I have the same one, too! S70 1999

Mine is also a Canadian car. I got it 4 1/2 months ago with 33K. It was a lease turn in and came through the auction with a set of mounted snows with wheelcovers. It has the rear wing, foglights, in-dash changer, stainless door sill protectors, and leather/alcantara (artificial suede) seats. The alcantara looks pretty durable. This weekend I got around to some spots from the previous owner and they cleaned up with a damp cloth. I think it has just about every option with the exception of surround sound. Nicest car I've ever owned. I like music but I am by no means an audiophile, so the stereo sounds great. CD player skips a little more than I'd like, but that's more a function of the 50-series rubber on the car. This car is much quicker than the 850 NA I had before, even off the line, before the turbo spools up. I think it's more a function of the electronic drive by wire throttle providing better tip in response. Mid-range torque is also better than I imagined with the larger turbo as I expected a certain amount of lag. Lag is almost imperceptible. Only issues so far have been sway bar end links replaced under warranty, main window switch cluster (to be replaced under warranty), and a leaky power steering hose that needed to be tightened. I just completed the first service, switching to Mobil 1. I will own this car for a long, long time. I think the heavy depreciation that all Volvos experience because of the flood of previously leased cars make this a very good used car value. Good luck.
