I don't know HOW I'm lucky enough to get em.....but here's ANOTHER 1 owner car!! Definitely somebody's baby. Superbly maintained. Oh...and NO RESERVE! You missed out on the last one and THIS one is nicer. Don't do it again. Yes, I know the miles are up there, but, as I ALWAYS say "there's a reason it made it to this point, proper servicing!" Below you can see the body is in excellent condition. Easily an 8+ out of 10. Minimal rock chips to the nose and hood areas. Excellent shine looks like a mirror. Vinyl trim even kept it's color. I'm not a Red fan but this car looks G-O-O-D, GOOD! I'm pretty positive I can hardly count on one hand the amount of dings on the car. Driver's side is gorgeous. Tires are all matching Kuhmo with 70+% up front and 60+% in the rear. All ride on super clean undamaged rims that are also vibration free at any speeds. Hood and roof shine justlikenew2u! Above you can see teeny tiny rust spot but more like paintflake leaving the metal exposed kind. These cars are notorious for rust behind the front wheels. This car is clean and rust free! Above and below...if you stare very hard, the corner under the tailight and bumper corner have been repainted. Not pofessionally. Most likely the original owner tryin his/her best to keep it clean and looking great. Points for effort. Basically an OK bondo/spray paint job to cover up a corner biff...hide the dent. The paint on the bumper is a little off color otherwise hardly noticable. Rear cover has the typical chips but no damages or holes. And....above you can see the final noticable rust spot. Literally the size of a dime. Below there is clearcoat peel. Which got me thinking to inspect this area. Which led me to see the right front fender was repainted and this door blended. If not for this clear peeling, I promise you, the paint matches so well, I can't notice the work!! But I'm no bodyman. I don't see any signs of a former accident. Since these cars rust at the lower fender portion (where my finger is) from no mudflaps to save the fenders, I'm going with a minor repaint to fix a former rust area?? "A" for effort for sure! One hand....count the dings. Seriously. Interior??? I'd give it a 10 out of 10 but I don't want to have you crawl in the car on your hands and knees under the seat...then pull out a 3 year old french fry and say "Ha HAAAaa!!". So it get a 9+ out of 10!! No cracks or damages anywhere. Cloth is perfect with no visible signs of wear, tear stains, etc. Driver's bolster is excellent. I HATE smoke and don't see or smell any signs of a former smoker. Smells like a Volvo, actually. You will see. Steering wheel doesn't have any wear. Above you can see there aren't any dummy lights one while running and ALL come on during startup below. No lights were on when I acquired the car, either. The only thing I can complain about is the ashtray cover doesn't stay closed. Heavy use from plug-in chargers and the like, I'm sure. From what I can tell, ALL the power items work as they should, AM/FM/Tape player, cruise, power windows, mirrors, HEATED seats, ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING, hot heat, climate control, etc. Full factory issed floormats are included. Unseen is the complete proper spare tire setup, aired up and ready for your roadtrip home. The flipping CUPHOLDER is still intact!! A 32oz frostie usually takes the bottom off these over the years!! Below you can see the full compliment of factory manuals. Only one key and one working keyfob are included. Open the hood to reveal a compartment clean enough to eat off of! I dont have a definitive date, but my estimations show the timing belt to have been replaced about 30-40k miles ago putting the next change well into it's next century range. Engine fires up easily with the super strong recent Interstate battery. Engine is smooth and quiet. No noises or heavy vibrations. Spark plugs are great. Oil is spotless. Coolant is clean and there is no overheating. Transmission operates as it should in every gear, in any mode. Turbo spools up properly with no noises. Nice smooth power. Brakes are very recent, very strong and smooth with no pulsing or grinding. Exhaust is quiet. Suspension is quiet and noise free. No rattles, pops or squeaks. No unusual pulling or wandering while driving at any speeds. AIR CONDITIONING IS ICE COLD!! I don't see any signs of any major oil or coolant leaks. No spots on my shop floor overnight. All lighting and exterior items work as they should. Even has the factory 2000 only plastic engine trim covers in place! This car is original and nearly clean as the day it was new and you can buy it with NO RESERVE!! Inspect my excellent feedbacks. BID, BUY, and DRIVE ANYWHERE with 100% CONFIDENCE!! 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. There are many great affordable aftermarket warranty companies out there that will warranty nearly anything. Use them. 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. Like most Americans, I still can't afford a new car. I regularly 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 MUST 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. 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 185k miles(which I just roadtripped 1500miles) and I personally drove a 98 S70 with 220k miles(which I just sold)! Many of my personal friends drive cars that I have sold them. My best friend is on his 5th from me. 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 (like using Bill Me Later or Credit Cards) and I will assist when possible.
