Am closing in on the purchase of a 2000 V70 XC, and have had the Dealer go
over it to identify the larger issues.....

predicated by the 60:40 split rear seats.  I see the outboard mounts where

I have a question.  I have been having on occassion a scraping noise when I
apply my brakes.  I just had a check up on my car about a month ago when they
changed my oil and said the car was in good shape.  I don't feel it needs
