1998 Volvo S90 - good car ?
Hey guys would like some opinions . My wife and I currently own four vehicles . A Boxster and 996 , a Volvo XC90 and my old GMC dually pickup . I am 65 years old and looking to add a comfortable driver for myself . The XC90 is primarily my wife's.
I have looked at Cayennes and other SUV's . I have looked at sedans from Mercedes/BMW/Audi/Lexus etc . Being retired I don't plan on driving a lot of miles per year . So every day off and on for the last 6 months or so I peruse CL and Cargurus looking at various models .
Yesterday I came across a 1998 Volvo S90 with 88k miles . Four door sedan with 2.9 inline six and Aisin 4 speed automatic . One owner with records since purchased new . All pics look good . Started a conversation via email with the seller and will call him soon . Holiday makes it a little difficult to meet .
Reading reviews online the 1998 was the last year for RWD and the last year of Volvo build vs Ford takeover . Reviews seem rock solid for build quality , safety , performance and ride comfort . This one has clean title history . Guy is asking 5k . What do you guys know about this last model year car ? I think for the price it's a no brainer . Thoughts ?
