Here's where I'm at with my New Beast, a 2000 S70 GLT:
1. Timing Belt, Idler and Tensioning pulleys, and Water Pump scheduled for this week. Serpentine belt too, while they're in there. Dealer wants about $1000; my mechanic wants about $700.
2. Brakes all around, including reman calipers and new hydraulic lines. $500.
3. Struts, mounts, bearing plates, spring seats, stabilizer linkages. Rear Shocks replaced. The Spring Seats, which my Mechanic saved for me, were completely worn out on one side; a full cup had become an open-ended "D".
'Twas about $900 for Monroe shocks; I've heard people are happy with Bilsteins too....
4. Oil change, of course.

There was significant rough rattling over bumps from both front and rear, and times of questionable control. All gone now. Pretty nimble little beast; getting tires all around at end of Summer. Other than OEM-supplied Michelins or Continentals, any other recommendations ??
