I'm looking into buying a P-2 V-70. A former 240 owner, I've spent all my spare timing fixing it up. Granted, it may be comparing apples and oranges because the 240 is a 23 year-old car with over 250k miles (although RWD makes it easier to work on). However, I'm worried about buying an even more complicated, front-wheel drive car with cramped engine compartment space. For V-70s with < 100k, how often do they run into major repairs when sold as former lease vehicles? What are common problems I would encounter within the first 100k miles? I'm intermediate in my abilities in repairing 240s, if that helps with advice. Another consideration is that my local Volvo dealer sucks with parts; I'm on-hold forever, they're not very knowledgeable, and even sold me the wrong key last year (valet vs main key). Thanks in advance.
