Hi,

I am looking for a 96 or 97 850T but it will be nice to get a smoother ride with power. I have read quite a bit that the ETM/ETS (electronic throttle module) can give problem in '99 to '01. But S70 has a smoother ride compare to '96/97 850.

I have a seller who got the car from a dealer and has no history. He does not know if the ETM is under a 200k miles warranty. Is it by default warranted by Volvo for the year '99 to '01?

For DIY, are S70 much different than the 850s (I have a 93 850)? What are the horse power on S70 (all the type available)? How much are repair difference. I looked in repairpal.com and for a weel brearing job the cost for a '97 850 is around $400 where as '99 S70 is around $550. That is quite a bit difference.

Can anyone run a car fax on the following VIN. My e-mail is ronjonbarua at juno.
