It pains me to say this, but the time has come to offer my trusty 2000 Volvo V70 for sale. I say this knowing that I've never seen, and never will get a chance to own another Volvo quite like this one. This Nautic Blue V70 is a non turbo, manual transmission-equipped car with the SE pack, sporting heated leather seats, a moonroof, and a list of other desirable equipment. If you're a Volvo enthusiast, you'll really appreciate the upgrades and maintenance that has been done on this car throughout its life. We've owned this car for nearly three years and 60,000 miles after purchasing it from a dealer that specializes in Volvos, and have always made sure the car stayed running and looking great. Included with the car is a large stack of receipts of various maintenance and services performed throughout our ownership, as well as a well-kept maintenance log and the original window sticker. Outside, the car looks quite good for its age, and now is free of any chips or dings on most of the exterior, thanks to recent paintwork. Someone keyed what was the "B+" condition original paintwork on both sides, so I had my insurance take care of the repairs at a premium auto body shop here in SF (I have photos before and after if necessary.) The car has never been in an accident and retains all of its original panels. The Nautic Blue paint shines nicely, and I try to keep it waxed and clean regularly. I've trusted this Volvo with getting me to work, through night classes and graduation, on several east-coast road trips, and eventually, across the country with my life in cargo. We drove this Volvo from New Jersey to California last year when we moved, and relied on it to get us started here in San Francisco. I had the car smog tested and registered in California a couple months ago, and have maintained it with local mechanics and a Volvo specialist. Berkeley Bob's, a local Volvo indie shop, recently serviced this car, replacing an oxygen sensor and a PCV hose. There is a SRS code present for the passenger side SIPS airbag, but I haven't had that replaced. The car is sitting on 17-inch OEM Volvo S80 "Arrakis" wheels with brand new Falken Ziex-912 tires. I installed this wheel and tire combo 800 miles ago. Other noteworthy maintenance during my ownership includes: -Timing belt & waterpump @ 180k-New Falken Tires & Arrakis S80 wheels (1k ago)-New Bilstein hd shocks, struts, mounts & springs-New CA compliant cat, 02 sensor, VIVA CBE-New Accessory belt and tensioner-New Alternator and battery-New windshield-New Master window Switch cluster-4 new brake rotors, calipers, SS lines, and hard lines in the rear-New e brake hardware, shoes, etc-New Rensi all weather mats-New engine, trans, pitch stop mounts-New upper, lower rad hoses oil cooler hoses and clamps-New axles, control arms, tie rod inner and outer, and end links-XC70 grille-New clutch, DMS flywheel, clutch line, and slave cyl at 200k I've probably dropped $8000 in parts, repairs, upgrades, etc into this car over the past 2 1/2 years, and it shows. I have complete documentation and an overflowing file of parts receipts for what I have into this car, including the original window sticker and an obsessively-maintained service records booklet. The car was originally delivered to Volvo Corporate in New Jersey and driven by the same owner to 179,000 miles, where I stepped in. *Note: I will include a compilation of various spare parts and accessories with the car, but the bike racks are staying for my other car. This car runs, drives, steers and stops as it should. All power equipment is in working order. Items like the factory stereo and A/C system are all in good nick. Interior is cleaned regularly with Lexol and is smoke-free. I've put in the money and time to take care of this car during my ownership, but no longer need the car. This is a chance to own a rare-optioned V70 with all of the costly maintenance done. I've purchased an AWD vehicle to take to Lake Tahoe for the weekends, as I don't need a commuter car anymore and cannot park two cars in the city. Please ask all questions before auction end. A non-refundable deposit is due shortly after auction end, and full payment must be made within 7 days of listing end. Car must be picked up within 10 days of auction end. I would be willing to help with arrangements or meet your shipping company, but all payments must clear or be cash in hand before the vehicle leaves. This vehicle is also offered for local sale. Interested parties can reach me by phone for questions at 609-276-9843. I reserve the right to end listing at any time if the vehicle is sold. Thanks for looking, and happy bidding!On May-28-14 at 23:14:33 PDT, seller added the following information: I should mention, the vehicle does feel a bit sluggish to me since installing a California catalytic converter. If the car is going to live outside California, I'd go back to a 49 state cat ASAP to restore performance.
