Anti Freeze S70 2001

I am looking at a 2001 S70 with 95,000 miles on it. (Private owner). One thing that struck me odd was that the antifreeze is red, not the usual green.
Any thoughts, ideas, sanity/insanity check would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I would be more concerned with the color of the ATF. Was it flushed recently and if so, why?

It is not a bother to flush the antifreeze and buy a new gallon. Of course, you will need to pour in 2 gallons of distilled water after the first drain and run the engine a few minutes to get all of the old antifreeze out (heater core, etc).

While the antifreeze is out, check the thermostat?

Keeping it running is better than buying new
