Description:

6 Speed Manual Transmission 2.5L DOHC Turbo Charged 2008 Volvo C30 T5 2.0 R-Design with lots of upgrades, features, and accessories. 118k miles. 



 I am the second owner. The first owner used it as a weekend show car (it was garage kept and not even driven in the rain from 2008-2018). He did a lot of performance upgrades to make it comparable to the polestar edition that came out in later years (see below). I purchased it in 2018 with very few miles on it. It has been my daily driver since and has never been in an accident. 



 Mechanical Upgrades: Elevate Engine Tune for added HP & torque (equipment to reset included - codes saved by Elevate based on VIN - can remove or reboot at any time), custom sport suspension, sway bar added, car is lowered a couple inches, custom exhaust, racing air intake filter, custom 18” wheels, red brake calipers, new LED headlights. 



 Interior Upgrades: custom red trim kit (original R Design Carbon Fiber remains underneath), added Bluetooth kit & wireless dash charging kit. 



 Exterior Accessories: custom $200 Covercraft Evolution Car Cover, detachable roof rails, custom red grill cover (original silver still included).

 Within the last year the car has had a new clutch, new windshield, new starter, new fuel pressure sensor, new front axels, an alignment, tires only 6 mos old (Continental Extreme DWS 06 Plus - all season performance tire $200+/tire), rotate and balance after tire installation, new timing belt assembly (and all associated parts ex: drive belt, idler, tensioners, water pump, etc.). 120k mi. service interval was performed at 109k mi. All service except for tire install and windshield have been done at German Autowerks in Yorktown. 



 Exterior and interior are in near new condition. There are two issues: 1.) Recently 3rd and 4th gear are making grinding noises. You can still put the car into those gears and it will stay engaged and run, but they are loud and gravelly. So the transmission will need work. I do not know how much work. It still rides great jumping from 2nd to 5th. 2.) It needs new brake pads to pass inspection. It’s driving fine with no apparent braking issues. I just haven’t gotten around to doing it. 



 If you like fixing cars and know what you are doing, this is the perfect car for you, as it has a lot of life left and a lot of the maintenance you would have to do with an older car has already been done (see above), so once the transmission is done, it will be pristine. To the best of my knowledge, everything else with the car is in excellent condition. It got a full work up prior to a 500 mile drive in December and everything checked out, no mechanical or electrical issues were reported at that time. So as far as I know, the most recent transmission issue and the brake pads are the only things that are not “like new.” 



 It’s super fun to drive. Quick, and corners like a beast. Going 100 on the highway feels like 60 - smooth and no shakes. I love it; the C30 has been such a great car, this is actually my second one. I replaced my first one with the exact same car because I had such a great experience with my first one. So I’m sad to see it go, but my needs have changed. KBB is $6.5k w/o all the upgrades, customizations, and accessories. Priced to sell “as is” on account of the transmission issue. Asking $5.5k OBO.
