From what I understand, the SE has all the bells and whistles without having a turbo...the car is WAY, WAY over priced. I bought my S70 T-5 model (high pressure turbo) in great shape with 87K miles on it last year for $10,000 (U.S.) and I thought I was paying too much. The S70's issues are not bad...similar to the 850's so that's the A/C (though sturdier than the 850), timing belt on the '99 and up at 100K miles so you've got a ways to go yet. Make sure the transmission fluid is pinkish in color and not dark brown and smells burnt. I'd say it's coming off of warranty and so she's getting rid of it. Could be a nice car but won't have much power. Just make sure it has complete service records and is checked out by a mechanic who knows this car. Good luck!
