I've had:

240's, up to 285k
740's, up to 250k
S70 currently at 140k (best of them yet I think!).

That is some awesome mileage. Is your V70 a turbo?

I have a 1995 850 wagon with 282,000 +miles.
5 speed manual. Gets 31mpg on the highway. Doesn't burn a drop of oil.
Got this car used a few years ago for $200, body and interior are in excellent shape, I had to install a windshied and a rear main seal. My friend is a teacher at an auto tech school and his students put the seal in for the cost of the part. Took the 3rd rear facing seats out and sold them on ebay for $425. So I got this car for nothing and actually made a few bucks.
Still running strong
