1998 S70 T5 5 spd $1200

Post by greekone »

I bought this car this past February with the intentions of fixing it and flipping it for a profit. One thing lead to another and more problems than I had originally budgeted for had shown themselves.

I bought another S70 T5M last night and my parents want me to clear the driveway of my "hobbies".

On to the car, it's cheap for a reason. This car has pretty much every common problem associated with the FWD platform.

The car does have IPD sway bars, Bilstein struts/shocks and H&R lowering springs.

Silver on tan leather with 193K on the clock.

The bad.....

- bad RMS
- leaky cam seals
- leaky oil cooler lines
- needs tune up
- clogged PCV
- sitting on steelies with crappy tires
- needs at least pads in the front
- needs suspension work
- leaky radiator
- has black hood
- pass. rear door was repainted not so great, paint is flaking off at the bottom

all I can think of at the moment

The good.....

- factory T5M (1 of 361)
- clean title in hand
- clutch grabs great
- trans shifts great
- I put 10K miles on the car and dealt with all the problems, but it's currently been sitting for a few months

$1200 - I provide matching hood and matching replacement door

$1K - you get the car the way it sits

Price is firm, will entertain trades of all sorts. Iphone 4 and cash would be nice, pique my interest.

Pics from when I first got it (Titans are gone, comes with stock grille and ignore the hood)
