Need feed back prior to making a decision
Option 1
1998 S70GLT W/ 125,00O miles, Not all the frills
Option 2
2001 V70 2.4T W / 106,000, All the bells and whistles.
Have not had a test drive yet.
Both appear clean and no visible problems. Other than a price difference.

Trying to help a friend that is trying to make a choice.
I have read on both boards about problems, and looking for any other input.
Thanks in advance,
Steve D

I owned a 99 S70 and currently own an 01 wagon. I am/was pleased with both. I defer to Klaus for his recommendation of the 98. One thing to consider for the 01 is that at 106,000 there was a required timing belt change. I would suspect that it was not done. You need to verify it being done. If it wasn't or you can't verify it you'll need to make sure it gets taken care of immediately. Be sure to add that into the 01's cost.

The 2001 is the first year of the new model and NOT desired or worth the price.

The 1998 will need a little work, but if your friend is a DIY, manageable.

Tell your friend that the AC will probably not work.
