Just passed my drivers test and my dad passed this car down to me, except it's the dark green color. Runs great, and never had a problem besides flat tires, which isn't the cars fault
I just bought a 1998 s70. One owner (middle aged Asian lady), full service history, 96k miles, $3000 Australian dollars. I'm going to pick it up some time this week. Hopefully I can get at least 10 more years out of it.
I just bought a red 1999 s70 GLT for 600 euro from an old man who needed to sell it quick to afford some other things. 4 owner car with full service, 32000 km. They are really nice car but originally i was looking for the T5 or 2.5T versions, but for that price i couldnt say no.
Definitely a fact and truth, for the durability better do not take a volvo with Turbo, at least when there is a petrol engine, you want the Diesel D5 yes then you really do not want a turbo.
amazing handling, great quality, and an amazing exhaust note+a backbreaking ride (new orleans) Screw struts, double wishbone is where it's at-it's only bad in the front.
That is very true. We always try to do our own maintenance, whether it is mechanical work or cleaning. But with the newer cars that is not always easy. That is why I bought the AMC; no complex electronics! :D
I just got the exact same, dark green, with the exact same features (including sunroof) except TRACS. Also says GLT but it is a 2,5T 193hp. I live in Sweden and it is an import. In Europe GLT is 170hp version.
My dad got this from a co-worker for $600 bucks for my sister. She blew the cylinder head. $700 to my Grandpas machine shop. Best first car for me might buy in brand new volvo in the future.
Some people don't drive as much as others. On top of them our 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan is going to hit 84k miles soon and our 2008 Chrysler T&C has about 24k miles. We definitely love to rack up the miles haha.
the 98 is the s70 you want...after 99 the throttle control became electronic and a total night mare !! v70 trans burn out same with the s60 and the s80 pops head gaskets... if you in the market for a Volvo get an 850 or first yr of the s70 and they have a cable to the throttle body no electronic crap that breaks !!
@Caffiend160 I believe it's Fly to The Stars or something related to that... It's a fairly new song, so it'll be played frequently. I'm not that sure, good luck!
Horn is actually slightly deeper tone in real life. It's a horn that says, "Get out of my way, I'm a real man! Chick magnet coming through. Keep a close eye on your girlfriend."
Great Video Kyle. Could you do a detail video of a 2000-2010 ford ranger. All i saw on your channel was a test drive at night so i couldn't see much. Thanks
@civildefencehugefan You know nothing about what it means own or ride a Volvo so please don't say anything because BMW and Mercedes is overpriced and people still go rush and buy them, Volvo is in a whole different league.
Got my Volvo s70 2.5 Diesel 2000 home yesterday, works perfectly! Does anyone know from where i can get a Catback exhaust to it? or just a whole new sport exhaust pack to it? From Europe, since i live in Finland too.
Order the parts you need in Germany at a Volvo dealer, in Germany the parts prices are favorable for Volvo I have experienced, I live in the Netherlands.
You were doing well until you turned the atrocious music on... and left it one while doing your review. Don't fancy the idea of being able to get into the trunk via the passenger compartment, or the power trunk release.
@TheWarmplate Old volvos are cheap and great cars, you can find a nice one here in sweden for 10-15 000 SEK (not sure what usd vs sek is now but say 7-900 usd) =) Although new volvos are expensive as hell, its better to wait 2-3 years and buy then, still a great car to drive and ride in... but i rather keep my oldie =)
I have found this car used, and I am wondering if it'd be worth it to buy it or not. It's going for $675 and has 184k miles on it. Would that be considered too high, or no?
@TheWarmplate Very true it's not so much the price it has more to do with people wanting to buy status symbols to look good and for a lot of people Volvo does not have enough prestige, Which is b....... because are much better cars then say BMW.
Darude-Sandstorm. Heck this video is 10 years old and that comment was popular back then. Mubzi it's definitely not turn of the lights. That's like saying it's the light's turn to play a card or move their piece on a board game. It's All of the Lights by Kanye West. An iconic rapper who is hated by the black community (except me) because he endorsed Trump. It's SO embarassing how they just assume all the blacks will vote for them. If you're black and reading this: USE YOUR OWN BRAIN TO PICK WHO TO VOTE FOR! DON'T VOTE FOR SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ON TV (who usually knows nothing about politics like Lebron, Kanye, Taylor Swift, various actors, etc... they're all idiots who are good at one thing. Singing, acting, sports, etc... they know nothing of the real world struggle and are just trying to sell to more people). As the white folks say, "WAKE UP BLACK PEOPLE! QUIT BEING BRAINWASHED BY THE MEDIA AND CELEBRETIES."
