Re: advice on purchasing this car S70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be KC on  Thu Nov 9 14:29 CST 2000 [RELATED]



Advice: Take at least several other 99 loaner models for a test drive. Why? We took our 2000 in for service and got another 2000 model loaner. This car was an "exact" duplicate of our car, minus the exterior color. The loaner also only had 1700 miles, half of our 3500. My wife and I both noticed that the loaner brakes were extremely worse, the engine noise louder, and the suspension felt looser. My point is that these loaners must get fairly well beaten up, and there is probably some degree of difference between them...try several, and dont let the dealer know you've fallen in love with a car would be my other advice.
