Great Car for the Money
I bought my car used several months ago with 110,000 miles. So far, I am very impressed with my car given that it is 16 years old. The seats in the car are extremely comfortable. The car rides smooth and handles well in the snow. There is generous interior space for passengers and more than enough trunk space. Not to mention, this car is a great value with plenty of features for the money. The SE trim comes standard with heated seats and an 8 speaker sound system. My car has been reliable with no major mechanical problems. Overall, I highly recommend the 2000 Volvo S70 as a used car. I hope to keep this car as long as possible.

Still rocking at 216k!
I don't believe in buying new cars, so I bought this baby used in 2007. Since many of the reviews here are several years old, I thought I'd offer my two cents for anyone who is considering buying one of these OBGs (oldies but goodies). This v70 SE had about 85k miles on it when I purchased it. Today (10 years later), it has 216k. I love, love, love this car! If you can find one in decent condition, buy it!! It has been a wonderful vehicle. Very reliable, safe, comfortable. Plenty of room in both the front and back seats, and generous trunk space. (It may not seem like enough to you if you're used to a wagon or SUV, but it is a great-sized trunk for a sedan.) Have taken several looong roadtrips (3k+ mi.) with this car, and can say that it's been fabulous! Smooth, great acceleration whenever needed/wanted, and after 8-10 hours in the car during a long leg of the trip, you can emerge unscathed. Super comfortable seating. Even after 17 years, I average 25.5 mpg, comprised mostly of in-town driving and some highway. Great steering, suspension. The idea of having to part with it at some point down the road makes me sad. I spend approx. $1k/year on repairs and maintenance (normal service, tires, repairs, everything). That amount would make me bleed from the eyes if the car was new, but this vehicle is mature, and some amount of replacement must be expected. When I divide that number by 12, I still know that I'm doing much better than flushing a ton of money down the toilet on a new car!

Great used car value
Purchased 3/08 w/122K miles. Now 4/09 and 150K and no major repairs. Previous owner took good care of it, so if you shop for one make sure it was maintained. Mine has non-turbo engine, delivering 28mpg and less maint. issues. Seats are outstanding. Feels very safe inside. Nice blend of luxury and sporty looks. Car does not look 9 years old at all. Huge trunk and fold flat seats. My SE has leather, wood trim, 8 speaker stereo that sounds fantastic, heated mirrors, etc. I added a K&N drop-in air filter ($40-helps with mileage and acceleration), also added strut bar to help w/body roll in corners ($50 on ebay). I recommend for safety, comfort, looks & value: cost $35K new, mine was $3200!
I just love my Volvos
I had ordered this 2000 VolvoS70 SE ASR in 1999 and picked it up from the dealer in December 1999. Right from the start my wife and I had loved everything about it the comfort, drive, style and reliability that comes with a volvo. Now 10 years old and still going strong. I have had to do some maintenance nothing major. We loved it so much that and with the addition of children, in November 2008 we had purchased the 2009 Volvo XC90 to the driveway. The volvo S70 got us hooked on volvos and we never even looked at any other make. We love our two Volvos.
Best used car I ever owned
This is my 3rd Volvo and there is a reason that I keep buying them, and that reason is reliability. This S70 T5 is great. It's good on gas, comfortable and fun to drive, and it's fast. I love to hear the turbo kick in. If I buy another car guess what... Volvo.
