RE: S70 Reliability

Yes they are for the most part reliable.Make sure you get a 98 because 99--> have electronic throttle modules and you dont want that.One main thing that goes wrong with them is the evaperators go bad for the a/c.When it happens it will cost about 1200-1500 from the dealer to fix.Im not sure what indipendant shops charge.There is a lot of work to change the dash has to come out to fix it.For the most part they respond pretty well to mods.

Hey, are you still in the market for an S-70? I have a nice silver 98 S 70 GLT turbo. 89K miles, very clean and fast car. $9,900 OBO. Where are you located? I am in Rock Hill SC, and I can email you some pictures and more details if you are intrested. Let me know, Reggie.
