1998 Volvo S70 T5 Manual

condition: good
cylinders: 5 cylinders
drive: fwd
fuel: gas
odometer: 180000
paint color: red
size: mid-size
title status: clean
transmission: manual
type: sedan

This is a rare car. Very few were imported with this exterior and interior color combination, and with the manual transmission. Tasteful upgrades include a cold air intake, HID headlights, window tint, and larger Comet wheels. The heater core is new, and oil changes have been regular and with synthetic. Shifts smoothly, and the turbo spools as it should. The interior leather looks great, and the back seat still looks new. AC blows cold, and everything works. The body is straight, and there is no rust anywhere. While the paint shines, the clear coat is starting to flake in a few spots. Approximately 180k miles, and capable of many more. This is a nice car for the condition and price, and perfect for a Volvo enthusiast. Call or text for more info.

The usual disclaimer: I don't know the seller, don't know the car, don't know anything beyond what the ad says, and don't have any interest in this sale. This post is intended to potentially provide a match between an MVS member and his future Volvo, or generate discussion because of the car's rarity, beauty, or low price. MVS posts ads of cars that I personally would go to see with intent to buy.

There is one for sale in my area that has been heavily modded. Tan interior but other than that, T5M.

Those wheels and tires make that S70 look really well proportioned. Nice find.

Interesting comment, because MVS member ThinAir had a S70 T5M, and put Comets on it also. And yep it looked good.

Thats really, really, really red.

They didn't mess around with that paint. For fun, I emailed the seller asking if he'd like to add to this thread, or tell me additional anything about the car (that I'd add to this thread), but no response. The ad is still up.
