Used Car of the Day: 2006 Volvo V70R

by Tim Healey

Published: April 24th, 2024

Today we bring you a manual-transmission wagon. Got the vapors yet? It's also Swedish. It's a 2006 Volvo V70R.

It's all-wheel drive with a six-speed manual transmission. It's had the same owner since 2012, and the owner/seller has complete service records and two sets of rims.

Although this car is based in Ontario, the seller has listed the price in USD -- and that price is $10,000. The mileage is 302,764 kms or 188,012 miles.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I'd take one of these with fewer miles, or the last-gen V90 (NO Cross Country frippery, thanks), which was a lovely car.

Is the idle high? How many codes are behind the check engine light? How many millions to address the traction issue? What's the little triangular warning lamp about?

  The triangle is just an indicator that there's messages to display in the message center. Could be as simple as a bulb failure warning or as major as... well major.

Tassos Good job, Senile, Corrupt Idiot-in-Chief.And when Inflation doubles again under your failed watch, LIE again that it was .. 9% when you took office, while THE REAL inflation then was less than 2%!Disgusting imbecile....
Wjtinfwb Glad to see Toyota hanging in there with sedans. It's a bit clunky looking but no worse than a new BMW 7-series at 1/3 the price. More power would be nice but Toyota is married to the Hybrid/4-cylinder configuration. As this package gets refined I expect it will be come the norm.
Wolfwagen The last couple of foreign vehicle manufacturers that tried breaking into the U.S. Mainstream Vehicle Market had a very hard time and 1. Couldn't get past the EPA regulation side (Mahindra) or 2. had a substandard product (Vinfast).
Midori Mayari I live in a South American country where that is already the case; Chinese brands essentially own the EV market here, and other companies seem unable to crack it even when they offer deep enough discounts that their offerings become cheaper than the Chinese ones (as Renault found when it discounted its cheapest EV to be about 15% cheaper than the BYD Seagull/Dolphin Mini and it still sold almost nothing).What's more, the arrival of the Chinese EVs seem to have turbocharged the EV transition; we went from less than 1% monthly EV market share to about 5% in the span of a year, and it's still growing. And if — as predicted — Chinese EV makers lower their production costs to be lower than those of regular ICE cars in the next few years, they could undercut equivalent ICE car prices with EVs and take most of the car market by storm. After all, a pretty sizeable number of car owners here have a garage where they could charge, and with local fuel and electricity prices charging at home reduces fuel costs by over 80% compared with an ICE car.
