Also my favorite color after my Laser Blue 'R'. Always loved the dark Blue Volvos.

I love Nautic Blue, one of my favorite colors on these Volvos.
Speaking of Laser Blue, I'm really mad that I missed this one for sale in SC. He wanted $300!!! Just needed a head gasket. And for a 2000 R, it would have been worth it to me to do that job.

Wow... that's a real shame I missed out on it. Don't even tell me the number on saffron Rs, I'll be mad I didn't buy that one at the junkyard...

...but I wouldn't mind knowing anyway!

The Nautic blue colour is deeper than the Fords of Norway

Do you know what kind of trailer has been towed with it before? You might want to check the tranny fluid because these transmissions don't respond well to overheating. Ask me how I know :(
The previous owner had her for 8 years and said it came with hitch, he was the second owner and has no clue what the hitch was pulling. This gut bought factory Volvo parts, mostly from FCP or IPD, he gave a Volvo brand Purge valve that he bought in case his ever went, he gave a brand new custom Volvo brand car cover for her and a bunch of other goodies he said he won't need. This car is immaculate...I mean it's super clean inside, the drivers seat is fully intact without any creases or tears or wearing, carpet is perfect, wood grain is shiny and unscratched.

I just purchased a 2000 V70XCse with 160k on odo, functional AWD and super clean in/out.
My 98 v70xc blew a HG after a bad hose leak while driving and the level sensor failure to set off dash light for low coolant.
And in the superior Baltic Blue, I see...

:lol: :lol:
My '98 V70xc was same exact color in and out, 3 differences. The wood grain on the 2000 is flawless, the 2000 has the wood grain on the shifter knob and on the steering wheel, there's a nice pocket area under the glove box and there's third row seating.
