For sale is my 98 V70 T5 with a manual transmission. It has 195,490 miles on it but still drives well. The clutch does not slip and the transmission shifts smoothly through all of the gears. I bought the car about 6 years ago. I did a lot of work on the car over the years and I love the car but I was ready to move to something newer. I think the price is pretty fair for a running and driving car. Given the mileage, it may be worth more in parts if someone is interested in buying it just to part out. I tried to disclose all of the various issues to the best of my knowledge. The car is located in Philadelphia (Fishtown). I have this car listed on some Volvo enthusiast forums as well. It is probably best for someone who knows these Volvos but I always see some obscure stuff on these forums so I figured I would give listing it here a shot. Email is the best way to get a hold of me, billabond1@gmail.com. Let me know if you have any questions.

Good:
• Head Gasket replaced at about 150k. No issues since.
• Timing belt, tensioner, water pump, idler and serpentine belt done at the same time.
• Front left wheel bearing around the same time
• Steering rack from Rack Doctor replaced about 10k miles ago
• New radiator within last 15k miles
• Redline MTL in the transmission
• IPD front and rear sway bars
• 16" Meteors with Conti DWS (less than 15k miles)
• Spare set of 15" Antlias with Michelin X-Ice snow tires (at least one or two seasons left on them)
• 99 v70 seats in pretty good condition. Just a little wear on the driver seat bolster
• No delamination on any of the door panels
• Rear spoiler with built-in third brake light
• Rear cargo cover in excellent condition. I never installed it.
• Volvo 440 side markers
• VDO boost gauge
• Older Eclipse head unit with AUX
• PA inspection and emissions until 12/18
Bad:
• Fair amount of exterior cosmetic damage. The car has lived in Philadelphia and has been bumped, scraped, and bruised. Front left corner of the bumper is cracked and badly repaired.
• ABS and Tracs lights are on. Speedo works fine.
• Driver's door hinge is broken so it does not stop at the notches
• Oil leak, not terrible but not great either. Not exactly sure what it is, but I think it is the oil cooler lines.
• Small exhaust leak. The exhaust on this car has been repaired many times. This may need some attention.
• Sometimes clunks when putting the car in first after coming to a stop. This is a common issue with the m56 transmissions caused by slack somewhere in the driveline.
• Intermittent issues with the interior map light switches.
• Broken trim piece on rear passenger seat.
