But it is a P3...............! It is not surprising they are rare in any format. I looked at one but bought a P2 instead as it is better made. Never regretted that decision.

That particular V70 P3 body style is the only Volvo that catches my wife's attention. All others not so much :lol: .

I liked them in terms of the looks, but the load area in the wagons is smaller. The other thing is I was warned by a Volvo senior mechanic I know to stay clear of them. In his words, "They are junk!"

Is there enough change on the P3s to truly call them junk? I’ve seen enough commentary on the SPA cars to believe that—guess I’ve never heard it on the P3s. No question the P2s are the best of the breed!

The P3s were at the point that they were getting more modern, and more complicated. So naturally they're "worse" than P2s, but I wouldn't say they're junk. The late ones with the revised 5 cylinders are not great.
The 3.2s, while they're underwhelming power wise, are pretty solid engines. The T6 is much better. But good luck finding a P3 V70 with a T6! They're unicorns.
