Purchasing 99 s70 T5

FWIW: fcpgroton sells the ETC part for $495.

What about the O ring problem (about $400) and the delaminating door panels (about $250 per pair) all of which I've experienced by 68K mi. I'm holding my breath and crossing my fingers regarding the ETC.

If you get a good price, buy it and spend money on an IPD exhaust and K&N filter --take off the intake restrictor plate near the horn--which you should relocate anyway. The performance was and is instantly noticeable. The rest you save for the ETC.

2000 T5, 70K and holding for the ETC
2000 base, 61K and holding (but w/100K ext warr)
