2008 Volvo S40 2.4i | We are pleased to present this incredibly nice, Volvo S40 2.4i. 2008 is the first year for a "facelift" redesign which affords the car a new front end, new rear bumper and tail lamps, and an upgraded interior. The facelift makes the car closely resemble the new S80 which came out the previous year. It gives these cars a much more upscale look. This partiular S40 is also pretty special because it has the rare "select package" which includes 17" alloy wheels normally reserved for the r design model, as well as heated leather interior, the high performance sound system, a power drivers seat, trip computer, power moonroof, Nordic Light Oak veneers, and much more. It is also finished in Chameleon Blue which is exceptionally rare. We sell hundreds of Volvos a year, and this is the first time we have ever seen one in person in this color. The interior of this S40 is in very, very good condition. It has Quartz Gray Leather seats which look fabulous and have really nice contrasting stitching details for a sporty appearance. The dash is trimmed in Nordic Light Oak which is very handsome. The car has the "high performance sound system" Alpine audio system upgrade which sounds excellent, features 8 speakers. Since it's an 08, it also has an aux input jack for your MP3 player or phone. 2007 is the first year for this feature. There is a cup holder that accommodates two beverages. This Volvo has dual front airbags, as well as front side airbags, and curtain airbags for the front and rear seats. It also features Volvo's WHIPS Whiplash protection system. The S40 is the first model to feature Volvo's "floating" center stack. The center console is not completely connected to the dashboard, so there is a nice illuminated storage area behind the console. Personally, I use it for gloves and a tin of altoids in my own Volvo. The owners manual set is also there. The car has its original carpet floor mats, as well as a set of rubber floor mats which are a Volvo accessory. The exterior of this S40 is in remarkably good condition and is Chameleon Blue in color. This is an irridescent blue color which is absolutely wild. It changes color depending on the lighting and angle. As I said above, this is the only Volvo that we have ever seen finished in this color. It was offered for two years, however we feel that it may have been only available through overseas delivery as the unique colors sometimes are. Along with the gray interior, it looks great, and is easy to keep clean. The exterior of the car is actually in very nice condition, and there aren't any major flaws to note except for some scrapes from parking on the rear bumper. The car has no accident history at all. The 17 inch alloy wheels are in good condition. Overall, I feel that this car is a fantastic combination of the economical 2.4i non-turbo model, while still having quite a few options to make it look and feel like the turbocharged model. I love how it's configured! The tires are all matching and are in great shape -- Nearly new, in fact. The brakes are in good shape and the car stops as it should. The legendary 2.4 non-turbo 5 cylinder engine runs flawlessly and is very smooth. With the configuration of the non-turbo engine and the 5 speed geartronic automatic transmission, this Volvo will definitely run forever and ever. This is a proven engine and has a legendary track record of being incredibly reliable. This car will have no trouble exceeding any mileage you throw at it. As was mentioned above, these cars rarely have mechanical issues, and this is definitely a car that you could purcahse with the intention of putting hundreds of thousands of miles on the odometer, and it's a car you can count on owning for a long time! |

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 $500 deposit is due immediately upon your purchase of the car. This means that if you click buy it now, or agree to an offer or counteroffer, you should be prepared to make the deposit immediately. 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.

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. |
