I seem to have acquired this on my trip to the rubbish tip today.
Dark blue, 1999 I'm told, five speed manual, no sunroof, Dolby (center dash speaker thing?) faded clearcoat in several small patches, no accidents but numerous minor flaws. Semi dismantled interior to get at the fuel pump, but looks ok. I'm told 240km with a fully rebuilt engine (recent) after a belt failure ... but who knows. The owner is older and said he cannot finish the project. Not written off, but unregistered. Runs.
I was interested in the manual gearbox for my V70, but perhaps this is a dumb idea if they are a rare car? Is the 2.4T model anything special, I have not driven or seen them. Does anybody know if if it's worth keeping intact as a potential project for someone? I still don't like seeing cars destroyed for the sake of a couple of parts if they are otherwise a good thing.
