Re: What to look out for S70 98

If you read enough of the posts at this sight, you will get that sinking feeling in your gut that you just made a big mistake...forget it--with the exceptions of a few things the cars seem to be put together very well. The evaporator scare seems to affect 850s more so than 70s--maybe age, maybe the newer coatings and pollen filters..who knows but outside of the BB, I don't know of anyone with an evap failure and have not witnessed any first hand. Someone mentioned dirty wheels, brake dust--OEM pads do shed a ton of dust, but they stop great including in the heavy rain which is not always the case with aftermarket pads. Additionally in my experience that dusty softer pads are usually easier on your rotors which I'm sure others will argue that the harder metallic pads dissipate heat faster thus being more rotor friendly, so just IMHO. There seems to be a bit of whining about bubbling door panels..My v70 is a 98 with 54k miles--no evidence of bubbling. The cars drive great, the engines are smoooooth, follow the maintenence schedules and have a blast.
