Default I'm new....let me know what you think

Hey everyone
I currently drive a honda accord which i dislike very much and am currently in my decision process of getting a 98 Volvo s70 auto. ITs a 98 base edition with traction control but doesnt have a sunroof, leather seats too. MY parents want to sell it to me but take 3000 thousand off the value of the car. Its got 90xxx miles on it seems to be a very solid car. What is the value for a car like this.

Also, i'm looking to modify this car. I seem to have troubles finding aftermarket parts for it. I would like to get xenon, or projection headlights for it but i can't find them anywhere. MAybe someone might know where to find these and how much. Also an intake but that shouldn't be too big of a problem.

Anyone want to recommend mods that will make this car quicker without putting a large hole in my pocket THanks

Welcome to the forum! The Volvo you are looking at, by KBB price, for a 'good' condition is $5,310 by private party and $7,775 retail.

I take it that they don't make the projection headlight for the s70 volvos, because i've been looking for the past 2 hours and have come up with nothing!! Let me know if you have found something

Are you referring to HIDs?

Try searching on eBay.

I'm referring to the headlights that most new cars have. It looks like a lightbulb, and the color of the light is blue or purple or white. Do you know what i mean, kind of like this

I'm not sure if they have these for Volvos. I'll look around and let you know if I find something. You can get 7000k HIDs which will project brighter light.

Try searching for pictures of a 2003 C70 and see if those headlights are better looking than the S70's.
