2000 Volvo S70 GLT SE | OK, ebayers. THIS. IS. IT. If you've been looking for a P80 Volvo, you've found the ultimate. Let me just put this as simply as I can. This is a ONE OWNER car with only 29k miles on the odometer. Don't adjust your sets, I actually just said TWENTY-NINE THOUSAND MILES. As I mentioned, this is a one owner car which was garaged and serviced regularly. It was purchased from and serviced by one of our local Volvo dealerships near Pittsburgh. Though it has low mileage, it was still used and serviced regularly. This car presents itself as an absolute time capsule. Please take some time to brouse through the nearly 120 photos we have included in the listing. This car is the real deal. 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 S70s 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 often come across them, but rarely in such nice condition and NEVER with such low mileage. 2000 is the very last year for this proven body style. 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 S70 and V70. These are arguably 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 2000 S70 special, this is also very, very well optioned. It's stuffed with options like the Cold Weather Packge, Leather, Moonroof, Stability and Traction Control, and much more! This is as highly optioned as an S70 could ever get. It has everything except all wheel drive. The all wheel drive models, though excellent in winter weather, have fairly high-maintenance all wheel drive systems. This particular S70 gives you the best of both worlds in that it has all of these luxury features without the all wheel drive. The front wheel drive is also assisted with STC (stability and traction control) which helps prevent wheel spin on slippery surfaces like snow and ice. It also has a winter mode for the transmission which starts the car out in second gear to prevent wheel spin. The interior of this S70 is in very good condition. In fact, the condition is essentially BRAND NEW. The tan leather seats show virtually no wear and are incredibly soft. 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. The previous owner of this car was definitely a non-smoker. These cars don't even come with cigarette lighters, just power outlets. 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 down, and the passenger front seat also folds down for carrying very long cargo. Being a 2000, it also has WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System) which was introduced for the 2000 model year in the S70. The exterior of this S70 is in nearly flawless condition and is metallic silver in color. The paint on this car is in spectacular condition. It's like looking at a brand new car. There is no evidence that the car has been in an accident in the past. The car has very nice 16" alloy wheels which were exclusive to the 2000 GLT SE models. They're very rare. The car also has the optional accessory trunk spoiler. It's important to note that the power antenna works properly and extends and retracts fully. The photos of this car speak for themselves. The tires are all in great condition and are Goodyears. 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. 2000 is the final year for the ultra-reliable 4 speed automatic transmission. All of the car's accessories work including the power windows and moonroof. These cars rarely have mechanical problems. The car has a Pennsylvania Safety and Emissions inspection for the buyer. We are a BOSCH Car Service Center, and have completely serviced this car. This car runs and drives simply like a new car. It is so incredibly smooth. There are almost 120 photos below. Please be patient while they load and you'll be able to see every square inch of this incredible Volvo. | In many cases, it is more efficient and economical to have your car shipped to your home or office.

Since you're bidding, or making an offer, on a car which you may have not seen in person, it is important that a level of trust be established between you, our customer, and us, the dealership. This is why we post between 30 and 60 high-resolution images of every car we sell on ebay. We pride ourselves in having the most detailed, highest resolution images on ebay, and we use the finest photography equipment in order to catch even the smallest details of the cars that we sell. In addition, the description above provides a comprehensive walk-around of the car including the interior, exterior, and mechanical systems. We even will fill you in on any previous maintenance that we've performed. Regardless, all cars that we sell have been thoroughly checked for safety by our in-house master technician. In addition, we road-test every car we sell very extensively before offering it. If there are any issues with the car that are present, they will be mentioned in the auction. Because we road test the cars extensively, it is possible that the car may have more miles on it than when the auction was listed. We always encourage you to come check out the car in person before bidding or making an offer. If you are too far away to do this, there are several inspection services that can review the car, or we can take the car to a local garage of your choice for a pre-purchase inspection. Please note that a $5000 deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction. This deposit can be made by contacting us directly and can be paid by credit or debit card over the phone. This allows us to speak with you person-to-person which allows us to fill you in on the process and fine details of the transaction, as well as lets you know that we are real people who are committed to making the process of purchasing your new car as easy and painless as possible. Buying a car should be fun and exciting, not a chore. The balance is due within 7 days via Certified Check, Money Order, or bank wire transfer. We can also accept credit cards and personal checks for full payment with prior authorization. Simply contact us before bidding or making your offer to let us know that you plan on paying with one of these methods so that we can let you know about additional terms that apply. Non-paying buyers will be reported to ebay. We charge a $255 dealer services fee for all transactions. This fee covers any additional paperwork service, overnighting of paperwork, and dealer prep. We can provide a temporary cardboard plate for out of state customers at no charge. Pennsylvania residents will need to pay sales tax between 6% and 7% depending upon your county of residence. There are also Pennsylvania fees for the registration, title, and license plate (unless you bring your own plate to transfer). 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. |
