Vehicle Description
MINT condition lowest mileage 2001 XC offered in the U.S. RARE
premium 7-passenger AWD wagon; CA/NV two-owner. CarFax and
AutoCheck certified accident free with an AutoCheck Score of 64
(vs. 27-42 norm). All seats except driver can be folded completely
flat. It's hard to find a single flaw to the paint/body; the
undercarriage looks like a one-year-old car (see photos) with zero
fluid leaks. The car is rust-free with no repainting. The interior
is in exceptional condition with little if any signs of aging; the
front seats have been protected from wear by seat covers the rears
look like no one has sat in them - and Volvo's leather is just
about the thickest found in any car. These cars are made to last.
Just installed: four brand new tires complete brake job all around
plus new lower control arms front struts and coils and a 4-wheel
alignment. Available at our wholesale cost of $1900 is a 5
year/100000 additional mile powertrain warranty
(engine/transmission/water pump/differentials).On a recent 600 mile
trek over the Sierras into central Nevada and back - numerous 7k-9k
mountain passes - we averaged 26-27 mpg; try to match that in an
SUV. That's a range of close to 500 miles!This XC is especially
loaded with options: $1425 Leather (versus canvas/leather seat
combo) and Versatility package (leather interior with
baseball-glove stitching unique to the XC) $1200 optional
rear-facing 3rd-row bench (seats two children minimum 50 lbs. each)
$1200 power sunroof $1000 10-speaker premium sound system with
in-dash 4-disc CD changer $400 Cold Weather package (heated front
seats headlamp wipers and washers) and $635 Security package that
fortifies the Volvo with laminated door windows and motion
detectors. Had it come with the $2500 Navigation (many prefer a
cell phone) it would have added up to more than a similarly
equipped Lexus RX300 or M-B ML320.The entire Volvo V70 lineup saw a
substantial redesign in 2001. Volvo's Cross Country AWD estate
wagon jacked up in the suspension and rigged with a permanently
engaged all-wheel-drive device for trekking across rugged terrain
is the company's clever alternative to an SUV. It can plow down
rough routes to reach a backwater fishing hole or camping spot yet
on pavement deliver sophisticated traits of a refined road car with
agile handling and a smooth ride quality. In other words it
possesses the go-anywhere attributes of a sturdy SUV when you want
to venture away from pavement but otherwise behaves like a nimble
sedan while always coddling passengers in luxurious comfort.Power
comes from a 2.4-liter inline 5-cylinder light-pressure turbo
engine linked to a five-speed automatic transmission. It deserves
10 out of 5 stars for safety! We will never forget an intersection
collision witnessed decades ago where a Volvo ended up on its roof
- and not a single window broke! The cabin is second to none in the
wagon segment when it comes to comfort and safety. The V70 XC was
built on a platform shared with the front-drive S80 luxury sedan.
Many European wagons like the Audi A6 Avant are claustrophobic
inside; not so the V70 with its tall greenhouse and spacious
interior.Safe fun and capable the Volvo XC is an appealing and
viable alternative to the SUV mainstream.Owners have taken to
spending the night in the spacious rear - and we've seen examples
of some - especially in Europe - who have added some cabinetry to
create a small RV. For certain folks this XC will convince that
wagons are indeed as useful as trucks.CarFax states $9380 Retail
Value - without consideration for the numerous options and the
car's exceptional condition. Pebble Beach needs to add a Classic
Longroof Class - which this XC could win. We offer this durable
beauty for $10900 - a great deal when combined with the warranty
offered at our cost. Note: The original San Jose CA owner moved to
Las Vegas NV after two years; CarFax shows Volvo Dealer servicing
for 18 years. The 2nd Las Vegas owner only had the car for two
years. Here is a great 4 minute off road video:
