Hi,
Ever since Volvo offered the auto-dimming rearview mirror on the S/V70 for the 1999 and 2000 models, I have been wanting to re-fit mine with it, but the costs
of $ 220 Cdn for the part and $ 100 Cdn for the installation kept me away.
Yesterday, I went to my dealership's annual once-a-year " Garage Sale " and I got the auto-dimming rearview for $ 39.99 Cdn ( If you don't believe it ( Who
can ? ), I might be able to scan the invoice for you ). And the parts manager is willing to install it for me for only $ 50 Cdn ( Getting it installed this Saturday morning ... takes 0.6 of an hour ). The unit is still sealed in the original box ( never been used, not damaged, ... ). The parts manager told me the reason for the crazy low price was that since Volvo don't make the S70 anymore, they are trying to get rid of most of the accessories for the S70.
The sale started at 9:30 am ... I didn't get there until 11:30 am, as I had some appointment earlier in the morning. The parts mgr told me that they had 5 of them. When I got there, there was only 2 left ( 1 sealed box and 1 open box ( the demo unit ) ).
Check my website next week, as I will take some digital pics of it when it is installed into my Volvo.
