I have an 1999 S70 with 58,000 miles on it. A few questions for the forum. What kind of a lifespan can I expect? Is this a car worth keeping longterm? If so, what sort of problems are common with this model, and at what age or mileage do they commonly show up?
I have formerly had Japanese cars, and have had good experiences with them for well over 100,000 miles. However, with this car, I have had a substantial number of small problems to date (sway bar ends, multiple light bulb replacements, shifter problems, cracked leather or driver's seat, light bulb out on radio, remote unlock failure) that makes me a little relucatant to spend the money on the 60,000 mile service. Although the resale value is poor (and perhaps this is the market's interpretation of the value of this vehicle long term), I am wondering if I should take my losses and move on. Or perhaps my concern is unfounded. I did purchase this vehicle with the intent on holding it "until the wheels fell off". Any comments would be appreciated.
