Description:

Your chance to own a quintessential Swedish Pocket Rocket. Volvo only imported 250 of these in 2013 and this has the #139 badge. Limited edition models with Polestar’s engine-software update to boost the output of the C30’s 2.5-liter turbo five to 250 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. Other R-Design features: rebel blue body-color body kit, mono-tube dampers, springs that are 30-percent stiffer than a standard C30’s suspenders, and a steering ratio that’s 10-percent quicker than stock, R-Design pedals, sport steering wheel, instrument cluster, and aluminum trim. 6-speed manual transmission with leather wrapped stickshift! Moonroof, leather two-toned bucket seats (heated) with 5-way adjustments and 3 memory, CD player, bluetooth. No navigation. 
 
Second of just two owners. First 8 years in salt-free California, with only one winter in Vermont. 
 
Big ticket items completed: timing belt replacement and A/C compressor at 110K, 4 brake pads and rotors and brake fluid flush at 122K. No accidents, and no paint or body damage but for a few small nicks. The only known mechanical issue is the little black keyless unlock/entry button on the driver's side door has ceased to work--the door handle works to unlock keyless just not to lock (can describe in more detail). New set of tires will be in order sooner rather than later--current ones Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 205/50ZR17XL w 25K miles.
 
This little bluebird is a fantastic car, just not the right one for my new AWD-life on the backroads of Vermont. If you buy it, be prepared for total strangers to honk and wave. You will definitely stands out from the crowd!
 
Note: Kelly Blue Book (KBB) price does not accurately reflect Polestar Limited Edition model. KBB does not have the trim levels to select thus their pricing is not based on proper car. Similar mileage sold recently for $16K. I'm asking $15K or best offer.
