The best 2000 V70R in the world..

Post by JRL »

Probably too pricey for here but...
I'm considering selling my R, my email is in my signature at the bottom.

This R is most probably the lowest mileage 2000 V70R in the world, 34,000 miles.

If not the lowest, one of the lowest three, but I personally know of no others and none in this condition.
Virtually flawless, one or two 1/8" marks here and there but that's about it.
They would have to be pointed out as nothing is obvious.
I do not drive it very much and my life is going through some changes right now, hence this post.
Originally a TX car, stored for six years, it has NEVER, EVER been in snow or salt.
For the last two and a half years and since I've owned it, it has been put away Dec 1st and not brought outside until April 1st or so.
Been stored in a heated, climate controlled garage, even the calipers are still anodized!
It was found by another Volvo forum member, he bought it for himself but decided it was too nice to be a daily driver so he called me to see if I wanted it! Well duh! The check was there in a heartbeat :)
Rear spoiler and 3 Ch. Dolby
Original cargo cover, never used. Removed the day I got it

It has a handful of tasteful mods.
17" IPD Nebula replicas in perfect condition, straight and not curbed.
I have a 5th (in a different color, Hyper Black, but new) that will go with this car.
BRAND NEW (300 or so miles, installed 10/2011) Conti DWS 215/45/17's
Volvo Euro 440 side markers
35% tint all around
Aluminum door pins
The entire rear area and all doors are fully Dynamatted and I found the last set of optional Dyanaudio speakers in the US, (list was over $1400 and what a difference!!!)
Sound is awesome :thumbup:
IPD sway bars and HD links and
the LAST set of real Euro Jewel headlights ever to be sold in the US ($900)! plus US clear corners
EST dual exhaust.
K&N drop in air filter
Mobil 1 since the second owner at 20,000 miles changed every 3000 miles New rear pads and rotors
Front pads are still at 7/32" but I have a set of OEM pads that will be included with the car plus some NOS trim parts, (new aluminum center stack and console trim pieces)
There are a couple of very small marks on the ones in the car so I bought these when they were still available, these are impossible to buy new now!
The original 16" Satellites will NOT come with this one, they are on my wife's V70R and staying there.
A very small satellite radio, an XM Commander is installed where the ashtray used to be with a USA SPEC unit handling the sound, very unobtrusive.
If desired the satellite can be removed and the USA SPEC used as an Ipod converter, works for both.
Add on lower lip
XC grill
Since I just decided to post this I only have a couple of pictures and will take some more.
Oh, I have removed the propshaft since I don't need AWD and decided to not abuse the entire AWD system for no reason, obviously it will be put back on before delivery.
(Nothing is wrong with anything).
I have not yet put a firm price on what is surely a collector Volvo but it will not be cheap, mid to higher "teens
VIN:YV1LV60D9Y2641727
Just shot a few shots. WAY too sunny but you get the idea

Forgot, the timing belt was done at 24k for time (9 years).
I actually have a SC901 remote control too!
Aluminum door pins and I'm sure I still forgot a few other things

Very nice R! Can I ask why you say it is a sure collector? Is it because of the miles or is there something about the options or build of this R that makes it that? Just wondering as I am not that up on the x70 cars and this sounds to have a big price tag.

Either way, good luck on the sale!
1995 850 T5-R ~192k miles

Only 500 or so built to begin with, that's less than a Ferrari 458 Italia or (pick any year) Porsche Turbo.
Top of the Volvo line
So.. it's rare and none left anywhere with these low miles and in this perfect condition.

If this were a 1995 Yellow 850T5R, (they made 100 of those and highly sought after), in the same condition, with the same miles, it would cost over 20K!

That makes sense, I figured it was something like that plus all your cars are always top notch anyway!

And I am familiar with the T5-R, I have a yellow sedan but not even close to this nice... :-)

Yeah those are quite a bit more rare than the sedan. I think only ~35 made it to the states if I remember correctly out of that 100 or so
