Default Just picked up a '98 V70 AWD

Actually, I'll be picking it up sometime today. I hope this turns out to be the car I expect it to be. All indications are that it's in great shape, drives really well, and didn't have any noticable issue when I test drove it. Picked it up from a Craiglist dealer (after doing a Carfax on it). It's a 1-owner car with 94K on the clock. I've been around cars long enough to spot a good one. I'm 46 and have had more used cars over the years than I care to remember. My only experience with Volvo was a 1974? Volve 164 that my first wife had. This was back in the mid-80's.

Anyway, here's a link if anyone is interested: http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/ctd/789492957.html

I'll be using the search to scour past threads for info, but if anyone has anything specific they'd like to ad (comments, advice, criticisms) about this particular vehicle, please feel free to fire away. I think the price was fair and the condition of the car was beyond excellent. It was obviously well cared for and most likely grage kept. The paint and clearcoat are absolutely immaculate! Motor runs strong, tranny shifts well. There's a heavy feel to it, but that's probably because it IS heavy!

Looking forward to spending more time around here as I learn the ins and outs of the vehicle. Gotta run now, DMV opens in 20 mins!
