We are pleased to present this very nice 1998 Volvo V70 XC AWD. There are several things that make this car quite special. and I'll try to make sure that I list all of them for those that are not quite as familiar with these Volvos. These 98-00 V70s are developing quite a following among our customers. and we are constantly having people asking us to find nice examples of them (because of our reputation as a seller of volvos of this vintage). We scour the country looking for the finest examples of these cars. We often come across them. but rarely in the fantastic condition of this particular one. This car actually belonged to my Aunt. and I have been trying to buy it from her for at least the last 10 years. She is one of those people who keeps their cars in flawless condition. Making regular trips to the Volvo dealership for service. and having it detailed often. This is probably one of the finest examples of a 98 V70 XC on the road. These cars were in production since the eary 90s (as the 850). and then from 1998-2000 they were lightly redesigned and made more luxurious and sold as the V70. These final versions of Volvo's first front wheel drive car are perhaps one of the most reliable Volvos ever made! In fact. the engine and transmission configuration in this car will have no problem eating all of the miles you throw at it. We have seen several of these with 300. 400. and even 500k miles! Now. on top of all of the things that make this 1998 V70 XC special. this is also very. very well optioned. It's stuffed with options like the Touring Packge. Leather. Moonroof. Traction Controp. and the third row seat! It has front heated seats too. but those are pretty common. This is as highly optioned as a V70XC can be in the 1998 model year! Going anywhere in the winter is now something you'll never have to worry about. These V70 XCs feature the very first iteration of Haldex's All Wheel Drive. Hadex is a Swedish based company which does nothing but design and manufacture all wheel drive systems. Their systems have come to be used in makes and models in various car companies. and even in extremely high performance cars such as the new Volvo S60 Polestar. The first generation of this system is regarded as many Volvo enthusiasts as being the best for winter traction. It also has a winter mode for the transmission which starts the car out in second gear to prevent wheel spin. As I mentioned above. this was my Aunt's car. and I purchased it directly from her to offer for sale here on ebay. All of the original documentation as well as all of the service receipts will be provided to the new owner.

The interior of this V70 is in very good condition. In fact. overall. this is one of the nicest interiors we've ever seen in one of these cars.   The black leather seats are in fantastic condition for the car's age with no tears. They're still quite soft. and feel great. Everything in the interior works including the air conditioning. which is ice cold. The car has the upgraded high-performance alpine/volvo sound system with 10 speakers and a CD/Cassette player. It's easy to use. and sounds excellent. It also has a power moonroof. There is a cup holder that accommodates two beverages and it isn't broken. This Volvo has dual front airbags. as well as front side airbags. The side airbags are part of a system called SIPS which stands for "Side Impact Protection System. " This is a combination of high-strength door beams. specially designed door openings. and side airbags. which keeps the passengers safe in the event of a side impact. The rear seats fold flat (both the second and third row seats). and the passenger front seat also folds down for carrying very long cargo. This car also has the highly sought after third row seat. and even includes the accessory lower seat soft cushion. This is a very difficult item to find.

The exterior of this V70 is in remarkably good condition for the year and miles. and is Polar White in color. This is one of the harder to find colors for these cars. and the bright white color really pops and is very striking. The exterior of this car is just gorgeous. and the paint is in wonderful condition. It's obvious that this car was garaged for its life. and she had it detailed and waxed often. It REALLY shows in the condition and shine of the paint. The car has very nice 15" alloy wheels which are in great condition. This V70 also has the roof rails that are exclusive to the XC models.

The tires are all in nice shape with excellent tread life remaining. The brakes are in  good shape and the car stops as it should. The legendary 2. 4 Liter low-pressure turbocharged 5 cylinder engine runs flawlessly and is very smooth. The transmission also operates properly. It's very smooth. while still shifting crisply. All of the car's accessories work including the power windows and moonroof. These cars rarely have mechanical problems.

Inexpensive used cars are not at all the same as a brand new car. or certified pre-owned vehicle.   They are in no way flawless. or perfect.  As noted above. we try our absolute best to disclose any issues which may be present on the car. however a car's condition is somewhat subjective and opinion based. Where door ding may be considered perfectly acceptable on a 10 year old car. it would never be acceptible on a car which is brand new.   Also. on higher-mileage used cars. it is important to remember that virtually any mechanical or non-mechanical component can fail at any time.   We cannot predict what components will fail in the future. or when they will fail.   This is simply the nature of older higher mileage used vehicles.   The best that we can do is assure that the car is operating properly at the time of purchase. This car is sold as-is. and we cannot be held responsible for any mechanical or non-mechanical failure.   Additionally. because we do not know the inspection requirements of other states. we cannot guarantee that this vehicle will pass any out-of-state inspections.
