Model confusion

Hello,
I'm Marco from South Carolina. New to the forum, just wanted to introduce myself and ask my first question.

Actually, most of my questions have been answered in the repair database -- Thanks so much to all concerned for that resource!

My Volvo is a 1998 V70 Cross Country. I notice when looking up parts at FCP Groton that they come up as for a 1998 XC70. I thought the XC70 came out in a later year.

So, what model did I buy? Is the V70 XC the same as an XC70?

Welcome to MVS, Marco,
Although technically, incorrect, both cars are the same- buy parts with peace of mind, there was only one XC in '98.

Thanks MadeinJapan, appreciate the response.

"technically, incorrect" -- Story of my life.

Groton is just very lazy
The XC70 replaced the V70XC in 2003.
Nothing is different except a reversal of the nomenclature.
