'98 S70 T5 or '99-'00 S70 ? S70


I've been looking at ads and saw a '98 S70 T5 with only 59,000 mi. I also saw a GLT with 54,000 mi. Then there's the basic 99-00 S70's, which I've heard have electronic throttle issues. Then I read some threads on AWDs being expensive to maintain.

I currently have a '98 V70, which I thought could use a little more power that's why I'm eyeing on turbo models. But I'm really getting confused now since a lot of these turbos come with AWD.

I wonder what would be a smarter buy for less expensive maintenance costs and worry free driving in the long run ? Sometimes I think of getting a Toyota Camry and look like most other cars on the freeway...but then the Volvo feels safer and more luxurious for the amount of money I could spare (due to its low resale value :-)
