I pulled the trigger! She is now my baby! Expect many more pictures soon! Awful weather out now so I can't get more. She's a 2000 V70R with 130,000 miles and I paid $1700 for!

Berry nice! And the one day where it isn't sunny in Florida you buy a car.

Woot! Now check your rear diff mounts, and clean out the drivers door window switches. Also make sure the drivers door check isnt falling out. 3 biggest issues I have seen on these! Also feel free to hit me up on facebook if you have any questions

You are a lucky lucky man. The V70R is my realistic dream car. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be more than a small handful of the 2nd gen ones around, and they're NEVER for sale (one actually belongs to the only certified R mechanic at the local Volvo dealership, and it destroys Evos and STis on the drag strip and auto-x). If you can find one in manual, it's basically the ultimate Jalop/Oppo car you can buy that's not a Miata. My hat's off to you sir!

Thank you so much! I was so thrilled when it showed up. For the price here, its unbelievable!

When I first started to look for first cars, when I was 12 or 13, a 98 Black V70R showed up for $6500. And I loved it so so much. It left and I havent seen another until now!

What a great car - may you sail many miles in her.

Oh yeah, beggars can't be choosers. It's such an odd feeling driving a car you actually own though, right? I bought my first car in full a few weeks ago.

Welcome to the fast-wagon club! Sounds like a good deal, and it should be plenty of fun. Can't wait to see more photos!

I'm seriously considering a V70R. I may need to try and pick one up soon, but the only example around here is listed at 9k. No thanks.

That's why I had to jump on this one so quickly. R wagons never show up and one for less than $2K? I had to have her.
