Mostly XCs for sale V70-XC70 1998

Hi,
I didn't want to make a disparaging point. I was wondering about the many XC's for sale out there -original sales numbers makes sense.
To your original question -no I don't think that you can count on the tranny going bad. My only qualification is reading this board and have paid a reasonable amount of attention to people's complaints. No tranny meltdowns that I could point to.
It sounds like you want it. You're certainly familiar with the 850 'form factor' and have you found that it's that much more complex than the 240?
Some folks question getting a turbo because they fear more complex stuff that might break, but it turns out to be no big deal.
The condition and records sound good.
You'd probably love it
