Vehicle Detail
This auction is for a 2000 Volvo S80. I purchased this vehicle in 2007 with just under 80K miles on it and have used it regularly for the past six years. These transmissions are known to be mediocre at best and this one started shifting rough at around 100K miles. It made it another 125.7K miles before it finally gave up. The other day when it happened, it only had reverse and second gear. The message board said "Service transmission - Urgent"! It sat for the past two days and I just tested it again, it shifted from 1st gear all the way through 3rd with no problem but wouldn't go into overdrive. I would consider the transmission to need a total rebuild or replacement. The motor still runs as strong as it ever has but it does have over 225,000 miles on it - they are a very impressive 6 cylinder. When the transmission went, the message board displayed the service message, the warning triangle on the dash lit up and the check engine light came on. I believe the check engine light came on since the engine and transmission are all one unit. The interior is in decent shape but the leather shows wear. I don't believe there are any rips but look at the pictures - what you see is what you get. The body is in decent shape without any major dents or rust but the clearcoat started peeling off the hood and the top of the front left fender a couple years ago. I spray painted it which looked good for a while but now it just looks like flat black primer. The tires are in good shape with roughly 20K miles on them. This car just had the oil changed and passed a Virginia state inspection two weeks ago. Please take a good look at the pictures so you know what you're bidding on as this is an as-is auction. Shipping, or getting the car to wherever you're taking it, is the responsibility of the new owner. I will be happy to assist as I can to make it easy on you but it is your responsibility. Please ask all questions prior to bidding. Thanks for looking.
