Hi.
my dad passed away last year and had a red 2door 1998 Volvo S70 T5, manual. 198k miles. My son wants the car but it has some repairs upcoming. I live in Dallas FWorth area. Does anyone know a mechanic that could work on this car? Is a rare model from what I understand only 500 were imported in 1998.

Thanks so very much!

What makes the car rare is that is has a manual transmission and the HP turbo engine. Everything else is pretty common to the Volvo 850s which did come with a manual for the non-turbo engines. Good luck with that car, it will certainly have a good market value if kept in nice condition and I don't think finding a euro car specialist who's worked on Volvos should be that hard, plus most parts for repairs are readily availalble.

 

Thanks so much!
