Should You Buy a 1998 V70 R with High Mileage? Longtime MVS member and Volvo guru precopster asked, and answered, this very question. Note this car needed a good deal of engine work. Bottom line is $2,000 asking price for a car with 380k kilometres and a head thatās been removed with bent valves.
Nothing wrong with the V70R, absolutely a nice sleeper car. Unmodified itās still a great car to drive. The R models 2003-2007 are a special bunch. Not to be confused with āR Designā from later years (thatās just a trim level option on a normal Volvo). The true R models were beefed up models with improved everything.
Motor and transmission were super strong and sure I couldāve gotten it past 300k no problem. 98 v70 t5 - 203k miles when engine went. My only Volvo that gave me constant issues but still never left me stranded. 07 v50 - 232k miles when transmission started to go and had too many other little issues.The P2 generation R remained Volvo's most powerful turbocharged model until the introduction of the 325hp "T6" turbocharged six-cylinder enhanced with the Polestar tune.
