That engine needs a timing belt somewhere in the 90 - 105k mile range. Is the transmission a sealed unit? The S40 is a cute looking car. I seriously looked at several last year. I found the interior to be minimalist and the car tends to command a high price.
Then, I happened upon a 2005 Lexus IS 300 in wonderful condition. It has rear-wheel drive, an inline six engine, uses 5w-30 conventional oil, has a transmission pan drain plug, the timing belt was recently serviced, and it's smooth and quiet inside. After some years with euro / scandi vehicles, my first impression with this car was "wow, it doesn't feel like something is going to break." So far, in 15K miles, nothing has happened; no leaks, no oil use, etc. All for $7800.
