I forgot when, but Volvo changed the seats and after a lot of complaining restored the comfort in 2008?

If you do your own maint and can handle a PCV cleanup, you shouldn't have to worry about RMS leaks. Of course, turbos can have oil seal leaks. The best solution is to use synthetic motor oil and change it every 5K miles, 7K for a lot of highway driving.

Get an 02-03 V70, sit in the seat for a long time. Talk to a dealer for 30 minutes, then take it for a spin, talk for another 30 minutes and assess your back. Then take a look at the engine, etc. Ask for history, a Carfax is worthless.
