Potential New Owner
Hello,
I am looking at potentially picking up a 1998 S70 with an indicated <100k and asking price of 2k.
The car is cosmetically clean, I'll see how it looks mechanically when I drive it. Assuming that's all good, would the S70 be a good car?
That's a heavy question, but I live in the south and have a rundown '85 Porsche that I picked up 6 years ago and it has lasted me well with only a few weekends per year that I needed to work on it.
I'm moving to Canada for a year this fall, so I'm hoping for a good reliable tank that can (at the very least survive the drive up north) and keep me alive in snow (with proper tires). Ideally I don't want to have to do anything major repair/maintenance wise for my time in Canada, because I don't know if I'll have a proper garage to work on it there.
Would the S70 in general, and hopefully this one specifically, be my reliable tank?
Thanks
