Vehicle Detail
Up for auction is a RARE Saffron orange 1998 Volvo V70R According Volvo North America this was 1 of 113 saffron wagons imported into the United States that year, making this a rare and desired car. This car was the top of the line Volvo wagon in 1998. It has all the power options like all wheel drive, suede and leather interior, and a 6 disc cd changer. This wagon is the best of all worlds. It's great in the snow, has a ton of room and is good on gas, unlike most SUVs. However, if you want the power of a sports car, this wagon has you covered. Where else can you get these options rolled into one package? The R types came equipped with the high pressure turbo and produces 245 horsepower. I have recently done a lot of repairs on this vehicle:New upper engine mount bushingOil cap gasketNew radiator hosesNew check valve for the emissions pumpAlternator rebuilt (not some cheap aftermarket one)New serpentine beltIdler and tensionerNew front brakes4 new tires (10K miles ago)New Volvo fuel pumpTiming belt (done 30K miles ago)This car runs and drives great. Everything seems to be in working order except for a few small things: the radio works but something seems to be wrong with the CD changer, the AC doesn't get cold (may just need a charge), and the fuel gauge isn't working and will eventually need a sending unit. Overall this car is in nice shape for its age and is a good running car. This is a rare car you just don't see everyday, especially in Saffron. So, don't let this one get away. I haven't seen one for sale on Ebay in a few months. If you have any questions regarding this car please feel free to contact me. Also this car is being re-listed because the winning bidder was from Canada and was having trouble importing the car. So here is your second chance if you missed it the first time.
