The system will allow drivers to use their high beams all the time and adds another responsibility to the cameras mounted by the rearview mirror, making them detect traffic ahead, whether it be another car or a truck or motorcycle and in the same lane or oncoming. When a vehicle is detected, a special projector in the Xenon lamps can block out only the portion of the high beam that would impair the other driver. Volvo says the system is accurate down to a 1.5-inch margin around another object.
Active High Beam will be fitted to the Volvo S60, V60 and XC60 and we have to assume they mean the non-US versions of those cars. Audi has a similar technology that it calls "matrix beam lighting," and due to the way the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard code is written, such active control of high beams is verboten on cars sold here.
The Swedish brand also plans to present a collision-avoidance technology it's calling a "world-first." The press release below has more information and the accompanying video demonstrates the lighting tech.

Volvo XC40 delayed because it's too big for its own good?

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

As 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 previews Concept XC Coupe ahead of Detroit reveal [w/video]

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Volvo is in the midst of a three-stage design revolution. The first stage came with the reveal of the Concept Coupe in Frankfurt just this past September. What you see here is our first glimpse at the second stage.
The Volvo Concept XC Coupe previewed here will be unveiled in full on January 8 in advance of the Detroit Auto Show. While the previous concept was all sleek, the Concept XC Coupe takes a more rugged, utilitarian approach with a hatchback roofline, higher ride height, knobbier tires, lower body cladding and a rooftop box. From what we can see, it looks like a cross between the previous concept and an XC70 wagon that could preview a soft-road replacement for the C30 hatchback.
That's about all there is to say at this point, but you can scope out the press release along with the video below and the trio of teaser images in the gallery above.
