mavnick Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I am in the market for a new used Volvo and am considering the following: Pre 2000 S70, 96-98 850, or a 98-99 C70.Any opinions out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nader Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 S70 in my opinion is the most bang for your buck! besides non-sportcar coupes are for chicks and old people (no offense to anyone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaitz Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 It should be what YOU like. I prefer the body and interior of the 850. However, you can get s70 T5Ms which is a huge plus. There is a black 850r with a manual thats been swapped in the for sale section on here. What ever you do go with, they will almost always look better (in my opinion of course)with an R front spoiler, whether it be a c70 or s70 with a v70r spoiler or an 850r.

cmurphy2266 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 As stated above, the fact that you can get S70's in a Manual and a High Pressure turbo is awesome. Also, have you considered a C70 HPT Manual? I think they are some of the most beautiful cars on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the convenience of four doors on an 850 would be a plus. I see there is an 1996 850R on Craig's list in the SF Bay Area. It is a bit out of my price range though.

Aequitas_Veritas Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 get whatever you like, 850s and s70s are both very similer cars. I prefer the styling of an 850, but alot of people like the s70, so get what you like, but everyone can agree that whatever you get make sure its a T5 cause those are the only ones with any potential for performance, but they both have equal looks potential.

NWC70 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 besides non-sportcar coupes are for chicks and old people (no offense to anyone)So non-sportscar sedans are for who? If you have a car to drive in the mean time I would wait out for a 98 x70 t5m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
