1998 S70 Volvo Base Model GT

$6999 asking price

89K miles

Automatic Sedan 4-door 2.4L I-5 EFI DOHC Assembled in Sweden

Black/tan leather interior

Inspected in June 2004, alloy wheels, new tires, moonroof, electric driver seat, windshield will eventually need replaced, few spots of body dings here and there, body needs buffed, air works, good up-hill pick up, transmission moves easily, two leather tears in driver/passenger front inside door frames at elbows.

Vin checked...no past negative history, originated in NC as a rental/lease, passed emission

This guy's son purchased it one month ago at a car auction. Said he fixed a missing headlight wiper and fixed a turn signal and cleaned it.


Does anyone have any thoughts on this car? Thoughts on this specific car, as well as the average volvo s70 of this vintage would be welcomed. Let me know anything that could possibly go wrong, as well as what to look for if we go to look at it.
