Vehicle Detail
This is probably the NICEST 2000 S40 specimen that I've ever had! Absolutely gorgeous. The car REEKS of one ownership. If you've been missing my others or just holding out for a nicer model (???) then your wait it over. Seriously. If I needed to be in a 9.5 out of 10 appearance driver with specific options, this would be my choice. Low miles. Cloth seats but with the sunroof. ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING. Everything works. Clearly Dealer Serviced throughout. And aside from a tiny spot, NO RUST! Even the rear license plate frame is clean! Body is easily a 9+ out of 10. Minimal minimal scratches. ALL easily buffed out if desired. I can barely count on one hand any dings. ZERO dents. No signs of bodywork or major repairs. Front bumper looks great with minimal rockchips and scratches. No damages holes or cracks. Rear bumper looks brand new....possible repaint it looks so good. Hood, trunk and roof are excellent with only minor light stains here and there from age....again....buff away. Below matching Continental (dealer issued usually) tires have at least 60% tread left. Left rear is a nearly new off brand tire. Must have had a blowout during a roadtrip that it didn't go to the dealer. All tires ride on damage free vibrationless wheels. Above is the little spot o' rust....bubbles and VERY typical for these S40s since there were no mudflaps present. As you can see, the color is that gray-purple. NO....not Prince Purple Rain purple with chunky sparkles! It's more like a tint of it. Wineberry on the purple side. Grape? Similar as the color of this text? The car looks Charcoal Gray at night and looks amazing at all hours. Look at the reflection! Seriously...I just rinsed the car off. Wiped it down to dry. Vinyl looks awesome. Note the new rear tire. Bumper is flawless. Interior is also a 9+ out of 10 all day long. Light remnants of stains in the cloth seating up front. No holes, cuts or tears. Driver's bolster is MINT. Rear seating looks barely sat on. Feel free to eat off the carpeting. Clean. I hate smoke and I don't see or smell any signs of a former smoker. EVERYTHING power works as it should. Windows, mirrors, climate control, ICE COLD A/C, locks, cruise, CD/radio. sunroof, etc. Even the power antenna works! Below you can see...NO dummy lights illuminated while running and all works upon startup. It had a code with the check light on when I picked up the car. Reference to the Cam Timing Solenoid, which is pretty typical on these cars. I cleared it and it hasn't been on since and I've driven about 100 miles under numerous startups. Fluke from sitting?? No worries. Factory Volvo floormats are included. Unseen in the fully intact spare setup. Sorry no manuals. Car comes with one key and one working keyfob. Last but not least, the fine engine compartment. Engine starts up perfectly and effortlessly with the Factory replacement Volvo battery. Runs perfectly with the recently replaced Volvo dealer timing belt(99k miles). Spark plugs are fresh. Air filter is clean. Doesn't leak a drop of oil or coolant. No overheating. Transmission shifts as it should every time. All fluids are clean and most likely recently changed. CV shafte and Suspension are tight and noise-free. No unusual wandering or pulling and smooth at any speeds. Brakes are recently serviced from the Dealer with Volvo components! Smooth strong and pulse free! I have literally only one issue to address. The motor mounts. Typical for these to wear over time, the IDLE ONLY suffers from worn mounts. Not horrible, but a light idle only vibration is evident after the car warms up. There are 3 main mounts. The passenger side looks fine so I'd address the front and rear lowers. These are only about $50 a piece on ebay(item#310395459017) and about an hours work thru your trusted mechanic. Or...just leave it for a while and drive drive drive this beauty!! Volvo tires. Volvo battery. Volvo filters. Volvo timing belt and tag. Just the way you want it and justlikenew2u! BID BUY AND DRIVE ANYWHERE WITH 100% CONFIDENCE! No worries. NO RESERVE! Good luck! DO NOT MISS THIS ONE....again. 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 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.
