99 V70R in rare color and low mileage for year

[scot850]

Again no knowledge on the car or owner, but unusual color (in 2000 only 9? sold in NA this color I understand).

1 owner and 87,500 miles claimed and $2350 US is an ok price if it runs ok.

I am a bit unsure about the car being correct as it has no interior on engine pictures, and the V70R badging looks wobbly.

I e-mailed the owner for clarification and he was a jerk in response basically saying I had to go and check it out myself.

As an Alberta car, an AWD, and sounds like it has stood for long periods I would check the following if you want to buy this car:

1) Proof it is a V70R
2) Rust in the rear sub-frame (see my thread on the subject)
3) Oil leaks from RMS due to standing as well as other oil seals in the drive-line including the rear axle diff seals.
4) This should have the 4-speed auto trans but again does it work ok, including reverse with standing?

There was another one for sale a few years ago with lower miles on it locally, and the guy ended up putting $10,000 into it to get it road worthy even though it only had 75,000 miles on it.
