The Volvo C30 debuted in the United States for the 2008 model year, representing a line of premium front-wheel-drive hatchbacks produced in a single generation until 2013. Topping the model range, the R-Design variant boasts a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-five engine along with enhanced styling and performance features. This 2009 example comes finished in silver over black upholstery and features a 6-speed manual transmission. This R-Design is said to have been delivered new in Sweden through a European delivery program before being shipped to California. A meticulously maintained one-owner car, it is now being offered for auction at no reserve by the selling dealer out of California with approximately 121k miles on the odometer.
The R-Design C30 offers sport-focused styling cues, including a redesigned front grille and a rear spoiler. This example comes finished in silver and rides on aluminum wheels dressed in tires from 03/2019 with 6/32 remaining tread. Details include daytime running lights and fog lights along with paint-matched bumpers and bodyside moldings. The seller notes some scratches on the wheels along with pitting on the mirrors, hood, and driver's door edge. Additionally, the rear bumper and emblems were replaced with factory parts, no frame damage has been reported, and the passenger door and right quarter panel have slightly higher paint thickness. The paint meter reads approximately 3.8-4.2 except for the right door and quarter at about 7mm. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, the driver is situated within black leather upholstery featuring manually operated front bucket seats. Equipment includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an Intelligent Driver Info System (IDIS), a rear window defroster, a locking glovebox, front door storage pickets, illuminated vanity mirrors, and a leather-wrapped handbrake. Optional features consist of the Climate Package, a rear armrest, and Aluminum Decor inlays. The seller notes some wear and splitting on the driver's seat bolster, along with very slight signs of wear throughout.
Power is derived from a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-five engine, sending as much as 227 HP and 236 lb.-ft of torque to the front wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. For the R-Design variant, a sport-tuned suspension comes equipped as standard. Other features include Dynamic Stability & Traction Control (DSTC) and power rack & pinion steering. The CARFAX report shows a total of 34 service history records dating back to 2009.
This sale will include a clean title, owner's manuals, a window sticker, and sales literature.
The seller would like you to know: "This car was purchased new and picked up at the factory in Sweden. It has been lovingly cared for by a mature couple in Northern California since new and serviced at the local Volvo dealer regularly This car is a safe and economical driver that looks very good for its age and is ready for anything you will need to do."

@designrlee, it's customary for buyer to arrange shipping and to ask the seller to be willing to help the truck with pick up.
@norcalcarnut will you arrange/contract shipping? Understood shipping cost is not included in winning bid.
@norcalcarnut You're welcome! Even though it is not an R-Design, it is still an amazing one-owner car with a fantastic service history! My recommendations to the new owner; always use synthetic oil and make sure to service the pcv/oil trap system (Google it). These T5 motors are incredible! I drove one to around 236k before I donated it, and another to 250k before I traded it in. The 4th gear downshift for highway passing was an exhilarating snap! Again, GLWTA!
@eunos1990 Hi eunos1990. Thank you for your comments. I have decoded the Vin# on both the NMVTIS and Mitchell databases and both indicate it is an R-design model. However based on your comment
I called a local Volvo dealer and they told me the Vin does not indicate it is an R model
I am very sorry for the confusion and want to
Let everybody know there was no deception intended

For the record, this is NOT the R-Design package. The R-Design came with a revised body kit and larger hatch spoiler that were color-coordinated (not the black plastic as seen on the lower parts of this T5). It also had two-tone seats, metallic-blue gauges, satin silver mirror caps (not color-coordinated), and R-Design logos on the exterior and interior. If this link I'll attach below makes it through, you'll see what I'm referring to:

Anyway, GLWTA...

@2mAn Hi and thanks for your questions
There is no reason why you cannot drive the car to Southern California. I have every confidence in this car We are located in Marin County pretty much equidistant from Oakland and SFO. The San Francisco airport has much better transportation to within blocks of our business
Bid in the amount of $2,000
@norcalcarnut Thank you! Any reason why I couldn't fly in and drive it home to Los Angeles, should I be the lucky winner? Also is SFO the closest airport to you ?
