Wayne,
Saw your response and did not have a chance to respond.
I bought my S70 and traded it in on a 2002 Honda Accord Coupe. I had most of the average problems but the big factor that made me get rid of the car was the "big picture". Here is a car that I am driving and still owe money on. In fact more money than the car was really worth. I had 89k miles and was rapidly approaching the 100k mark (where you get another sizeable depreciateion). I had most of the common problems due to poor design and poor materials. The ones you see every day here on this message board. Things broke randomly and for no reason on the car. It was difficult to get an appointment to have repairs done unless you scheduled well in advance and on top of that the repair shops seemed to do more harm than good breaking more than they fixed on the car. It seemed to be just deteriorating and I had no intention of putting major work in it only to throw the money out the door on resale value.
I loved the car. I don't miss it though. I thought that the Honda would "not be good enough" but its quite nice getting in and knowing nothing is going to go wrong. The squeeks and rattles are not present in the new car as well.
Robert.
