I think you've already answered the question yourself.

I had a 04 v70se for 5years and loved it like you. The p2s are a car to like.
The only reason I sold mine was because I moved up to an XC90 D5 last year and didnt have room for both on my drive otherwise it would still be there now.
My missus bought a c30 D5 soon after me buying it so we are still a 2 volvo family.
If you like it and its been reliable, spend on it.
You dont say if its diesel or petrol but if its the gorgeous D5 163 manual then I would say definitely keep it till it dies (could be another 20 years life in it yet)

There are some 300,000 miler v70s about so yours is just a teenager still.
