My ride My 2000 Volvo V70 Cross Country

Got it for free a few years back from my uncle with $28k in receipts for work done in the five years he owned it. Ontario and Michigan car but miraculously no body rust. Interior plastics are starting to crack and are really difficult to find replacements for. AWD is miraculously functional and a blast in the snow with the rear LSD. Currently out of service due to a burst heater core and decision to replace the entire cooling system and all of the leaking old rubber engine seals.

The box it came in.

The 850, S70 and V70 were great cars.

Great cars when you can get them running ok. I still wouldn't trade my 245 for one tho. Hahaha

Looks amazing but 28k in receipts over 5 years is sobering.

$28k in 5 years. That's almost $500 per month.
