Vehicle Detail

Did you know nearly every movie has a Volvo in it? Never noticed?? You will now! I don't normally enjoy starting off my ad on a bad note.....but as you can see, the front nose is damaged. I didn't even bother trying to find a replacement but I'm sure you can easily find a 98-00 S70 or V70 in silver in a local junkyard. I've seen em but haven't had the time to look. I personally would just leave it and drive the car! If you need a 2nd car or teenage driver vehicle, THIS IS IT! Non-turbo "base" model (with leather, sunroof,AC and heated seats!) for cheap insurance and 25-30mpg! As far as the rest of the car's appearance is concerned, it's in very nice condition. A few touched up spots on the hood. Rear bumper cover has been touched up to hide the many nicks but there are no damages to be found on the rest of the car. Absolutely zero visible rust anywhere on the exterior. Of course there are frontal rock chips and only a handfull of dings with no dents to be found. What's nice about silver is that dings are very hard to see yet the car looks superb! Tires are easily 80% tread left. Fronts are matching Bridgestone knockoffs and the rears a recent Toyos. Rims, altho scrubbed up a bit, are vibration free even at 80mph! Below you can see the sunroof operates as it should. If you look closely, you can see the touchups. No cuts or holes and still looks fine. Notice the tag around the exhaust tip. The ENTIRE exhaust from the converter back was recently replaced! For some reason the flexpipe wasn't as there is some sort of aluminum tape neatly wrapped around it. It doesn't leak or make noise so it worked!! No worries. No engine lights. Interior is nice as well....easy 8 out of 10. No rips or holes in the leather. Driver's bolster looks great with little wear. ALL power items work as they should with the exception of the cruise. Usually a broken wire in the turn signal arm that can be fixed at home in a little time. Heated seats. AM/FM/CD. Sport/Economy/Winter transmission modes. TRAC control and ABS. ICE COLD AIR conditioning will freeze your face off! Windows and locks work with only the right rear door unlock being finnicky. Seems to be an original NON-Smoker car. I hate smoke and didn't find any signs of ashes. Ashtray is spotless! Absolutely no dummy lights on during run and ALL light up during startup! I've logged over 300miles on this car to ensure it's reliability. Full factory floormats are included. Unseen is the factory spare setup intact and ready for your trip home. Full factory manuals are included along with one factory key and a beatup keypad which needs a battery. Radio code card. Below you can see the super clean engine compartment. Recent AC Delco battery. NEW NGK spark plugs. Engine oil is clean, but I think the oil change place put in 5w-30, after the engine warms up, there is a little upper valvetrain chatter. Not bad, but noticable. I'd hate to ditch the oil because it's SOooo clean and fresh right now. You can't put such thin oil in on a high mile car like this. Just be sure to use 10w-40 next change and I ALWAYS add the Lucas Oil Stabilizer with my changes! Worth every penny in security! As you can see, the timing belt tag shows Volvo servicing. The belt was changed at about 89k, which leaves the current belt with about 20k miles or so left. I've inspected the belt and it looks fine, as does the waterpump. Transmission fluid looks justlikenew2u! Spotless. Absolutely no signs of any oil or coolant leaks, either. Ice Cold Air. No overheating. Front brakes look to be about 80%. Rears are about 30% left with a tiny bit of pulse. Zero suspension squeaks or rattles. Right front tie rod end looks new as is the left front wheel bearing and CV shaft. Air filter is recent as well. Someone cared for the car properly. For the records, I did remove former Volvo spark plugs from the car. This car is a true BID BUY AND DRIVE ANYWHERE WITH 100% CONFIDENCE car! Inspect my excellent feedbacks! No Worries. NO RESERVE!! GOOD LUCK!! I apologize in advance if I sound like I'm scolding....but this NEEDS to be said. This vehicle is AS-IS/AS-SHOWN. The vehicle is in Illinois being sold by a dealer. WE CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE for your individual state's "inspection" or emissions compliance. I am simply trying to offer you and possibly your family a quality reliable vehicle. 690,000 cars were pulled from our roads during the Cash For Clunkers "program"....like most Americans, I still can't afford a new car and now have to sell(and drive)from what's left. I sell $3000-$6000 vehicles...all types and mostly what I would personally drive or own. I don't know if you are buying down the street or in Virginia or California...so I HAVE to make our cars ready for the road trip. I don't know who will be driving the car....so I HAVE to make it ready for your teen or your job in the morning. I can only promise I do the BEST that I can with what I have and what I sell. My EXCELLENT FEEDBACKS prove it. I'm not here to rip people off. I'm also here to help so feel free to contact me after purchase for anything....or even if you have any questions about a future purchase. Also, understand that I spend many countless hours (inspecting, repairing, cleaning, taking pics and writing specific personal ads) for everything I sell...not to mention the $125 sell fee that is charged to me at the end. Please don't jack around if you don't plan to go thru with the purchase. Thanks for your understanding. Now you're at the bottom. Hopefully I've covered the main specifics of the vehicle and eased your mind. I understand that you are putting yourself or your loved ones in this vehicle. I personally have put my own mother in an 01 C70 with 175k miles and I personally drive a 98 S70 with 220k miles! Many of my personal friends drive cars that I have sold them. I treat you no different. If I haven't covered any of your questions or concerns, please feel free to email or call me at 815.744.7223. My name is Eric. Please understand that I have the right to end the auction early due to local sale. I STILL REQUIRE a $500 deposit to be made within 24hours. If you need to use Paypal, you MUST contact me and follow my specific deposit instructions for the non-refundable Paypal deposit payment. Paypal performs random funding "holds" (for a min of 21days to 180days) that only benefits them and does NOT protect my or your interests. Of course I understand each bidder/buyer has different payment needs. We work with you as much as possible regarding payment but CASH IS KING! Sorry....no financing is available on this transaction. Please secure your own from you bank of choice BEFORE bidding. Remember....24 hours $500 deposit due....3 days for payment in FULL. Naturally I will assist in ANY shipping needs! Thank you for your interest on this NO RESERVE auction! GOOD LUCK! 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.
