Used Volvo S70 for Sale

I really liked how dependable the car was. It has been through at least one severe accident and a few minor scratches and other dings and has never given me reason to not trust my safety while driving it. Has been gradually wearing down, but considering it is almost 17 years old that really isn't very surprising.

It is super reliable and continues running with over 220,000 miles on it so far. It is a little beat up, but you can't beat a car with a solid engine and transmission. There are some other problems, but they are to be expected on a high mileage car. The interior is falling apart, and the dashboard is squeaky. There is also a hole in the exhaust which makes for a noisy ride. The shocks also need to be replaced. I have taken it over a lot of off-road terrain, however, so my experience may not be typical. The gas mileage is still acceptable at 28 mpg. The motor is very weak now though! I think anyone looking at a 100,000+ mile used vehicle should strongly consider a Volvo.

The vehicle has screaming brakes that do not always feel as is they are fulling engaging. The sun roof leaks, which has caused a recurring problem in regards to windows fogging in the warmer months. I was told when I bought it the parking break had just been fixed, but that was not true (it did not engaged when pulled). The radio barely works because the antenna fell off, and the last owner put in a cheap stereo from Radio Shack. The interior panels are falling off as well. Other than that, it handles well in the snow and has good pick-up on the highway.
