Would You Recommend a Used S70? S70

posted by  someone claiming to be Ed M. on  Sun Feb 17 04:40 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have a 1998 S70 GLT that I bought used with 28k miles. It now has over 85k miles. Great car with excellent seats, great breaking, and good overall performance. However, be prepared to spend a considerable amount of money to keep the car running--expecially if you have a dealer maintain the car for you. Parts are very expensive--I buy mail order when I can. Lights are constantly burning out and it seems the "check engine" light is always coming on. Most problems were fixed under warranty. I now have to replace the air pump. The dealer wanted $600. I can get the parts mail order for under $300. It's things like this that are frustrating. Never had to replace an air pump on any other car that I owned. Overall, I would have to say that the reliability of the car is below average. However, I put up with it(so far) because I like the car.
