Vehicle Detail
You missed out on the last one I sold. Probably over a few dollars. This one is nicer. Lower miles. Will you risk it again? Here's the Kelly Blue Book Value of the car in Private sale condition. It just gives you a baseline price in my area. Easily in GOOD condition. Use it and bid accordingly, I assure you others will! http://www.kbb.com/volvo/s40/2000-volvo-s40/sedan-4d/?vehicleid=7226&intent=trade-in-sell&mileage=103000&r=24881612766741056&pricetype=private-party#survey The goofy thing about Volvos, that I love, they come in ALL shapes, sizes, flavors, etc. Yet they still carry the same category, base, GLT, T5, XC, etc. This is one of those oddballs I love to sell. BASE standing yet have PLENTY of luxury requirements. I.E. keeps your insurance rates down while giving you OPTIONS! This car is in great shape! Yes it has some cuts and bruises, but all very typical and minor considering it's age. Perfect for that second car, work vehicle or teenage main driver! The front nose has some scrapes and typcical rockchips. Couple of dings in the hood around the grill. But still looks great! I'm no bodyman, but there doesn't seem to be any repaints or major body repairs. A few dings over the entire car, a couple tiny rust areas (mostly behind the front wheels due to no factory mudflaps) and no dents to be found. The matching Toyo tires look great and have plenty of tread left. Easily 70% left. All are on nice vibration free rims. Brakes are brand new in the rear and fronts are nearly new. If you look closely, you can see the crossdrilled/slotted rotors at every corner. Superb braking power! Paint shines nearly like new but could still use a professional buff/detail for that perfected look! You will enjoy every trip thru the carwash no matter. Front and rear bumper covers have seen better days. Both are free of any major damages but display a few nicks and scrapes. Vinyl looks good. No major cracks, damages or repairs to the covers. Here's a couple small trunk dings. Possibly dentbusted if desired. Yes there are some scratches. Nothing large enough to show via pictures from my camera. Most can easily be buffed out from a proper detail. Inspect the out of order pics below. Close-up shots of the small rust areas. NO HOLES. Only surface from the unprotected splash areas. Above right front. Below right rear. Below that, left front. Typical for these cars but very very little rust considering. Note the rear crossdrilled rotor and the nice shine! Notice even the front driving lights still work properly! Below you can see a better view of the hood dings I spoke of earlier. The interior steals the show for this car! Easily a 9 out of 10. I love the cloth interior on the Volvos! Leather is great, but when you have cloth AND ICE COLD AIR, AND no holes or damages?? Nothing else matters for your driving pleasure! Interior is super nice and complete. EVERYTHING power works, windows, mirrors (driver's side lens is loose and has a crack, but stays put), radio, locks, climate control, ICE COLD AIR, etc. Cruise turns on but does not consistently work. Most likely the signal stalk. You can get one for about $25 here on Ebay. Above and below you can see ALL the dummy lights illuminate with NONE on during run. I've logged a few hundred miles on this car with no issues. Below, the trunk is clean and tidy. The power antenna has been (typically) broken but still picks up stations. Replacement mast is about $16 from Volvo over the counter. Unseen is the complete spare setup intact and aired up for your trip home! Interior is super clean with only a few light fabric stains that are easily cleaned with some OXY. Car comes with a base manual, one key and one working keyfob only. Onto the meat and potatoes! The super clean engine compartment! I've installed and BRAND NEW Contitech Timing Belt. ZERO miles on it! This brand is the brand that most non-dealer Volvo shops (and your truly) use instead of the Volvo piece. From what I've learned, Continental makes the Volvo parts and rebadges them anyway. Spark plugs are new. Battery is very very recent and strong. Right front lower control arm/balljoint is brand new. Right outer CV HalfShaft is brand new(old boot was torn)!! As is the right upper strut mount! Air filter is clean. All fluids are clean. There is zero signs of any major oil or coolant leaks. Car starts up and runs perfectly. Drives straight and smooth with no unusual pulling or wandering. No unusual suspension noises. Turbo is strong, quiet and smooth. Transmission shifts properly. I've rehabbed the necessary items that the car needed at the proper service interval. This leaves you with NOTHING to worry about! Check my excellent feedbacks! BID BUY AND DRIVE ANYWHERE WITH 100% CONFIDENCE!! 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 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. Mostly what I would personally drive or own. I don't know if you are buying in my state 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(which I just roadtripped 1500miles) and I personally drove a 98 S70 with 220k miles(which I just sold-see POSITIVE feedback)! 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. Also 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. Use Paypal for the deposit please. Of course I understand each bidder/buyer has different payment needs. 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!

ALL ILLINOIS BUYERS responsible for 6.25% 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.
