98 S70 parting out

Post by stephansvolvo »

As much as it pains me and more so my 14year old... I’m parting out my 98 S70. I’ve got way too many non working and ones that need maintenance vehicles. If your interested PM me and I can take pictures and send those to you.

Sad in WA,
Stephan

What interior does it have, and the condition of your seats? And are there any 'new' parts in it under 1-2 year?

Was thinking the same thing... those seats are [relatively] beautiful!
