Word of warning, on my car everything began crashing at 90-100k miles. The car was dealer serviced till 78k so it was not an obvious ticking bomb. Same year and engine as the one you are looking at but in a wagon. I would be hesitant to pay the money unless all sorts of little things are in verifiably fine condition. You will likely need new front suspension components soon - my car needed everything, you should factor in a rear main seal unless they can prove it was done recently, factor in possible a/c troubles, potential issues with the head gasket, turbo hoses, heater hoses, fuel pump, etc... The normal maintenance items on the car will eat you alive. Just replacing ignition parts, timing components, motor mounts, etc. adds up pretty quickly. The 100k area will probably require an extra few thousand in additional items that are worn out. I bought my car for $4700 a few years ago and have probably spent nearly as much on parts in the last few years (and performed the work myself - so free labor). While that car looks pretty clean, it looks like a $3500-$3700 car to me. It wouldn't be tough to buy an S70 that is several years newer for the same money. I see them all the time from $4k-$7k around here. Good luck, it is a fun car to drive when it is running well.
