98V70BASEBOY Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Can anyone advise (I did do a search), if the 1998 V70 GLT came in a turb and also N/A version? I've been discussing one with a guy who is selling, and I had a look at the liftgate, and it clearly says "GLT", but when I asked him, over the phone, if it was a turbo, he said no... Searching Google for V70 GLT points out that they all had LPT's and put out 190 BHP when new. Is this guy full of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Burnsy Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I think he might be confused. I always understood that the 850 glt's were NA and the S70 glt's were LPT. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was also my understanding that, starting in 1998 S and V70 GLT had the LPT, whereas the 1997 850 did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilled man Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 GLT 98 = LTP GLT in a 850 was a trim line not a engine line you can havea 850 GLT and be either Non turbo or turbo so a 1998 V70 GLT = LPT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhiteguy1 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 you guys are a both a little wrong. the 97 850s had the lpt motor. all other 850 glts were na. as for your question, all x70 glts are turbo. there is a chance that you are reading the badge wrong and it says gt.volvo did make a v70 gt which is na.

98V70BASEBOY Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 There is a chance that you are reading the badge wrong and it says gt.volvo did make a v70 gt which is na.Nope, it was pretty clear, it said GLT. So, it seems as though this fella is a little confused, or maybe someone snuck the GLT badge on the thing. Anyhow, looks pretty clean, leather interior, Eurorails, has 191k miles on it, and the guy is asking $4500.Anyone think that is a bad deal? I checked the NADA value, and the retail is $5200 (This guy is an dealer, but just a local used car dealer, and not a dealership)Appreciate any tips. Would like to get this, and give my N/A to the wife. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oreo931 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Failure.All 1997+ GLT's are low pressure turbos.a 1997 850 GLT is a low pressure turbo.From 94-95 there were:850 850 GLT850 T5850 T5RFrom 96-97 there were:850850 GLT850 T5850 RSome of the 850's had a "Sportwagon" badge, but that did not mean it was a turbo.

She just asked "GLT or regular?" I was like ... umm....GLT?maybe i got cheaper insurance... who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What maintenance has been done? Last TB? How's the suspension components? At 191K, even a Volvo is getting a little long in the tooth.At a minimum, I'd knock at least a grand off of his price.

fasteddyT5 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 If you want to know for sure if there is a turbo or not, ask him to take a picture of the engine bay. Its real easy to tell if its got a one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
