Hi all,

In my constant quest to find another wagon, my attention is shifting to the 850/V70 model as a possibility. I recognize that these cars are going to be more difficult to DIY than a 940, but the later RWD wagons are very hard to find now.

I'm guessing that there is no reason not to buy the newest/best 850/V70 I can afford without going into the P2 cars (which look nice, but more expensive/complicated to look after)? Based on what I've, serious transmission failures didn't become a problem until the P2 V70's came out. Is this correct?

Thanks.

Brent
