My situation is very similar. When my 93 240 SW became unreliable due to a hard to find, one year only ECU, I ended my five decade long love affair with 240's and purchased a low mileage 2003 V70. The vehicle has been very reliable aside from quirks such as the message board display and the driver side window regulator. The car rides nice, but I did find it a bit of an adjustment to deal with the substantial blind spot, on the passenger side of the car, created by the combination of sloping roof-line and large side view mirror (unlike the 240 series). I do all of my own repairs, and one of the nice things that I find about owning this particular model is that there seems to be an ample supply of parts available in the local u-pick-it-yards. From my observations the lions share of these bone yard beauties seem to be turbo models---just sayin'
