I'm looking at possibly buying a '98 S70 T5, 5 speed, 125,000 miles.

I've had an 850 for 6 years, but I don't really know the S70's, or the T5's for that matter.

Where do I start in looking at important items, and asking questions (besides, obviously, what service record is available, and what major items --- belt, etc. --- have been done, and when) ?? I'm particularly interested in known trouble areas on these cars, and learning from your bad (and good !) experiences !

Any advice appreciated !

'94 854; '95 964; '80 242GT

'80 242GT (gone but not forgotten)
'89 744 (good riddance)
