Considering my first FWD... C70 1999

"runs perfect,shifts perfect,has only minor imperfections,needs strut mount on passenger side,ignition is sticking,power seats wont work,quater size hole where old strut broke,hardly noticable.car has 209k but runs perfect.1750 firm no trades, car has had only one owner with all reciepts interior is good has small tear on driver seat. pics on request,will post soon. "

Is it a soft top? Does it have the high pressure turbo?

The drivetrain is the same as all other V/S70s, just the doors and interior are different. The seats not moving could be a real problem, I suggest doing a search for potential fixes. Watch out for the window motors/regulators also. Look long and hard at the records.

What does he mean about the ignition sticking?

A 200K car will need a lot of front end work, bushings etc. If automatic, when was the last tranny flush? Ever? Does the AC still work? (hard to tell when the temp is below 50F). A new evaporator is like replacing the heater core in a 140/240.
