I have had (4) 740/940 cars and currently run two as dailiy drivers for me and my wife.

I am looking to upgrade, mostly because I have been driving these for several years, both have 200k.


Found a 99 v70 AWD in pretty nice shape. (150K miles)

Last night I was saying to myself, wake up before you get into a nightmare of repairs.

These things need the dreaded throttle module repairs, the viscus couple and bevel gear are a bump in the road or a warn tire away from burning up.....

I think I need to just go in and do the timing belt and seals on my cars and stop looking elseware. I can't afford a lot, so I have always done my own work and get most fo my parts from FCP.

Since I'm on a budget, should I just hang tight.

If I get the v70 (history is no tranny work) should I pull the rear drive train asap asa preventative measure. Is the bevel gear still in danger with the rear wheels dissconnected?
