1997 Volvo S70 T5, Blue Metallic, Tan Leather, Turbo 5-Cylinder, 175,527km, Rear Spoiler
1997 Volvo S70 T5 Sedan. 2.3-litre turbocharged inline-5 petrol. Automatic transmission. Indicating 175,527 kilometres. 5 seats.
Description
The Volvo S70 T5 is one of those cars that earned a cult following for good reason. Under the conservative Swedish bodywork sits a 2.3-litre turbocharged five-cylinder engine producing around 176kW, making it a genuine fast sedan that could haul a family and their luggage in total comfort while leaving most things behind at the traffic lights. The S70 T5 was the last of the classic rear-wheel-feel Volvos before the platform shifted to front-drive architecture, and they are becoming increasingly hard to find in good condition.
This example is finished in a distinctive blue metallic and presents well from all angles. The paint holds good gloss with clean reflections across the bonnet, doors, and bootlid. Five-spoke Volvo alloy wheels with Volvo centre caps are fitted with Ovation tyres showing reasonable tread depth. A rear bootlid spoiler adds a subtle sporting touch. The chrome S70 and VOLVO badges are intact on the bootlid.
Inside, the tan leather interior is the highlight. The front seats show typical wear for the mileage but remain intact with no tears. Rear seats present well. The dashboard is clean with the classic Volvo instrument cluster showing speedometer (to 260km/h, confirming turbo spec), tachometer, and digital readout. The wood-trimmed centre console houses climate controls, the original Volvo cassette head unit, and the automatic gear selector. Power windows on all four doors with electric mirror adjustment confirm the full T5 equipment level. The driver's door card shows the four-switch power window array. The headliner is clean and the boot is carpeted with a first aid kit present.
At 175,527km, this T5 is in the sweet spot for a usable modern classic. The turbocharged five-cylinder is known for being robust when maintained, and the comfort and safety levels are still relevant today. For anyone who appreciates a well-built Swedish sedan with genuine performance, this is a lot of car for the money.
