Here I am. I'm back. $2800 from used dealer. 98 S70, GT trim level, white, unknown (151K+?) miles, N/A, all wood trim, heated seats, both manual seats, spoiler, 6-disc changer, Volvo caution triangle, no sunroof. Best of all, 5 speed manual, my dream fulfilled. This is the sedan version of the GT that June had.

This is the most neglected car I've had. Maintenance needed: speed sensor or abs module (odo& speedo not working), radiator, coolant, heater core, timing belt (kit), spark plugs, plug wires, turn signal housings, headlight Mirror Effect spray, front control arms, front tires (if I keep the Velocity VW10 17x7 wheels that came with it), alignment, intake hose, air filter, oil flush & change, trans fluid flush & change (I want to), new radio (factory 816 off), radiator fan rewired.

Thank you everyone that participated in helping me figure out the right car to buy. Unfortunately, I was limited in choice based on location and pricing. I am out in Timbuktu (Antlers, Oklahoma).
