I've never seen one that was split and with a mesh net. I'm sure someone would grab that.

Looks like a combo animal net or rear cargo screen. Lift up vertically and attach to roof hooks for animal net or horizontally as cargo cover?

Pull them, and make sure you get the hooks they fasten to at the headliner, they are different from non-equipped cars. Look in the V70 accessories catalog on volvocarsus site.
Current Volvos:
1998 V70 T5, 112k sat 5 years, still in mechanical coma (finally at the top of the pile )
2004 XC90 T6 AWD: 186k, 60 on transaxle ( traded in )
1998 POS70 N/A: DD/training aid, 236k but really about 240k, I think...ABS module( passed on to son who sold it)

11 years and only 31K miles. Is this bad for the vehicle?

Wow, that's clean! I would go over everything very carefully and do the timing belt really soon if it hasn't been done, but that would make a great daily driver.

https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/d ... 53857.html

It hurts me how Cambridge this post is
that sale post made me mad so i kindly informed him about the values of volvos inside and outside the volvo community and the absurdity of such a price. even inside the volvo community (like most of us on MVS) i dont think anyone would agree to pay $6300 or 5800 (his new price) for a 98 s70 that had 192k miles and only had auto NA with leather and hl wipers. for real though!!! look at the pictures closely. it has a few scratches, rims are scuffed pretty good. they didnt even take pride in cleaning it thoroughly before posting it. i suppose if it had 70k miles and MINT condition inside and out, then yeah i guess it could go for maybe 4000. yeckgh!

bmdubya1198 wrote: 21 Aug 2020, 09:43 Agreed... I can't stand verts. I'd buy a coupe though. Still not a huge fan of the C70. After driving one, they're just like a sedan/wagon except with less visibility.
To me they just look like two different cars at the front and the rear. Loses the definition of the sharp straight lines so the whole design lacks unity. But that's just my opinion.
i agree. i think the c70 lacks a sporty look and also those famous angles of the s70 and v70.
