I think the only thing original left is the gas tank. LOL, no, actually a lot of it is still original. One year I read an article that said his average repairs (other than services oil, etc.) were only like $167 per year. Not much was breaking on that car. He picked it up on a Friday and took it in on Monday for it's 1st 1,500 mile service. He was driving something like 70 miles per day back and forth to work. At 1 million mile, Volvo started the high milage club and gave him a 780 Bertone. He was having engine rebuilds at something like every 360,000 miles.

Talking 210K for me

My sweet Virginia Volvo, 1998 S70 currently has 210K and with a 40 mile commute (one way) to work now, I'm sure she is going to get up there pretty darn quick.

I have a 98 s70 with 22 miles on the odometer...stored in a garage for 15 years....just had to replace the battery...works like a charm....worth about 9000K

Unfortunately I think theodometer might have done an 80's flip...999,9999 and went to 0 again don't know -Shrug-

Turbo's don't really hurt gas milage. Only effects milage under hard driving.

If gas were FREE and there were no speed limits, I'd probably have 1 million on a few of mine.
