Hi JRL, we are thinking of selling our 2007(.5?) XC70, and want to price it fairly. The prices on the usual websites (Edmunds, NADA, etc.) are all over the map, and I'm wondering if you might be able to lend your pricing expertise. Stats below:

2007 XC70
-62,000 miles
-Premium
-Climate
-18" Atlantis wheels on brand new tires (so much nicer than the 16" Xenias)
-standard Aux/ipod connector in console
-Bluetooth (Motorola module that is the same as what Volvo sold as their own)
-Sirius sat radio (factory)
-Roof rack has wing profile cross bars and two bike holders
-Barrents blue exterior/tan leather interior

It's in what I would call very good condition. It's a daily driver, so there are a few scratches and curb kisses on the wheels. We just had it detailed inside and out, replaced the tires, and it had a 60k mile service.

The car is located in Houston, TX.

Best Regards, Chris

Hey Jim:

Need to repaint some of the black surface in my engine firewall fiberglass per this post

I read you recently did this as well, what product did you use? I think you had it outsourced, perhaps you know what they used?

Hey JRL,

Any advice on oil? I lived in the city and couldn't do my own oil changes and now I live in the burbs and have a garage. I was reading that Mobil 1 Extended Performance runs a year or 15,000 miles. I put 10-15,000 miles a year, could I run this stuff for a year?

Thanks for your advice.

Hi There,
My wife and I are looking for an XC70. We're thinking maybe an 05/06. What would be a reasonable price to pay for one with 100K on it? Do you have those come available? We're in Central CT.

Thanks,
Gil

JRL,

EDIT: I see I actually PM'd you from Matthew and now XCforum. Sorry for any confusion...to much internet tonight!

Update on my last request for your help. I've read 101 posts today across about 4 forums...you were present in many of the useful ones! I do have a question or two for you still. It seems the failure trends for a 2003 AWD is usually

Spline Sleave (you said unlikely)
Bevel Gear (internal)
Haldex pump
AWD DEM
Pressure Sensor
The viscous coupler it self

You mention in several posts the spline coupler was usually not the concern but I see lots of discussion on this. Is it overhyped? I was wondering if you were a tech or just a great clearing house on digesting all the info on these forums. I used to wonder if you were a tech but then you mentioned talking to your tech! I'm just curious what you have seen to be the most common trend. I'd figure (and hope) the viscous coupler to be bullet proof but the electronics to be suspect.

oh, and to go along with the pm I sent you (2001 xc70 Trans Sensors and Shop Manual), the check engine light code was I believe P0808, autozone said it was a clutch position sensor...i found a gear position sensor here at swedish parts shop .com/catalog/?Ne=28&N=11879+4294963364+1733+8023 , and this was the only site so far I have found that have any trans sensors, besides the speed sensor.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

Hey JRL,
Sorrry to go direct to the source instead of posting - still not sure I see how to do that.
Do you know a suitable adhesive to use to re-cement the rubber to the metal on a 2000 steady bearing (outer bond)- it appears that losing the bond there is all I am dealing with right now.
