Description
This sale includes one 1998 Volvo S70 GLT with several great features. Like many other Volvo sedans, this car is a workhorse that's been great around the city and also on road trips year-round. Overall this car looks great and clean from a cosmetic sense -- a potentially good car for a family, student heading to college, or a bachelor who does not mind a few imperfections for a car that runs great.
Please see the listings of many features for this car, which has 186,000 miles. Most of the miles I put on this car were during the last 2-3 years, driving from Atlanta to Oklahoma and/or Milwaukee (about 900 miles each stretch). I have not once had any issues during highway driving, usually getting in the 800-900 miles on 2.5 tanks of gas (16 gallon tank). Also gets good mileage and idles smooth and quiet in the city. In December 2013 replaced camshaft seal. Consistently starts, runs like butter since this repair. Replaced the battery in October 2013 (like new with AAA warranty). Radiator replaced in March 2013.
WHEELS AND BRAKES:
This Volvo S70 has new rear rotors and brake pads (one month ago), new rear tires and rotated (one month ago, driven 1,000 miles), new front brake pads (about a year ago) and new-ish front tires. Oil changes completed about every 4,000 miles (I have records for each, along with complete repair history since 2008). Replaced strut spring seat (left and right) in summer 2013. Left ball joint replaced Aug. 2012. Other ball joint work completed in 2010-11.
MUSIC AND OTHER FEATURES:
New wiper blades. CD and cassette player with surround sound that turns heads. Huge trunk, with rear seats that fold down and ski-slot in the rear seat arm rest. Gray or tan leather seats and matching Volvo floor mats all around. All of the power functions (windows, locks, mirrors, etc.) work great, though the sun roof has been temperamental in recent weeks (no leaks, and I keep it shut most of the time); radio antenna works though its retracting capability is broken (the motor still works but the up and down does not due to a slightly bent antenna, which picks up radio waves in the middle of nowhere). The passenger side front door does not unlock with the power lock, FYI (I am told this is a fuse issue), but other locks work fine. This car has one key for ignition and doors, and a separate key for the trunk.
COSMETIC ISSUES
The paint is black and overall is in good to very good shape with "normal" wear and tear for a car of its age (some small scratches from gravel or other cars' doors opened close to this car). As shown in photos, the rear corner of trunk on passenger side has a small (3-4 inch) dent, and the front bumper, which is covered with black plastic coating, has a few cracks as shown (from a car that backed into this car at slow speed). Rear bumper was replaced a few years ago when a car backed into this car as slow speed in parking lot (tore off my rear bumper but was replaced by insurance, I have records of this repair and there was no damage to body of car). I spilled a large iced tea in the driver's floor area and a lot of dirt accumulated in spite of cleaning -- I think a deep cleaning and/or carpet shampoo will resolve this (I just didn't make time yet to try). Car now has recently-replaced double cup holders in center console to prevent future spills. This is a NO SMOKING car (it came only with covers for the cigarette lighters next to gear shifter and in center console of rear seat, so you may charge a phone and run GPS from both lighter plugs). One tiny ding (very small) on windshield on far left side (passenger side).
HOW IT RUNS AND LIGHTS THAT COME ON WHEN STARTED:
When this car is started, four lights come on (on the dashboard): 1. ABS light 2. Tracks off light 3. Service light (this light consistently goes off after one minute of engine running and car in motion, and 4. Add washer fluid light (the washer fluid reservoir has a crack in it so needs to be replaced). The "check engine" light comes on every year, usually about a month after I spent a bunch to get the engine fixed to pass Georgia emissions (I have year by year records of work completed to pass emissions and will provide more detail to those who inquire -- most recently passed emissions in May 2014 through replacement of vacuum hoses, A.I.R. System Reactor Pump). Replaced heater hoses and turbo hose in Oct. 2010. Replaced O2 sensor in May 2010. Replaced lock cylinder in Nov. 2009.
AIR CONDITIONING:
Notes about the air conditioning: The fans work great. With that said, I put in Freon in summer 2012 and the cold-factor has been hit or miss at best in spite of replacement of air compre$$or. The heater works great -- will be super hot heated air in seconds during winter. But as with other Volvos of the 1990s (and other decades) the Swedish did not master air conditioning (not as much need for it in Scandinavia, I suppose). I've grown to tolerate having little or no A/C cool air, but this is an item others may wish to address. I can provide receipts and records of A/C repairs (including Freon installation) which may, through process of elimination, help the new owner get the A/C to the coolness of their choosing. Both of the front seat warmers will cook your rear end within a minute of turning on in winter.
