My boss's daughter is thinking about buying this car. . .any thoughts on the specific car, reliability? S70 1996

I bought a 98 s70 with 80k from a local used car dealer here in NH (he deals in volvos, saabs, etc). It was a lease car from NJ they had bought at an auction of leased volvos.

The service booklet was stamped for all services, and the used car dealer called the dealer in NJ and had him fax up all of the service records. The records showed that all of the electrical problems that were common with that car had been taken care of, and it had regular oil changes and the timing belt had been changed on schedule.

See if you can find and contact the servicing dealership and have them send you what records they have.
