This 2004 Volvo V70R is a 104k mile example equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. The seller has owned the car for about 10 years and has had all major repairs performed by the Volvo specialists at European Auto Factory in Santa Clara, CA. The angle gear and collar sleeve were recently replaced, and the AWD system is now functioning well. The car is finished in Flash Green with Atacama leather interior, which is said to be a rare color combination. It remains in good cosmetic and mechanical condition with no aftermarket modifications, and is sold with a clean California title.

The exterior is in good overall condition, with no significant dents or paint damage. There is a minor ding in each of the rear doors, and the Carfax report shows a minor to moderate front end impact early in its life. According to the seller no evidence of the prior damage is visible. The front bumper was repainted in 2009.

The only exterior modification is an aftermarket trailer hitch and wiring harness. An electronic brake controller is installed under the dash and integrates with the wiring harness.

The Atacama natural leather interior was a $1500 option in 2004 and shows some wear on the front seat bolsters, though no tears or split seams are visible. There is considerable scratching around the “spaceball” shifter and on the cupholder cover as can be seen in the photo gallery below. The only known electrical issue is a “position light bulb failure” message on the information display although all lights are working.

The rear seats and carpets look to have held up well.

17″ Pegasus wheels show some curb rash on the passenger side and wear Yokohama tires with plenty of tread.

The 2.5L turbocharged inline-five is unmodified apart from a drop-in K&N filter. The seller performed basic maintenance himself including a Mobil 1 oil change every six months, and states that the car uses no oil between changes. While preparing the car for sale, the seller discovered that the AWD system was not working properly and had the collar sleeve and angle gear replaced to resolve the problem. Receipts are available for that work as well as a number of other repairs over the years including:

Lower control arm bushings 59k miles

New clutch and throwout bearing 68k miles

Replaced brake pads and rotors 73k miles

Fuel pump replaced 79k miles

Steering column lock replaced 85k miles

Front lower ball joints, driver side drive shaft, 4-wheel alignment 90k miles

Rear control arm bushings 91k miles

The original timing belt and tensioners are still installed.

A Carfax report can be viewed in the gallery below and numerous repair receipts are included in the sale. The V70R provides a compelling mix of performance and utility, and this looks to be a well cared for example in a rare color combination.
