Used Car of the Day: 2007 Volvo V70R Ti

by Tim Healey

Published: November 27th, 2023

Today we're going wagon style as we bring you a 2007 Volvo V70R Ti.

Apparently it has been well-maintained. It has the Getrag six-speed automatic transmission and 143,000 miles on the clock.

Mods include BBS 19-inch wheels, fully adjustable coilovers, upgraded sway bars and lower control arms, LED lighting, and more.

Cosmetically, the car appears to have some minor flaws but nothing major.

If a souped-up Swedish wagon appeals to you, click here. The ask is $11,500.

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.

". . .the wife has insisted on an suv for the kids."

There's one reason I've been passing on kids. . .

I don't see any mods that would drastically alter or compromise the car apart from the KW coilovers, and I'd argue they're a net win for the next owner. IPD is practically a surrogate OEM for succeeded generations of Volvo, so I wouldn't worry about parts from them, either.

Honestly, I think if he puts his stock wheels back on, finished the 4C removal, and dropped the price closer to market value, he could have it sold in short order.

  ". . .the wife has insisted on an suv for the kids."
  Hey honey, its a Volvo so have a nice cup of STFU. If one made the argument a 150K mile example of anything is likely to encounter a service interruption due to age I'd agree with the logic, but as much as P2s are a headache from a child transport and safety perspective they equal or spank whatever forgettable Karen mobile is now flavor of the month.
  
  EDIT: One can even retrofit the Volvo BLIS system (blind spot monitoring) into some P2 model years which didn't even offer it as it didn't come out until the successor platform (P3).

  Translation of what she means: "The low ride height makes me feel unsafe and high ride height would make me feel safer."
  I've had that conversation with my wife at least ten times, and it's gotten hard to argue against her point of view when there are so many lifted brodozers that put their bumpers at exactly head height in a lower car. Every time she rides in my 335i she points every one of them out.

I want one of these so bad, in this color, and I'd even settle for an auto. Not *this* one, mind you, but a good condition carbon copy.

Mike My wife has a ‘20 Mazda3 w/the Premium Package; before that she had a ‘15 Mazda3 i GT; before THAT she had an ‘06 Mazda Tribute S V6, ie: Ford Escape with a Mazda-tuned suspension. (I’ve also had two Miata NAs, a ‘94 & a ‘97M, but that’s another story.) We’ve gotten excellent service out of them all. Her 2020, like the others before it, is our road trip car - gets 38mpg highway, it’s been from NC to Florida, Texas, Newfoundland, & many places in between. Comfortable, sporty, well-appointed, spacious, & reliable. Sure, we’d look at a Mazda hybrid, but not anytime soon.😎
MaintenanceCosts Something that Mercedes would never do, but that would be an extremely revealing experiment: sell both a "CLE 63" with the V8 in a ~500 hp state of tune and a "CLE 65" with the four-cylinder mega-hybrid powertrain at the 671 hp or higher level. Charge the same for them, sell both on custom order only, and see which sells more.I'm positive the V8 would outsell the four by five to one or more.
3-On-The-Tree Agreed, or get the Lexus LC500 with the awesome 5.0L V8. Instead of the EV/PHEV, turbocharged V4-V6 nonsense.
SCE to AUX I like the Crown, but it would have to be a lower trim (like the XLE) to make sense.Despite having a Toyota dealer very near me, I don't see many Crowns on the road.
ToolGuy I recently purchased 12 ignition coils, but that covered two different vehicles.
