Join the club. I'm worried that I may be on the verge of impulsively purchasing another one. I'm thinking 850, V70, or V70 XC.

I would love to have another 850R/Platinum Edition. Just so damn quick

Do the 1999-2000 V70XC everyone hates them because of the BS ETM issue and they share the same basic engine parts as our Rs.

And it's got me thinking about manual-swapping my 850R. The RMS leak is getting a bit ridiculous, and if I remove the transmission and flexplate to deal with it, it doesn't look like all that much more work to switch over to a manual transmission, if I can track down the parts.

Really? I thought P2 R's were completely different from previous gen R's.

I think I've posted this in the past. This in the back lot of my local Volvo dealer. A mechanic there bought this one for his daughter, she didn't change the engine and the inevitable happened.

It just sits there. He's not willing to part with it for some reason.

Well the 5 cylinder is basically the same... Aside from it is bored out/bigger turbo etc... I was talking more about the sensors. Also it's VIDA/DICE compatible.

I had my wagon and sedan, 30 VIN numbers apart, both sold at the same dealer and bought from 2 different private sellers. I bought the sedan as a parts car for how much it would have cost me to replace the fogs in the wagon. Same tan interior as this one on the parts car, the wagon was charcoal. For such rare cars, there is another opponaut who has a twin wagon to the one I had (500 made), and I have seen another one around town, (sedan, 1000 made), now this one. Crazy
