The 1999 and 2000 were the first year with wireless throttles. The electronics were terrible and expensive to replace, that's why they are cheap. Go to an 01 or 02. Look at this board for S80, sounds like junk. The V70R is still impressive if you need awd, but that robs you of a lot of bhp. I like my 98 R, but the new awd is a big improvement(03,04).
My new car is a 75. Guess I am going backwards, but the unknown electronic gremlins scare me.

Merry Christmas,
Klaus
