Previous owners of this Sonic Blue '07 V70R?

Post by FireFox31 »

Are any of the seven previous owners of this Sonic Blue over black '07 V70R on this forum? It has lived in Louisiana, Michigan, Washington State, and Minnesota. The most recent six owners drove it only about 2000 miles each.

I'd love to hear about this car from any previous owners. Why did they keep it for such a short time? What problems does it have? Thanks.

That gives me the heebee jeebees. Note: in the comments there, there's talk of the R strut tower damage. I do see it in photo #101.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Agreed - that's an odd path and ownership pattern. Adds some doubt.

Holy guacamole, I’m astonished this thing fetched so much with so many red flags.

Anyone else notice the intercooler is crooked?
Also, it’s listed as having heated front seats, but there are no seat heat buttons on the CCM.

In another 10 years will we see these things going for $100k? Looking at the history of P2 V70R’s sold on BAT it appears that the highest ones are at the $40k mark.

I think I’ll just keep mine parked under its cover :D

Truly unbelievable, just downright batty! But at the same time, really really neat to see!
