Post by tepp »

Hi all. Just had my trusty 940 wagon wrecked by a driver who ran a red light. Looking to replace it with a V70 from either 98-2000 or an 03-05 model. I don't necessarily need an XC but would definately consider it. Would prefer third row seat and integrated boosters on an 03-05 but they aren't a deal breaker. Please, if anyone knows of one for sale in good shape let me know. Thanks in advance.

If you want one in good shape, Jim can't help you. His cars are JRL shape, which is somewhere between cream puff and just off the Swedish boat.

Just rolled by 2005 JRL V70 5 speed to Boston and back....34 mpg in luxury.

I'm looking to sell my 99 V70XC with 127K, transmission replaced at 90K and in otherwise very good condition. I'm currently in Boston. Was actually getting ready to place ad.

Armabio then you should place an ad in the classifieds of Matthews which is specifically about your car.

Include items such as service history, and condition of interior & exterior. Some attached photos can be added on the ad

My 1999 has the third row seat and I realise my kids are big and I will never use it on this car.

I don't know if it's a drop in replacement, but if it is I would happily swap it for no-cost with the standard plate. I have both pieces plus the lower cushion bolster too.

I'll start a separate swap thread

A 3rd seat swap is not so easy anymore.
Seats and the floorboards swap in a minute but to swap the seatbelts, the hatch lock take a while plus the vertical, plastic, seat back lock receptacle (that hold the 3rd seat locked and in the up position) is almost an impossibility now.
You cannot remove the existing one in your car (the one way plastic clips will shatter) and they're not available new anymore!
