I use this site alot to find all the salvage yards in my area that carry Volvo parts. It uses your zip code and distance closest to you.

I have the same car and I'm also trying to find both front seats in electric with decent leather. I must have looked at a dozen cars so far and not a single one of them had a decent seat. You are better off replacing the leather with new seat skins as suggested by rspi.

 

What you can do is purchase a messed up car, take the seats then sell the car to the junk yard. I purchased a car, took $3,500 worth of parts off of it, then sold the car to the yard for what I paid for it. You'll see them advertised for more money just offer them less.

If you have a messed up S70, with a bad motor or tranny, you can't really sell it to anyone for more than $500. So if you find a car advertised for $1,500, go look at it, pick it apart, then offer them 4500 for it. Give them a few days and call them back. Usually they will come to their senses and take your offer. Make sure you whine and let them know you only want the car for the seats. Make it clear that you're going to trash the car after you take the seats and you don't want to loose to much money. Say it all nicely and it will probably work out for you.

 

Yes, I own three Volvo's right now. I bought the S70 for $800 since it had so many repair issues. The owner did not want to spend the money repairing it given the age of the vehicle. I missed a parts car for $300 that had a good motor and trans but was a '98 so I could not use most of the parts on my '99. I figure a non running car is worth about $250 sold to the junk yard. I love buying these cars and pulling parts from other part cars to make my car into a decent driver.
