On this car, I would think about the following. - AC - if you really want AC and you don't have records that show that the evaporator was changed, then someday you'll be in for a $2000 repair. The car will work without it of course, but if it's something you want you'll have to have this in the back of your mind. Weird that the compressor was changed - I haven't heard anyone complaining of this failing, though there is the infamous 'clutch shimming' fix... - PCV - depending on the mileage since this was last done you might be looking at this if they've been replacing seals. Of course, this system needs inspection/maint/attention no matter what. - interior will likely not be in as good shape as your 1999 option - the on-board code reader system is awesome FWIW I just replaced my original water pump at 195k miles and it was in great shape - no play in shaft, no leaking/weeping at all. Just did it as a matter of course when doing timing belt - no sense mucking about with a job like that. Also FWIW I just removed the driveshaft and disabled the AWD on my car. The job was not difficult, the car drives fine with only a hint of torque steer and I probably only notice it because the AWD used to feel so good - AND my gas mileage is WAY better (I'll be posting about that sometime soon). -- 1998 V70 AWD Turbo 190k+ Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
