Hi,
i'm new to the Forum, My name is john. I currently own a Mazda 626 but the tranny is on its last days i think. Anyway, i'm going with a Volvo as for my next car, but since my mazda is going to scrap when the tranny dies, i'll get a temporary car before getting a newer s60

So my question was, this guy near me is selling this 1998 S70 T5 for 1295$ ( i could lower the price ) and the car has 340 000 KM or 212 500 Miles.

The interior/exterior are in excellent shape. I'll probably go and have a look at the car. But my question is, with 340 000 KM, should i even bother with the car?

Thanks

 

Those cars can go about 800,000 km if properly maintained. If the car looks good, you may get hooked and keep it. There is a buyer's guide in the 850 section. Check that out and get some buying tips.
