UPDATE 08/19/24 No MoVolvos - Thinning The Herd

Post by MoVolvos »

.
UPDATED: 08/19/24

Well it may be that time? Due to a prolong health issue will need to curtail most auto repairs. The 2000 S70 SE and 2009 S60 2.5T AWD were the cleanest and smoothest running Volvos in the fleet. Both were damaged within a couple of months of each other.

I perceive the writing is on the wall pertaining to future Volvo ownership though Son will keep the 2008 C30 T5 M66. I was able to source a 2001 Sienna LE with 43K miles and should wind up being my daily.

The following cars are up for sale. Son has 2 co-worker and a manager wanting to purchase the 09 S60 AWD as it still drives perfectly and straight, despite $9K in damages according to the Insurance approved Adjuster's Estimate. If anyone is interested in any of the following please PM and we can correspond.

00 S70 SE 152K
02 V70 XC 85K
GONE 08/19/24 - 03 S80 T6 145K
07 S60 2.5T 154K
09 S60 2.5T AWD
12 XC90 147K

Sorry to hear of the on going health challenge. Sorry this means you have to get rid of the herd. Hopefully this is a temporary respite and there are more good days in the future.

What’s the status of the 2000 SE? Would it be suitable for my buy/ donate program?

I need about a $1500 budget point to donate all in, not counting parts needed that I donate.

Someone had asked me about the condition?

Still fires right up! Slid on black ice onto center divide and rear clipped a tree. Son drove it back to his home. Rear Quarter, Rear Bumper, Two Wheels & Bent Trailing Arm. No other body parts touched. Front door cards separated but can be glued, Glove Box trim fell off but can be reattached.

If my memory serves me right?

Parked at my folks in Durham NC. I go every other week to move the car up and down the driveway so the tires won't develop a flat spot. Will also charge the battery from time to time and start the car to idle for a bit. Once in awhile drive it off the parking and back on to keep the juices flowing. Was hoping to get it back on the road.

Was going to install high temp wire loom for plugs and others in the bay but never got around to it.
