This is a very nice car, I saw it yesterday.
It's a shame
about the non heated seats and the door panels but such is life in Volvoland.
(The paint work is fine and to the uninitiated, no one would ever know.
A very good job was done with the side).
Having heated seats wasn't a deal breaker for me. But for others it may be. I was searching for a low mile S70 GLT or T5 and found this one down in Fort Myers with 18.3K on it.
I honestly only missed them for a few days after driving my wife's Volvo that had them.
Car sold. It was to be picked up this coming Saturday. Took it out yesterday to top off the tank and get the oil changed for it's new owner. Stopped at a stop light and...
Aside from the sale falling apart, I've owned this car for 3.5 years and it really, really is (was) a creampuff. I am really bummed out. Other guys insurance has not seen the car yet and hard to tell how much this is going to cost...
It's going to be totaled. I've seen less damage on an S70 and it was totaled.
Take $5500 from their insurance company for the car and another 5 to 10K for your "back and neck" issues.
Nevertheless,
I suggest going to a doctor this week just to be sure as you WERE rear ended.
(I told you to sell it to me 3 weeks ago didn't I)?
Steve, I'm sorry to see this. First and foremost, do get checked out. Jim is right. I've been rear-ended three times in my driving career and back/neck problems are real and can haunt you. I was smashed in the rear in my brand new '07 XC and my daughter and I still have problems. At least get it documented in case something shows up later. Good luck.
When I had a deposit down on my V70 I still had to drive it over to PA one last time. You can bet your ass I was in the right lane doing 55MPH on the Scukyll Expressway!
I learned to drive on the Surekill Expressway, I think I can handle driving on it. It's the idiots from **ahem** the dumpy parts of Philly that think it's a road designed for 80MPH cruising. It's not the Turnpike or AC Expressway.
Besides, it's rare you even get to go 55 considering it's a parking lot basically 24/7. There's traffic on the Surekill at 1PM on a Sunday.
Damn shame it had to happen to bodywork that's part of the unibody. Anywhere else and you could let them total it, buy it back, and put recycled parts on to fix.
Guys, this should be brought over to the S70 forum, this is a for sale forum and this car AIN'T FOR SALE ANYMORE!
and I sure hope this is YOUR insurance company not the person who hit you.
It's none of their business, you deal with your company ONLY, you NEVER deal with the other party's company.
