Used 1999 Volvo S70 Consumer Reviews
Last good Volvo
I have next to no problems with my car. It now has 90k on it and still going strong like Volvo's do. I would not buy a new one than a 1999, Ford really wrecked the things Volvo stood for (tank like and indestructible).
Dashboard problems
The dashboard began making loud noises. Dealership informed me that dash has come loose from firewall and needs to be replaced because when screws came loose it broke the clips holding it on. New dash is $2k w/o labor. Volvo has this same issue in 1997 and 1998 models and will not do anything about it. Volvo told me that if it happened within the manufacturer warranty (4yrs) they would have covered it. Extended warranty does not cover it because it is a structural defect. I purchased a Volvo for safety and for the long term. They don't make them like they used to.

S70 Sedan Review
Nice vehicle. Seats are very comfortable and engines gives great performance for a 5 cylinder. Tight steering and excellent brakes. Volvos are quite expensive to maintain but safety is the reason to consider a Volvo. I have a 16 year old son just starting to drive. Why consider somrthing small and not safe.
