Time for it to go: Most probably the best 2000 S70 GLT SE in the world... VERY expensive

Post by JRL »

MVS is probably the wrong site to advertise this, however here it is!

2000 S70 GLTSE. She's most likely the lowest mileage and the nicest one in the world... with collector status.

30,005 original miles

Below is the list of what I installed in the past 7 months and a slideshow

Slideshow:

List of recent work:

CHECKED OUT ENTIRE CAR VERY CAREFULLY
CHECKED ALL HOSES AND LINES, ANYTHING RUBBER AND ANYTHING THAT CAN FAIL OVER 17 YEARS WAS REPLACED.
NEW REAR LICENSE PLATE BRACKET AND EVEN THE MOUNTING BOLTS
COMPLETE VOLVO TIMING BELT KIT WITH BOTH TENSIONERS
TRANSMISSION FLUSH WITH MOBIL 3309
COOLANT FLUSH
BRAKE FLUID FLUSH
GRINDED DOWN, SANDED AND RE-PAINTED THE BRAKE CALIPERS (silver)
(4) NEW VOLVO BRAKE ROTORS ALL AROUND
2 NEW REAR BRAKE LINES
NEW BRAKE PADS WERE RECENTLY INSTALLED (I do not know the brand but they stop well with no noises).
BRAND NEW V70R FRONT BUMPER, NEW LOWER GRILLS AND BRAND NEW FOG LIGHTS
NEW 2000 V70 XC EGGCRATE GRILL
17” “VOLAN” 850R WHEELS FINSHED IN TITANIUM
(Original grill, the original 16”wheels and the original front bumper go with the car)
NEW CONTINENTAL DWS HIGH PERFORMANCE ALL SEASON TIRES 215/45/17
NEW SPARK PLUGS
CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY
BRAND NEW (NOS) WOOD AND LEATHER STEERING WHEEL, (GORGEOUS)!
V70R LEATHER DOOR PANEL INSERTS TO REPLACE THE ORIGINALS THAT ALWAYS SEPARATE ON THESE CARS.
COMPLETE SET OF ALL OWNERS MANUALS, WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE BOOKS.
BOTH KEYS AND REMOTES.


Asking price: $12,495 and you did read this correctly.

(I just spent what would be about 4K worth of retail shop parts and work and it's now sitting on Keystone Volvo's showroom floor).

This really should go to a Volvo collector who can appreciate it and occasionally drive it on the weekend as she drives literally as new.
Hop in and drive it to CA or the PNW! No problems whatsoever, she drives like a dream!

I realize it's very expensive, please go find one like this one and find one that just had all the work listed just done.

If you want it to be quicker, I'll be happy to do a tune at my (wholesale) cost and also install ipd sway bars at cost. In the end if I decide to keep it, that's what I would do and perhaps an exhaust and just drive it occasionally...

This just got sold, paid for and delivered within 9% off of the above asking price.

Local sale to boot.
Most of my buyers are out of state.

Very rarely I can get emotional to the point I just want to post something. This is extraordinary. Volvo owners will understand my feelings. I hope very nice people bought this car.
Flying on 2009 XC90 R-design 3.2L AWD and 2006 XC90 2.5T AWD. Volvo owner forever.

He's nice. Swedish, moved here a year ago
I think he's going to use it, (VERY YOUNG) kids and all, and it will probably be thrashed in a year or so. :(
Not my worry anymore

Maybe he will trade it back in when he misses the third seat

:D

Congrats on sale, Jim!
