Hey gang,
Sadly enough, the time has come to sell the S70. It's been an amazing car, but I need to get something bigger that I can tow our boat with and haul the dogs. I figured I would post here to see what similar models have recently been purchased for or sold for.
The car is in good shape...not great...not crappy. It still turns head and my local dealer loves it when I bring it in (everybody wants to drive it). It pulls as strong as ever and competes wonderfully with a lot of modern cars. I ran with an EVO the other night and didn't get embarassed.
Over the course of owning it, I've done a lot of work on it.
1998 S70 T-5 M
-SuperSprint SS exhaust
-K&N drop in
-iPd ECU
-iPd Anti-sway bars
-Shock tower brace
-New Bilsteins (4,000 miles)
-Bazooka
-Hella lamps
-European side marker lamps
-Limo tint
-Epoxy coated calipers
-New Sumo's (5,000 miles)
-Thule rack (thrown in with it)
-Grey floor mats (instead of the beige - they don't show dirt and they give it a nice two-tone look)
-Wood dash kit (looks great)
-Full Corbin Bra
-Blacked out grill
-ABS Module rebuilt (thanks to a resource from here)
-I had Magnecores but pulled them
Adds up to quite a bit....but it all works great and fits well with the car.
Now, there are a few things that need to be pointed out:
-Minor dimple on passenger side (dent wizard would pull it no prob)
-Rear wing is showing it's age (oxidized paint). Not bad, but I'm picky as hell.
-Front hood has bird poop damage (into the paint)
-Front hood has nasty scractch just above the grill (covered by bra though)
-right rear seat looks like it has water stain. Not bad, but I don't like it.
-Wheels are starting to show their age...no big curbings, but the finish is aging
-S70 door bubble issue
Other than that, it looks great. The leather is in better shape than our '02 SL500...it wears great.
Here are links to pics I took last weekend. I'll get some inside ones soon:

If anyone is interested, has an idea of what I should ask, or has any suggestions as to anywhere that someone would be interested in this car (it took me six months to hunt one down back in '98), PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
Thanks all!
-John
