2006 XC70 went for WAAAY more than I was considering..... it was over $2K! I think it being AWD and almost winter is making for crazy pricing.

God I miss that guy. Going to drink one in his memory tonight.
Here is one for never having to guess how he felt about something?

:D :D :D


And Matt’s famous post... “ Why can’t you be a normal human being?”

He never took it personally, he knew he was a grumpy gruff guy but was true to self. Met him twice and the history was incredible.

RIP, Jim

So just to bring closure to this thread, both cars ended up going higher than I was willing to spend given their individual details. I did however buy another FWD P80. It's a 99 S70 and I started a thread about it in the P80 forum.
