Hey All- I picked up a 1998 S70 T5M with 170k on it last month for cheap.
It needs the following, hood and front bumper painted, timing belt, ac condenser/ new radiator?, pcv replaced and will eventually need a new clutch.
I love the damn thing, but am worried I'm in over my head for repairs etc. I'm an average mechanic at best and can devote $400 a month to fixing it. I don't have a garage and have only a small toolbox of basic tools.
I want your opinions on what I should do. Fix, sell, trade? Anyone want to swap their flawless S70t5 auto?
I might add, there is a guy willing to swap his 1998 V70R with 200k on it. Seems to be in good condition. Throw that into the mix when contemplating it.
