After driving my 88 240 DL for a few thousand miles by now (purchased in Sept) I traded my much beloved 2002 Ford focus hatch with 96K for a 98 S70 GLT with 150K. I know, crazy, huh? Traded straight across, $25 title transfer. Still have the DL wagon, too.

So I love this S70 so far. Wanting to know, the service light comes on briefly but goes off after the engine warms. Anything to worry over?

The car has no service record but appears to have been well kept. What should I look for? I mean, I've already bought the thing.

Also, it came with only one key. Did this rig ever have keyless entry? Can I get a second key just anywhere or do I have to go to a dealer?

It's straight, smooth, strong. Very nice power. No growling, banging, I just think who owned it wanted a VW (it came from a VW dealer in Seattle area).... I still like my DL wagon but missed the electric windows, door locks, and sun roof that my Focus had....

Any helpful comments very appreciated
