there are plenty of good '98s out there with low mileage for the picking. I know, I just bought one a few months ago.

I would go for the light turbo (GLT) vs the T5 or nonturbo. You get a lot of power for little money vs the T5.

As mentioned below the '99-00 are more sophisticated and have more electronic staff that requires software and repairs provided only by the dealer.

Take your time, find a one owner '98 s70/v70 volvo dealer serviced with a clean carfax and maintenance records, and you'll be fine.

Most of the things that break in the first 50K miles would have been replaced by the dealer under warranty or paid for by previous oner.
