I did end up pulling the trigger and am getting comfortable with the new to me V70! It is a night and day driving experience difference from the 240. I'm going through a maintenance baselining right now (synthetic oil, filters, brakes, brake fluid, etc.).

Overall she drives great! I've put about 200 miles on it since the purchase, so still in that nervous stage wondering what problem that triggered the PO to trade it in will come up and bite me. The only thing that has happened a few times that has me concerned is that on 3 or 4 occasions she had a rough start. On one of those times, she didn't start until I stopped turning over the starter and then repeated, at which point she started right up. It feels to me like a fuel pressure issue perhaps, as whenever this happens, on the second attempt to start she starts right up. I will start doing some testing like letting the fuel pump pressurize for a while before attempting to start it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

This weekend I am going to replace all of the brake rotors and discs. I also have a timing belt job on the horizon for another weekend.
