After seeing kenny's message, I had to write a new thread. I bought my 1999 S70 brand new. (It was actually purchased in Nov. of 1998).

The car is a 5 speed, leather interior, manual seats (Requested this) winter package. Today the car has 90,000 miles on it.

Since new I have:

changed oil and filter every 3000 miles
replaced one fuel filter
replaced air filter plus cabin air filter numerous times as scheduled
Now on its second pair of Michelins. (First went 80 K)
One clutch sensor failure ($130 at the dealer) (Didn't stop the car, just sluggish)
2 Head light bulbs
Changed plugs, wires cap rotor (did this myself as preventative maintanence)
Flushed all fluids, coolent,brake fluid etc.

That is it!!!! The car still has the original brakes!!..I guese this is quite a feat for Volvo. So, I would say this car has been EXTREMELY reliable.

No rattles, leather looks new, finish is holding up well despite the daily beating it gets during the New Hampshire winter.

Hope there are some other satisfied S70 owners out there.



There must be other satisfied Volvo S70 owners out there.
