I am one of them, bought a nautic blue V70XC in August of 1999.
Actually, it was a "leftover" because the 2000 models came on the lots, so we got a $5000 discount

Is that the one you just sold? That was a really clean car! It definitely looked like a one owner car that was cared for.

That wasn't the one. The white one was a 98' and very clean, but I was already the third owner.

The 99' was my favorite color, nautic blue, with a two tone taupe interior. We drove that car until 2006 which was when we decided we needed a minivan for the growing family and we bought a new Toyota Sienna

That's right, I was couldn't remember what color it was.

Who needs a minivan when you have a Volvo wagon?
