Need to sell this week. Lowered price to $2900 for quick sell.
Volvo S70 used as daily driver. You don't see many of the these blue one's anymore. S70s have an excellent reputation for reliability. Currently, 161k mi. All around solid car and great ride for a cheap car.
Additional pictures available by request.
New AC System last summer (2015)
New timing belt (2015) at 150k mi
New Water Pump (2015) at 150k mi
New tires - Bridgestone Potenza (2014). Fronts at 75%. Rears at 50% Leather interior is in great shape - a few cracks in the front seat, but no rips or tears
Factory six disc CD player - works
Factory stereo - works, plus I have the security code
New Bosch wiper blades - 2 weeks ago
All gauges function
Average 27-30mpg 45% city, 65% highway
Has trunk mounted spare, with factory tools
Have original dealer documentation / manuals folder in glove box
Headliner is not drooping
Front right strut bearing needs replacing - squeaky
All around paint in very good shape except roof and rear deck lid where clear coat is flaking off.
Weather stripping along roof is peeling the rubberized coating. The part is made of aluminum, so no performance issues...just not pretty.
ABS light is on...it needs a new ABS module. Plug and play. Brakes work great, just no ABS until the module is replaced. I haven't missed it, so I haven't replaced it yet.
Please contact me if you are interested and to schedule a time to see the car. Title in hand.

I am fairly certain it's a 98' given the fact that that's the only year that came without side marker turn signals. It would match his signature as well.
