Will!

The 240 has moved on. I sold it to a friend of mine about 6 months ago. It runs like a champ, mechanically is actually much better than my 940, but just felt...old.

On the XC70 front, I suspect the car needs a thorough going-over in the vacuum hose department. I need to press for more service records. My indy mechanic says the transmission issues on these cars usually cropped up around 100-120K.

The car definitely has some deferred maintenance, but I think it is priced accordingly. I've looked at a few of those $7995 cars on dealer lots that don't seem much better.
