So I was getting bored with the reliability and mundane nature of a number of other vehicles that I have owned in the last 9 months since I sold the V8 XC90. So I was sitting with a beer one night and asked myself, what is the worst car that Volvo ever made??? A quick search here indicated that it was a P2 XC70 so I set about finding one...
Well not really I just bid on it when I was drunk but you get the idea. Anyway it was dropped off tonight. Total cost to date $1113. It is a 09/2007 build with 140k on the clock. First glance is that it is neat enough but needs two new tyres on the front and some new shocks. Total budget is $2500 with rego so I will see how I go. Has Sunroof, heated seats, High end stereo( 4x 75w) park assist folding mirrors and probably some other stuff that I didn't get a good look at when I hooked the VIDA up.
Errors codes are limited to park assist and an intermittent fault on the MAF but I will give that a clean and see how I go.
Photos when I finish stuffing around with my V8 BMW X5 that I also bought....
