After due consideration and reading of the pro/con posits...Da Wife'n Self bought a '98 V70 XC Wagon ( 70K miles ). During the Check Ride the car bucked at highway speed, check engine lite popped on and bucked several more time ovr the course of 20 miles and stalled once when coming to a stop....Owner ( a stand up guy it seems) had dealer replace Mass Air Flow sensor and upgrade the Motronic software( advice from Steven I think..)...Problem seems to have gone Bye-Bye...so we bought the car....nice ride!

Only issue is the CD player likes to skip(factory in dash unit)...seems worse the closer to center of the disc the laser gets...should I try and clean the think or yank it out for service by a Pro?

Time will tell whether it was wise
