Looking at buying a 2000 S70, should I be worried about the dash coming loose? I have read about it on this forum and wondering if this will become an upcoming problem. Also I have run across a few volvos where the moon roof does not work, is this a common problem?

 

he wants $5500 for it, everything works, 125000 miles, good deal?

 

The dash being looose and the sunroof being inop is not a common problem I see in my shop but has happened here and there. You may or may not have these problems, and if you dont.... you may have a timing belt break and need an engine. Who knows what will happen to the car. Its a solid car with a great engine, buy it.

 

The timeing belt was changed at 102000, I think I will buy it and join the volvo crowd.

 

If you live in a warmer climate it is 100% that the dash will break.

 

$5,500 Sounds a little steep to me. Check www.nadaguides.com for value.

 

Well my dad has a 00 s70 glt with 190 on the clock and the dash is still solid, i have a 99 s70 t5 with 120 and the dash is messed up.. i bought the car like that but both cars are in so ca so i think its a hit and miss with the dash.. maybe you will get lucky.

and is it a glt or T5? how many miles on the car? price seems like its a bit high to me..?

 

it is a GLT with 125,000 miles

 

hi
it's expensive.
I bought mine 99 s70 glt 125k miles before few days , the moon roof and the glass not working, it's leaking oil and making smoke but it's very clean for $2100.
I'll spend sometime fixing it but i think it's price is very good.
i can show you the photos if you want.

 

Well I bought it for $5500, its very clean needs nothing, It did have a rear tail lite bulb burnt out, bought 2 at autozone for $4.99, drove it to a business meeting 200 miles, did not burn a drop of oil. It has a few minor scratches on the paint, very good tires, has service records up to 90,000 miles, and a sticker that says the timing belt was changed at 102000 miles. it now has 125000 miles

 

Cool. Welcome to the Volvo club. It should not burn more than 1/2 quart of oil every 3,000 miles.

 

All my car fixes not gonna cost me more than $500.
But of course I'm gonna do it by my self.
anyway i think yours expensive you could buy 2003 volvo for this price.
I will upload some photo when I'm done fixing my car in this week.
by the way my timing belt been changed before less than a month.

 

keep track of what it costs you to fix everything so we can do a comparison of what is best, buy one that needs work or one that does not.
