I bet it was nice in a way to find out that a previous owner was an enthusiast. The previous owners of my V70 was certainly not an enthusiast but he did at least maintain it all be it cheaply..

Well this guy took care of it by looks of it, it's the person that's owned it between me and him who has ruined it tbh.
When I picked it up it was squirting water out of the rad, exhaust was blowing because the downpipe had 2 bolts in it, the wipers on the lights had seized so I removed them completely.
Wheels were kurbed to hell, the steering felt loose due to both lower arms being totalled, a gone passenger hub, 2knackered steering arms and joints.
Apart from that it drove fine lol xD, pulled like a train so I put the money into it and brought it back.
Sad to see such a cared for car turn to ruin after TDS3 Sold it on.
