1998 Volvo How Much is fair for a Volvo V70R

Whats the going rate for a Volvo V70R that needs cylinder head work and more. $1800 seems pretty steep for no compression in a cylinder let alone a car that needs a engine overhaul. Thanks.

Agreed. Owner wants firm on price but "needs gone"

Nothing here to get excited about...looks like a beat on R

I agree- Pass on that one.

missing wipers, chips in clearcoat, iffy wiring, needs cylinder head, and has 328K miles. I'd start at an offer of $.20 per pound but only if he helps strip the ferrous metal out of the aluminum cast scrap.

If you're really interested in a Rare 98 R...

You'd have to deal with a tranny, but this looks like a MUCH
better deal on a fixer upper. That is a nearly singular car!

Nice.

TBF I think it's km, but at those numbers the units don't matter much....
