'99 V70R AWD -- any caveats?

Considering a '99 V70R AWD to replace my '90 780 Turbo.... Anything in particular I should watch out for, from any current owners?

Also, which engine was in this year/model? I vaguely recall a Volvo dealership parts manager saying that the V70R AWD had a 265HP engine, but I may be misremembering.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

that would be a 2000 model year.... 1999 uses the smaller 16t turbo and produces 247 hp, 2000 uses the bigger 18t (or 19t...can't remember) making 261 hp.

look for bevel gear wear in the awd system.
