PM me the link and I would be happy to give you my opinion. As long as the car was taken care of, mileage shouldnt matter too much. The only expensive problems that these cars have are tranny failures (which happen ~170k-210k if the tranny wasnt taken care of) and rear main seal leaks (can happen any time if the engine wasnt taken care of). My yellow currently has 176k and it runs like a champ!

Edit: I also have a '98 s70 n/a that my sister usually drives. It has 133k on the clock and is going strong as well.

double edit: the s70 t5's make 240 hp stock. Thats a pretty decent amount of power
