Thinking about buying a 98 S70

I have a '98. Overall they actually have the fewest problems of the S70s. It's a very solid car - the engine and trans on mine feel as solid now (at 210,000 miles) as they did when I first got it (at 72,000 miles). But, it needs frequent repairs, and the parts are expensive. so cost of ownership is still fairly high. If I keep fixing it, I am sure I can go to 300,000 miles on this powertrain. Not sure if my patience will last that long though *lol*.

Just the usual precautions when buying any used car; suggest finding a good indy volvo shop in your area and have them ck it out before you buy.

You are looking to purchase a 12 year old car. It cost about $75 per month to maintain them. They can go forever if you take care of them. The good thing about Volvo's is, they don't fall apart like most cars. They still ride good, feel solid, etc., even when older. Don't have to worry about doors not closing, modlings falling off, etc.
