KBB.com says $5-7,000. The low figure is dealer trade-in. $6,000 is high because it is not auto. Remember, many Americans(US) cannot drive a stick and that devalues the car by limiting the market.
It is also Canadian, which turns off a lot of buyers. Ask him how long it has been on the market, dealers wouldn't want it for a trade-in. For a car you want that fits your bill exactly, offer him $5000... if it is any good.
The S70 is just like the 850, except better. 1998 is the last of the good ones.
Tell him about AC leakdown and a new evaporator will be $1200, the $150 to get the sedan trunk shocks replaced, etc. Do NOT tell him you work on these cars. Tell him you cannot afford the dealer charges.
DO NOT TELL HIM YOU ARE GOING BACK TO CANADA!!!!
