After five years, my father decided to purchase another Volvo, and he did so today. We just acquired a '99 S70 base, automatic, 39k miles, a one-owner vehicle that is in excellent condition. It is silver with black leather and we got it at the same dealership where we purchased my current car ('93 850). This car is really nice: it has traction control, CD player, power seats, I could go on and on. And you guys are really nice about providing advice, so is there anything we should look for during our initial ownership of this S70, i.e. known problems, quirks, etc? Here are the only two things wrong with it so far:

Driver's door lock assembly broken
Driver's-side window inoperable
