re: The Price is Right S70

A used S70 is priced right for the kind of ride and safety that's included.

You can't even get close on price to a similar/comparible Bimmer for the same money. Japenese sedans are fine, but they have terrible seats (flimsy), zero effective head restraints, and are usually overpriced used and horribly bland. You only go around once!

Difference in the 98 and 99 so far that I have found is that if a fuel injector goes on a 99 then a replacement is only available by buying all five. Also the 99s use coil packs. The distributor cap is simpler/cheaper way to go. Also, only Volvo dealers can read the codes. Independants shops don't have that software.

All Volvos have service records so get the record before you buy.

To the Canadian poster with the head light problem. Volvo redid the wiring harnesses on the 98s with an upgrade. If yours was done, then there should be a tag installed on the new wires.

Get the leather option if it is in fact an option. I have never seen a S70 without it for up here in Toronto the place is crawling with them.
