Volvo S70 Made from 1998 to 2000, this sporty model replaced the 850 sedan and instantly became a hit.

How many miles do you have on your S70?

So, Maybe $4,500 would be a decent price if the rest of the car is in GOOD condition. How are the strut towers and mounts? What shape are the control arms in? You can check the DIY 850 section and look at the 850 buyer's guide to see what you should be looking for.

As for the age and type of car, I really do not recommend these cars to anyone that is not a DIYer when it comes to upkeep. They will cost you around $150 per month to keep up.
Hi. Trying to gather a list of things to look after and take care of. You mentioned $150 per month to keep up.

What all does that consist of?

Man, when I count the cost I count it all. I run it a year and average out the cost. Oil changes, tranny flushes, tires, tune up's, then the necessary repairs. Just keep it up and post when you need help or want a little feedback.
