Default 1998 vs 1999 vs 2000 s70?

Okay well i know that starting 1999 they changed the throttle from cable to E-throttle.

But i'm looking into the base 2.4 s70s. I'm looking at a 1998 automatic with 257 000 KM or 160 000 miles for 1600$

I have a 1999 s70 2.4 base with manuel trans, 230 000 km or 143 000 miles for 2300$

and i have this 2000 s70 2.4 base with 5 speed automatic trans with 230 000 km or 143 000 miles for 2300.

All prices will be negociated before buying, but what i'm asking is, which of these 3 is probably the best buy? So far i've seen that the 2000 have the best reviews, 98-99 have the same reviews, but the 98 is the most powerfull year with 168hp and 170 lb-torque while the others years are 162 hp and 162 lb-torque.

Thanks for the help!

The one with the best service history and needs the least amount of work now.

Not sure what reviews you're looking at; 1998 would the only MY S70/V70 I would be interested in...

Heck, I just sold a '95 for $5,900 so I wouldn't say that. My deal is that I would only purchase a turbo.

Any of them. If the c70 is nice, it might be worth $4,000.

I'm looking at picking up either an 850 or S70 and has to be turbo. I'm curious about the last part of your statement. Can you expand on it for a complete newbie?
