1998 Volvo V70

Automatic

YV1LW5343W2358336

Up for sale is my well taken care of daily driver. I have a camper and recently purchased an SUV to tow it so I have no more need for a second vehicle. She’s had regular oil changes every 5000 miles with Castrol Edge synthetic 5w30 and Mobil 1 filter and is garage kept. Car comes with Draper tool to reset maintenance reminder light. This car will surprise you. She handles like a sports car, is much faster than you could imagine and seats 5 in luxury and can haul just about anything! The t5 in 1998 was a true performance version and not just a cosmetic package. A smaller bore 2.3 liter inline 5 was mated to a larger turbo and intercooler with 10 psi from the factory, producing amazing power. With a simple computer tune to 15-16 psi this engine will put out close to 300 horsepower. The turbo in this car has already been prepped to hold this much boost. I do love this car, and I want you to love it too. With that being said, please be aware it is still a 14 year old car with over 170,000 miles. Although well maintained she is not perfect. She has never been in an accident, flooded, ect. but has her share of chips, scuffs and a few dings. The interior door panels are coming un-glued in spots and the driver’s seat has come apart at the seam. Any significant problems I have listed below. Please feel free to give me a call at (203) 258-9433 or email me and come take the car for a drive and inspect it in person.
