Hello, 1) You needn't lust. There are lots of cars out there. 2) You're on a budget, then fix your old rides. You are familiar with them, etc.. 3) It's way less complicated if you wait for a "Next Tech" car. 4) Is there room in this tight budget for a newer P2 V70? Fewer problems, more improvements. 5) Upgrades like a third air bag, working A/C, new ETMs and recent big maintenance have all been upgrades to me at one time or another. What are your needs? Who needs to buy an old V70 and pull out the rear drivetrain when he runs two serviceable vehicles which deliver big $ savings -you? Kira
