1998 Volvo V70 XC Cross Country Wagon parts or repair. This was my daily driver until last week. I do sales and drive about 60,000 miles per year. I bought this car a year ago with a bunch of maintainence issues. I put a bunch of money into it including contol arms, upper strut mounts, brakes, lower mileage Nivomat load-levelling rear shocks (new ones are about $500 each. I put brand new tires on the front about a month ago (about $180). Rear tires were new last summer. Both front half shafts are new in the past year. I've also replaced the alternator and the radiator with lower mileage used parts in the past 13 months. A few weeks ago it started developing a miss on the #1 cylinder. Last Thursday it quit firing on #1 altogether. I bought brand new Volvo plugs and plug wires ($200) and it didn't help. I brought it to a local shop and they found no compression on #1. It never did smoke except for a little bit on start-up. I can find junk yard motors for $500 to $1000, or could have it rebuilt for about $1000 but I would rather just move on from this one. The body is in good condition, except for the rear hatch (rust). The interior is o.k., but the seats are stained from a leaky sunroof. A good steam clean would do them wonders. Driver's seat is pretty worn from 237,000 miles of driving. The cargo area is in good shape because I have the hard mat and the extra carpet mats back there. Transmission is good. Air conditioning works great. Glass is good except for one stone chip in the windshield. Wheels are original alloys that could use a good cleaning. The rear drive shaft is out of the car. The CV was shot. I've been driving it as 2WD for the past year. I can hook you up with a place that rebuilds them for about $500. Contact me with any other questions. I can take more pics if you need them. The car actually still runs and drives, albeit on 4 cylinders. If you wanted to drive it home a short distance you could, rather than towing or trailering it. Sorry, I should have washed it before I took the pics. I really does look nice when it is clean.
