I have decided to sell my extremely nice, accident free 2004 Volvo V70R. The best part about this car is that I have already done all the big ticket maintenance items as you will see below. If you are looking at this ad, you know this is the rare 300hp Volvo with 4 piston Brembo brakes front/rear, incredibly comfortable sport seats and blue stitching throughout. I have owned it for a little over two years. It was my daily driver but I just purchased a 2003 BMW M5 to replace it.

I have kept the car in very nice shape. Paint is 9/10 and interior is 8.5/10. There are some minor dings and scratches here and there from age but it still has it's full gloss finish and all the paint is all original and very nice. 1 small ding above the gas door, 4 small marks in the rear bumper (pictured) and 2 small dings in the driver rear door. The main wear on the interior is the driver side bolster shown in the photos. The rear seat has some indentations and slight discoloring where there has been a carseat for my son but I think the leather will come back after it's been removed for a while.

It runs and drives wonderfully. The local Volvo dealer described it as the nicest and tightest VR they have worked on. I have done a whole lot of maintenance, most of which was done at Paul's Volvo in Richmond, VA and Mooer's Volvo in Midlothian, VA. I can provide receipts for the large ticket items. I have done regular oil changes with Mobil 1 syntec and I keep my cars very nice.

The car does have a few tasteful modifications. No engine or spring/shock suspension mods though.

The stereo has been upgraded and is absolutely spectacular. It is very clean and is hands down the best system I have heard. The speakers are all original as the VR came with 8" woofers in the front doors. I only added a Pioneer 7" touchscreen head unit with bluetooth, an Alpine digital mono amp with the single 12" JL Audio L7. A custom enclosure for the sub was made to fit the car and can easily be removed. The head unit panel was made to look OEM as well.

I added an IPD grill which I think cleans up the look. I still have the original grill which will come with the car. I also modified the headlights as I thought the output was terrible for HID. I custom fit Infinity projectors with Apollo shrouds. Not only did it improve the look of the car, but it greatly improved the output as well.

The only suspension alteration I made was to add a VIVA chassis brace. Anyone who has driven these cars will tell you of the annoying side hop over bumps on the highway. This drasically reduced that issue and can easily be removed if desired.

I also added new black floormats which keep it cleaner and in my opinion look better than the tan ones that were in there.

 Please feel free to contact me for any questions or additional images in high res. I have shipped several cars and would be happy to assist in finding a reasonably priced transport company but the buyer is responsible for the costs. I welcome anyone who wants to come inspect and/or drive the car as well.

Since I have owned the car, I have replaced the following:

Timing belt @ 90k

Trans flush and fluid change @ 90k

front brake pads and rotors @ 100k

all 4 sway bar end links @ 85k

Alternator @ 115k

Inner/outer tie rods with boots and alignment @ 115k

All 4 tires @ 110k

Steering line @115k

ABS computer @ around 110k

Front 4c shocks @ 85k

Upper engine mount bushing @95k

Trans mount bushing @ 95k


There are a few small issues that do need attention and are as follows.

Chip in the windshield (pictured)

The front passenger side strut accelerometer broke and therefore the whole shock needs to be replaced. It rides and drives fine but cannot go into sport mode. Mooer's Volvo confirmed this is the issue and therefore, a check suspension error will come on.

 Rear brakes only have about 3mm's left on the pads

Center console has the typical 04 problem with the finish showing age (pictured)

I will replace the shock and windshield at the buyer's expense if desired.


Here are some photos all of which were taken today on July 20th, 2014 @ 3pm.

Polestar looking to tune Volvo CUVs

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Volvo is getting serious about emerging from the fringes and into the mainstream of the luxury automobile market. But if it's going to challenge the Germans, it's going to need a performance line. And that's just what it's developing with Polestar.
Building on the motorsport partnership that has seen Polestar represent Volvo in the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship, World Touring Car Championship and V8 Supercars series, Polestar has been charged with developing road-going performance Volvos as well. It currently offers comprehensively tuned versions of the S60 and V60, as well as engine upgrades for other models, but the latest word has it that Polestar will turn its attention next to tuning Volvo crossovers like the XC60 and the new XC90, pictured above in top-spec R-Design trim.
Details on how Volvo would modify those models remain to be determined, but it wouldn't be much of a stretch to imagine the XC60 outfitted with similar enhancements to those offered on its sedan and wagon stablemates to mount a challenge to the Audi SQ5. As for the larger XC90, it seems Volvo is already squeezing as much out of its new 2.0-liter triple-charged inline-four as it can, but more aggressive handling, aero and brakes could stand to transform the flagship crossover in pursuit of performance utes like the Mercedes ML63 AMG and BMW X5 M, even if it couldn't quite match their impressive horsepower outputs.

Volvo Pure Tension concept folds solar charging pavilion into trunk

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Even by the 'anything-goes' standards of concept cars, this one is a head-spinner: the "Pure Tension" Volvo V60 Pavilion, commissioned by Volvo Italy and winner of the Pure Volvo Pavilion Design competition. The alien form seen hovering all over the rendered V60 is a pavilion, as in the kind erected for trade shows or outdoor events. Developed by Synthesis Design + Architecture, Buro Happold, and Fabric Images, the pavilion is a flexible mesh structure held in place by a carbon fiber rods.
What's more, the mesh is embedded with photovotaic cells so that the pavilion can absorb energy from the sun or indoor lighting, making it a portable charging station. It can power itself or the crossover, the V60 at the center of it all being a diesel hybrid that plugs straight into the pavilion. When it's time to go, the entire structure can be folded small enough to fit in the trunk of the car.
We're told it will be shown in September in Rome. Even if we never see this particular creation on the streets, it's comfortable proof that our future will eventually be wilder than we can imagine.

Next Volvo XC90 design teased

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

When Volvo took the wraps off its Concept Coupe yesterday, the Swedish automaker said that while "the all-new XC90 is an entirely different type of car, you will recognize the connection instantly when it is revealed next year." We raised our eyebrows at this upon first read, but after seeing these photos, posted on Feber.se, Volvo certainly wasn't joking.
During a press conference where the Concept Coupe debuted, teaser images of the next XC90 were shown, and the connection between it and the conceptual two-door are obvious. The long, T-shaped lighting elements in the slim headlamps are certainly the most noticeable tie between the two vehicles, but the angular lower fascia openings seen here can also be found quite prominently on the Concept Coupe.
Feber.se also has a few images showing the new taillamp and interior designs of the XC90, as well. And not surprisingly, those two facets of the new crossover's DNA are also surprisingly close to the elements found on the Concept Coupe. It's interesting to see how the concept's C-shaped taillamps have been massaged for the more upright design of the XC90's rump, and inside the cabin, it appears Volvo is serious about this vertically oriented infotainment display.
