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.

Oberkanone How long do I have to stay in this job before I get a golden parachute?I'd lower the price of the V-Series models. Improve the quality of interiors across the entire line. I'd add a sedan larger then CT5. I'd require a financial review of Celestiq. If it's not a profit center it's gone. Styling updates in the vision of the XLR to existing models. 2+2 sports coupe woutd be added. Performance in the class of AMG GT and Porsche 911 at a price just under $100k. EV models would NOT be subsidized by ICE revenue.
NJRide Let Cadillac be Cadillac, but in the context of 2024. As a new XT5 owner (the Emerald Green got me to buy an old design) I would have happy preferred a Lyriq hybrid. Some who really like the Lyriq's package but don't want an EV will buy another model. Most will go elsewhere. I love the V6 and good but easy to use infotainment. But I know my next car will probably be more electrified w more tech.I don't think anyone is confusing my car for a Blazer but i agree the XT6 is too derivative. Frankly the Enclave looks more prestigious. The Escalade still has got it, though I would love to see the ESV make a comeback. I still think GM missed the boat by not making a Colorado based mini-Blazer and Escalade. I don't get the 2 sedans. I feel a slightly larger and more distinctly Cadillac sedan would sell better. They also need to advertise beyond the Lyriq. I don't feel other luxury players are exactly hitting it out of the park right now so a strengthened Cadillac could regain share.
