Hi folks, stopping in to say hello. I bought my first Volvo last night after drooling over one for years. I picked up a white 1998 V70, it has right at 125K on the naturally aspirated engine, and is clean as my 2003 Pontiac Vibe that is immaculate. The only bad place is a small dent on the drivers side fender and a broken corner marker light. The downside to this thing is the fact that it don't have leather but I think I can live without it. My drive home to WV from Cincinnati was enjoyable in this car. I love the ride, the power and the look of this car. I'm not sure what it is about the V70, but it is one sexy ride

I'm looking forward to lots of interesting reading here.

Welcome to the forum; I believe we have quite a few members from Ohio.

Is Pontiac Vibe Toyota's OEM?

Once a while, you would find Volvo at a junk yard and that would be the first place I would check out for body/cosmetic parts.

Good luck,


JPN

Thanks for the welcomes folks. I LOVE this car! Here are a couple pictures of my new love... I need to get my Ducks Unlimited logos on the side windows still but it's been too cold and rainy here.
