Looking at purchasing a V70T 99 model V70-XC70 1999

Six weeks ago I bought from the first owner a '99 S70 2.0 sedan with 225Kkm and FSH. Reportedly the only work done since new was the a/c.

It now has 230Kkm and, other than an alignment and a little grease on the steering stops, it performs flawlessly. Do keep in mind that the normally aspirated 2.0 engine is the least stressed of all (fine on the highway at cruising speed, even on hills, but not exactly brilliant when the light turns green), and that 5Kkm (3Kmiles) is hardly enough to draw conclusions from.

On the other side it feels as rock-solid as any of my previous RWD Volvos and still looks like new, which is encouraging.

I would suggest that you have a Volvo specialist do a pre-purchase check.

Best of luck,
