S70 AWD, 1999, Rear whine? Help!

Post by SlickBrick »

Hi,
I found a 99' S70 AWD with 185k on body, 100k on engine. The only thing that worries me is that the owner says there is a whine from the rear when going above 30MPH that they believe could be the driveshaft :(. They are only asking $1,200 due to that and I really want the AWD for traveling back/forth to school... but I'm no money bags. Any input would be hugely appreciated :D! It has newer tires on it btw, so it's not that.
Thanks, Hollis
