I've found a 2002 2.4t XC70 Cross Country that may be on the market for about $1500 unreg.
It's blue with a light leather interior with approx. 210,000 on the clock. It ran out of rego and has sat in a Redcliffe front yard for the last 7+ months. I was told that the motor ran well and the auto shifted smooth. Jumpstarted the car and it sounded good. The only things I was told wrong with it was the thermo fan doesn't shut off (now has a flat battery) and the tiptronic didn't respond. Everything else seemed to be working. I was going to buy it for parts for my car but I didn't need it in the end.
Looks like a good car for the money and should be an easy fixer.
Message me if you're interested and I'll contact the owner to confirm.
