I don't know how I managed to get ahold of another amazing Volvo, but here you go!!! A true ONE OWNER car! I understand if you are hesitant about buying a 15 year old car....but 85k miles?!? That's less that 6k miles a year! Where the heck has this thing been stashed for all these years??? Who cares!! It's here now for sale at NO RESERVE!!! Did you know that nearly EVERY movie uses a Volvo?? Never noticed?? You will now! The exterior is easily an 8 out of 10....deduction mostly for the rock chips/bumper cover spots front and rear....and literally a handfull of dings (see below pics for locations). The vinyl around the body is perfect and NOT sun faded like most. ZERO visible rust. I'm no bodyman, but there seems to be no bodywork or prior damages. Minimal scratches....way less than expected for a car of this age. I just returned with it from my professional detailer and the original paint shines like new. Car is clean and waxed and ready to go. No mechanical issues. Truly needs nothing. I'm currently driving this car and have logged well over 200 miles with no issues to speak of. I've enjoyed 25+ MPG on my errands. Starts, runs, shifts, drives quiet and perfect. Turbo is strong and power is smooth. No noises. No pulling. No wandering. No complaints. Tires are matching Michelin Pilots(Dealer Brand) all the way around. Plenty of tread left on all wheels as if they were (gasp) rotated on schedule! No major damages on the vibration free rims. Yes these are the GLT style rims which are 15 inchers (Turbo-only rims were 16" normally). This saves you money when replacing tires later on!! Below the sunroof as ALL the power items work flawlessly. This car reaks of Volvo Tech servicing. The ONLY way you get a newer car is to buy new! Volvos under 100k and under the year 2000 are getting harder to come by....don't let this one get away!!! Above and below you can see the minor paint scrapes on the bumper cover. No holes. No cuts, tears, cracks, or damages....just nicks. Easily touch them up. You can see the tires are nice here too. Don't forget the Turbo wing! Nice addition. Above and below you can see I TRIED to point out the flaws....pretty hard....but they are there. Above there are actually 3 but nearly impossible to catch via camera. Basically one is a ding and the other on the right is a crease that carries in 2 spots. Again....minor but I point them out as if you are standing here with me. Below is the ding on the front fender. Not a new show car, but very typical parking lot stuff here. No worries!! The interior is even nicer than the exterior! Easily a 9.5 out of 10. The CD/TAPE player isn't even worn!! It also has the CD Changer in the trunk option! EVERYTHING comes with this car!!! Below the driver's and passenger's seats are nearly perfect with only a little wear in the bolster area. No cuts, rips, tears or damages. HEATED seats work perfectly as do the power portions. Above you can see ALL the dummy lights illuminate as they should upon startup. Only the "ABS/Trac" lights were randomly on during run. This is a common issue with the 850 an 70 series line....BUT!!!...I have the fix!! I've performed this on many of the S70/V70/C70s in the past and am doing it on this car as well....long story short, the ABS module needs to be opened up and re-soldered. Apparently Volvo messed this up during the build process. I'm fixing it for NO WORRIES for you! So....no lights on otherwise and there won't be when I'm finished. As stated ALL the power items like cruise, windows, sunroof, mirrors, heated seats, winter/sport/economy transmission modes, radio, info panel etc, work as they should! Below you may notice the nice matching factory floormats, the factory CD CHANGER (no cartridge tho).....and..... .....the complete spare setup!!! Now you're saying..."So what...it's a spare tire"....yes it is....BUT....it's NEVER been used!!! Nipples are still on it!!! It's so clean on and in the storage area, you can eat off it!!! Very unusual. Base manuals....3 Keys!! 2 Remotes!! One works, the other probably needs a battery. Below are shots of the super clean engine compartment. No signs of ANY oil or coolant leaks. Recent BOSCH battery and alternator. Oil is CLEAN as new. Engine fires up and runs perfect. I inspected the timing belt and it's fine, but mileage says it's time to change it, so I'm including a VOLVO piece at no charge! All you need to do is have it installed when you are ready. Air filter is clean. Air conditioning pump kicks on, but may need a recharge come spring. Seriously....as most my cars...this one no different....BID BUY AND DRIVE ANYWHERE WITH 100% CONFIDENCE!! If you have any questions or concerns, please email me and I'll provide my phone #. Since this is a fresh trade-in, I do not have the title in my hands at this moment. I understand this may worry some. Not a problem. Most likely, by the time this car is ready for pickup, I will have it. If not, I will provide you with a copy of MY driver's license....and you will also be picking the car up from my personal shop property(so you will know my location at all times and where I'm at). You will receive the car, keys and paperwork and I will NEXT DAY AIR you the title upon receipt. Or...the car can sit here at my shop until it arrives at no extra cost to you (don't forget deposit and payments are still due at posted times). Not a problem....it's the holiday soon anyway. Again....I'm only disclosing the possibility....there is NOTHING wrong with the title. Just takes a few days to get it from the larger car dealerships I'm issued cars from. Check my excellent feedbacks....no worries! Venue of sale is Will County, Illinois. ALL BUYERS are responsible for $99 DOC fee. ALL ILLINOIS BUYERS responsible for 7% sales tax, $99 License Plate fee (or $30 current valid plate transfer fee), $95 Title fee. ALL COOK COUNTY (Chicago area) BUYERS responsible for 8.25% sales tax. There are about 8 other states that I (unfortunately) have to collect tax....but it's usually at a discount vs. regular in state. Vehicle is sold AS-IS/AS-SHOWN with no warranty expressed or implied. Please follow deposit and payment instructions posted. Cash is King! After full payment is made, you will receive vehicle (as shown/stated in this ad), title, associated paperwork and key(s). Please email or call regarding out of state pickup at local train station (Union Station-Joliet, IL) or closest airport (Midway-Chicago-MDW). I will happily assist in pickup for a fee to cover my time and fuel costs. On Nov-20-11 at 13:09:31 PST, seller added the following information: I had and email on this...don't know why I didn't address this before, but the brakes are damn near new as well on this car! Work perfectly and will easily throw you thru the dash if needed! Seriously....the car needs nothing! GOOD LUCK!
