What about year 2000 model volvo s70 with manual transmission. Any critic or advise about this car?

if you certify the car to be free of issues, it's fine, the car is reliable

Any Peugeot should be avoided bar the 404, 504, 505.

It is an established fact, not only in Nigeria. I dont even use any German car for your info.

The average German car has more electronics and wiring than an average Japanese car. More electronics mean more electronics problems.

There’s no such rule on which cars to avoid when they get used. However, you could definitely get knowledge about a certain vehicle from the user manuals they contain. And if you too wish to get a user manual for a certain vehicle, you could contact https://manuals.co/ for assistance.

Why won't the timing belt snap when you use fake timing belt and don't adhere to the manufacturer instructions with regards to routine change of timing and auxiliary belt kits? Prompt routine change of timing and auxiliary belt kits with OEM replacement parts will keep you free from woes and stories that touch. Use China parts and watch the car tear your pocket.

If you know Peugeots so well as you claim, then you'll know that they don't have timing belt issues unless you go against manufacturer specifications. Mannerless animal.
