OK, thinking ahead to retiring Son o'Gutz, the '92 245. Came across an '01 V70 on FleaBay that's in my area. Just under 150K, allegedly the turbo needs work (oil smoke in the exhaust) and the sunroof glass is broken. I'll try to see the car over the weekend, but if it looks like it's going for cheap I may bid.

I took care of an 850 for 6 years and I've worked on 240s for 23 years and over 500K miles. How complex is a turbo replacement? My basic research here on BB suggests it's not quick but not beyond an experienced amateur, so I'm looking for guidance from those who've torn into one. And what's the routine for a smoking turbo - replace the whole unit with a rebuilt? Cost?

Then the sunroof. IIRC the headliner has to come down for any sunroof service, and I'm just not real good with interiors... something always goes wrong. Recognizing that broken glass on a sunroof isn't all that common, can anyone here guess at what a repair cost might be?

TIA!
