2010 Volvo XC70

Volvo. for life.

The old daily. This car replaced the GTI. It was a useful addition to our fleet and had an easy going demeanor. The seats were very comfortable and it was safe and roomy inside, with excellent ride comfort over bumpy roads. One previous owner. Virginia car its whole life so no rust. Underside was very clean. It had 66k miles when purchased second hand and I put another 29k miles on it. Needed a little TLC (it was a used car after all) but would have easily provided us with another 100k miles of use had I not crashed it!

My Old Volvo at Salvage Auction

https://www.iaai.com/Vehicle?itemID=27025097 My car has already turned up at the salvage auto auction. It’s at the IAAI Culpepper, VA location. I really loved this car and had plans to keep it forever. In fact, I had just done the Volvo recommended 97,500 mile service on the car and had just filled the gas tank with super unleaded! However, I have no plans to buy my old car back.  Actual Cash Value is $11,308 and the Estimated Repair Cost is $9,462. Modern Volvos aren’t cheap to repair. If circumstances were different, maybe I would try to repair it myself. But I needed […]

Volvo No More

A few weeks ago I was in a fender bender on my way to work. It was one of those crappy situations where it was 100% my fault, because it is my duty not to hit other vehicles in front of me, but also a tough situation to avoid. A group of 4 or 5 vehicles, mine included, were stopped on a highway ramp waiting for traffic to clear so that we could merge from the interchange onto a 4-lane divided highway. There was no merge lane, just a yield sign at the end of the ramp. When there was […]

Silk metal steering wheel decor installed

OEMplus upgrades help freshen up the interior.  No more peeling steering wheel trim! Volvo DiCE […]
