Hey br/o/s,
I'm looking at a 2000 Volvo s70 glt for sale. It's a 2.4l awd with 107k. It's $1750. I'm wondering how reliable they are. I don't want any issues as this will be my sisters winter car who lives out of state. Her bf can do oil changes and that's about it. It has a turbo charged 5 cylinder B5254t engine and I'm not sure what transmission. Do the transmissions or motors grenade before 150k frequently etc. Thanks in advance
Be prepared for possible ETM failure (The Fly-by-wire throttle module) I had a 2000 S70 and when that failed, It was about a $800 fix at the time ( a few years ago)
but if it's been maintained properly and the fluids are kept up, It should be fine. My S70 has over 200k on it and still ran pretty good.
Just remember, it's foreign so parts will be a little more expensive and harder to replace.
Mine wasn't AWD or Turbo, so I can't say.... Maybe the Turbo AWDs used a standard cable throttle... Not sure.

Any other input?
1996 tercel is best winter beater
