Otherwise just rattle can what you have
I have seen those xv's with old Forester steelies on, that'd be cheap option

You'll have to drop down a wheel size. Plus you really need to know offset and rim width.
If you went to a 16" in the roundhole steelies you could get tyre like 225/65/16... That would give you a slightly larger diameter and your Speedo would be marginally out.

Haha, I'm in Aus, so sedan it is.

No experience, but just do it. Avant or saloon?

It brings up a good point... mental health is the most important thing. Far more than any old bits of metal. Hope the Volvo guy doesn't let his collection bury him.

Some car owners are so weird. Clearly the car is going to be left to rot. I've offered people decent money for otherwise worthless cars and the owners get offended that I took an interest in the car. It's really weird. The only good experience was when I knocked on a guys door about his faded, and never moved Volvo 850 r.... He actually got so inspired that he got it re registered and back on the road!

If you're lucky the interior isn't cracked to bits... Thats the big problem here, the UV destroyed the 80's plastic. If it has the all alloy engine they are the better drive but you need to wring their neck. The intake system is a bit complex so that needs to be perfect and all the suspension bushings would need doing. The dampers would be fine if they're original as they come from the era when Peugeot made their own units, and they were the best back then.

A little inspiration for you... Not an alltrack but you get the idea

They are still reasonably common here in Aus. Not many in good condition though. I've very nearly bought a few over the years but I don't need another old French thing.
They only look good with a bit of tyre meat on them. Thats why I suggested dropping to a 16" wheel, then you could fit some mild A/T tyres with a taller sidewall... Would toughen up the xv a little.
