1999 S70 2.5 Petrol Auto - spares or repair
Hello,
I was hoping to keep my 1999 S70 for a few more years, but having been told by the garage that it will cost me A LOT of money to repair, I have decided to sell it and get another new-to-me Volvo. The problems with the car include ABS, disc pads, suspension, among others, and it is located in S. Bucks. This might suit someone who is looking for a car to tinker with. I would like about £350 for it, so if you are interested, please make me an offer in a private message. |

Is the car really that expensive to repair? I've an s70 and replaced most parts, and some garages will say '' that work is more then the cars worth '' really, thanks Mr mechanic for that useful information! You can get most parts cheap online and be a shame to give up on a car you was hoping to keep.

Your right you can get parts cheap online, and then some garages will fit your own parts. But u have to be really sure they are the correct parts and that can be tricky. Either they supply wrong parts, or there are several options for the same part and they have to see it to make sure right one etc Last edited by ALBERT10; Oct 15th, 2014 at 17:08. |

I see people go through 2-3 used cars in 2-3 years because they refuse to pay money on labour or repairs but if they stuck with the first car and got it repaired it would have worked out cheaper in the long run and they have a car they have repaired and got to a good standard. |
