Previous owners of this Sonic Blue '07 V70R?

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.

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

Wow! I just spent... and am the 8th owner of this silver painted charge pipe, oil stained underbelly, 2 Carfax accident reported, one needing a tow car and this is just for starters before looking further.

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

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

I bet if we fibervglassed P2 hips onto an Alberta V70R Neil could get his money back….
