Looking at a 2000 S70, maybe to buy. Any Advice? S70 2000

My daughter thinks that a nearby S70 might be a good deal. But my experience is limited to only the 700/900 series cars. Here is a link to the car in question:

What do you think? I am a bit suspicious of the small oil leak due to "a loose oil filter." If I found that on one of my 700 or 900 series cars, I'd just reach in and tighten it up a bit. Is the price reasonable? Is there anything specific that I should look for, or at in this, or these, cars?

Is there any general advice that you may have about buying the S70 cars?

Do you think it a valid idea that I'd really rather she stuck to a 700/900 series car, because I know them pretty well, and think that they are less trouble prone and maybe even better designed or made?
