Sweet car, loved my 98 v70xc until the fuel pump decided to go. Bought it for 1k with an engine leaking oil into the coolant. Rebuilt the engine in my driveway and ran it for 5 years till that fuel pump. Regular v70 its a 10min job behind the rear wheel, XC its an hours long job since its in the gas tank. After 16 years of upstate NY winters there was so much corrosion that pulling it all apart to get to the pump would have meant replacing most of it and the suspension was shot as well, cheaper to let go and I'd gotten my 1k out of it over the course of 50k miles. Still not as fun as my 91 240 5sp with turbo conversion, that car could move and sounded sweet.
