Hello Klaus....and everyone else,
I've been shopping and have finally made up my mind on what Volvo I want (1998 S70). I've located a model that's a T5 with 98,000 miles. Offered by a Volvo dealer and has just undergone the timing belt service and brand new tires on all corners. I think it could be bought for just under $5,000. This vehicle will replace my trusty old 90' 740GL for daily driving to and from work. Is the T5 more costly to maintain than the GLT model? I did drive the vehicle tonight and didn't notice any pops, squeeks, or anything else. It drove straight down the highway at 70+ mph and was smooth. I was expecting rocket like acceleration when I put my foot into it......nice, but not like I had imagined. I did hit just below redline going through the automatic shifting...so I think it' producing full power. Any advise/ input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Vinnie
