98 XC70 with lots of goodies $1800


Recommended Posts

1998 XC70 AWD, Automatic,  2.4L Turbo 13g, 178k miles, Silver exterior with charcoal grey interior.

I've had this listed on Craigslist a few times but no serious buyers so i'll try here too.

This is car needs some smog/exhaust work or simply a great parts/donor car. Car is located in the east bay area, Fairfield, California

Everything works AC,heater,all windows doors & switches.

AWD perfect and intact. Bevel gear &transmission good. Just not passing smog test after a lot of work

CAR TITLE:
Original purchased as a LIEN sale. I've paid all back fee's & penalties. Clean title, no accidents.
Needs to pass CA smog or transport to another state w/o smog. Aftermarket cat installed.

Exterior:Good to great condition overall. All glass oem, no cracks/chips in windshield.

Has some scratches and small dents/dings around.
Interior: Good to great condition overall. Leather has some wears on the edges of the seats. Torn stitch in drivers seat.

Common drivers door hinge broken and pops when opening.

NEW PARTS SINCE 2/2015 til now:
Entire PCV system replaced

UPGRADES INSTALLED:

302mm brake kit with Drilled rotors front & back
Dual exhaust
BFGoodrich g-sport force with 9/32 tread depth all around
Custom Dual 3"in exhaust from turbo to muffler.

Fluid Treatments: (Safety measure as vehicle wasn't driven for 1-2yrs)
STP Oil treatment every oil change
2x Seafoam treatments 3months apart
STP fuel treatment ounce every month

FLUID LEAKS:
-Radiator oil cooler connector moist. I recommend replacing the entire radiator & the O-rings. Don't buy re-manufactured "Nissen", as that's what's installed and there more prone to this failure.
-Unknown power steering fluid leak but theres no visible leak found.

Areas of Concern :
Front suspension Upper spring seat (Drivers side) defective and needs replacement. Makes noise when going over bumpy pavement. The part included in the sale.
Small 2mm exhaust leak gap where the turbo exhaust side meets the down pipe. This is due to the custom exhaust down pipe not seating perfect.

Ugly:
-Smog Emissions (HC's) high so again didn't pass after multiple part replacements etc.
-Broken Tailgate Latch & actuator. Both pieces were removed so the tailgate would close.

Will upload pics
Any questions/interest pm me.

I can upload pics of the exhaust later today.

I thought the exhaust was stock, as i know the xc piping is larger but after inspecting a bunch of other XC's, this one is unique.

Here's a lo-quality video of the exhaust---> 98 XC70 exhaust

Any particular shoots of the exhaust you would like to see?
