Asked by silverbonn Oct 17, 2015 at 05:31 PM about the 2000 Volvo S70

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

Know others say no more than $3500 for it but this car is SWEET. In fact,
were it not for the odometer, I'd think it brand new.
Has had all maintenance on time, one owner, 4 matching Michelin tires &
another for a spare. Everything works, incl. AC & heater & SOOOOO comfy.
(Seats feel like their hugging you.)
The awd is the real draw for me (tons of snow in winter), I was prepped to
settle for a 4wd ~ *never* thought I'd drive a Volvo!

Unless it's an immaculate, fully-optioned T5, you're not going to get $5,000. I'd go $4,000 max. I know what you mean about the seats. I have a '98 V70, and the seats are the best I've ever been in. Even down to the headrests, they're fantastic.

No problem. The T5 is the top of the line, high-pressure turbocharged model.

Is $5,000 a fair price for a 98 volvo S70 Sedan 5cyl fuel injected automatic? Has 203k miles BUT dealer recently replaced timing belt, brakes, battery, front tires, new valve job, timing belt w tensioner, water pump, radiator, heater hoses, ball joints and outer tie rods. Body is excellent and dealer will warrantee for 4 months. Dealer well respected for over 30 yrs..small family run business and sells nothing but volvos and works on them too. I see the kelly blue book is about 3,500 - 4,000. It's on his lot for 5,900 but will take no less than 5,000. A./C needs charging and ABS lite on..says he will fix. 2 Answers

Also meant to mention its fully loaded with leather interior. Appears he replaced the majore things...hoping I can get many more miles out of this...in this case is book value not a good guide given ...
