Opinions needed - 1998 V70 XC
I'm looking at buying a 1998 V70 XC.
170000 miles.
Silver with gray interior.
Body & interior are in good/great condition.
Ball joints & tires need to be replaced, plus one of the turbo seals & some other minor stuff needs repair.
Asking $2000, but I think they will take a little less.
Is this a good buy, given the current issues?
How difficult is it to replace the control arms w/ball joints?
Will I need to have the car aligned once I replace the control arms?
Thanks in advance for any opinions and/or advice you might have.

Regarding your VC or Bevel Gear
Hello, I've not read anything about "checking" one. Posters have said that drilling and tapping drain and fill holes is a smart thing to do. Many have claimed never to have had problems with theirs. Removal of the rear driveshaft in response to a bad VC or center bearing is often posted. I'd buy the car and service the bevel gear. Good luck. Kira
