I'm celebrating my 20th year buying & selling on ebay! I'm selling this nice '03 xc70 for my fiance' who inherited another vehicle and now needs to get this one off her insurance policy. Honestly, this was the car of her dreams several years ago, and she's really enjoyed driving it. She's been a happy owner (second, we think) of this car for the past ~2-1/2 years. I will attempt to describe her car in detail, knowing it as i do. I suppose i can even arrange to post a video. My fiance' carefully maintains her cars! This is clearly reflected in the cleanliness of the interior and the excellence of the paint, which is quite good for any vehicle that's ~14+ model years old. There is no rust on the finish or on the undercarriage that i can see, and all the running gear is in great shape mechanically. This car is in very good condition inside and out and it runs well! The climate control and sound systems work fine and have no issues whatsoever. Accessories include sunroof (it works okay--but she wouldn't use it) plus a cargo net, retractable cargo cover and the usual spare tire, jack etc. As shown; mostly all in nice cosmetic as well as functional condition. This is a non-smoker's car and there are no unusual odors. The engine doesn't smoke either and the exhaust system is in fine shape. This car doesn't burn any oil between changes, which have been done at regular 3000 mile intervals. The turbocharged gasoline engine starts right up and runs smoothly. Also, the alloy wheels are -all- in outstanding condition. The vehicle has spent practically all of its life in central va. The original tan berber carpeting is in incredible shape. A set of rubber floor mats is provided. The leather seats have worn surprisingly well and have no tears. The interior panels only have a couple of minor dings, but the pleather emergency brake and automatic shifter boots are both peeling as shown in the photos. There's a small ~1/8" pit (not really a dent) on the hood; there's a photo here that shows that, too. All lights work, as do the front and rear wipers (rear washer needs pump replaced). Exterior trim is a bit faded (gray) but everything is there, solid & firmly attached. The cruise control works great! My pet peeve when i drive this car is the lid to the center console--it's loose and comes off! It needs to be glued or replaced. Really, its a minor annoyance we've lived with 'til now, so it'll become the new owner's issue! Two of the (goodyear) tires are a year old, the other two are perfectly serviceable. The brakes were replaced a few months ago. I replaced both rear lift gate pistons a few weeks back (not too difficult on these, as it turns out) but it will sometimes not stay up. Abs light comes on and it stays on, and that is indicative of a series of solder joint failures in the instrument panel's main circuit board that will need to be addressed. There are companies who perform this service (some here on ebay). Except for replacing a major engine computer last year and occasionally wiggling the ignition key to get it unlocked, this has been a reliable, comfortable & safe car in town & on the highway. It handles well and is very predictable in all conditions. These are among the safest cars on the road, and i wouldn't hesitate to put a family member in it. In other words: all sales are final: no refunds and no returns, so please ask questions beforehand. I will -always- leave feedback in the end. Be sure to review my feedback!
