S70 Opinions-Additional S70 1999

It appears to have had the Tbelt changed, there is a sticker on top of the computer box. As well as a sticker over the location of the cabin filter. A small dent in the trunk will need waxing or touching up to keep the rust way.

Not a bad looking car. No bells and whistles.

I couldn't tell if the ETM has a yellow sticker, a white one means that the ETM is prone to failure.

The 1999 comes with individual coil over plugs, the coils can go bad and are $50 each to replace. You wait until a coil goes bad before replacing it, usually because a misfire code.

Not a bad price for a CO car, but carfax will tell you where it came from. Is that a rock chip in the driver's side headlight?

As to the shudder, it should not do that, unless it is running rich. Both O2 sensors going bad is unusual, but deduct the cost from the asking price. They are not difficult to replace. Usually, the O2 sensors get dirty from a vacuum leak around the intake manifold. Check the ATF color, the dipstick is hidden under the air intake behind the radiator on the driver's side.
