Re: Considering 2010 XC60 with 74K miles

Just picked up a 11 XC60 T6 R-Design and it's anything but slow. Very steady rush of speed that comes on quickly and without any drama. Fastest Volvo i've been in...

Re: What did you do to your P2 Volvo today....now sticky!!

Had a door buzz that has been driving me up the trees and causing intense desire to roll the car off the cliff, but only if driver window was completely closed. If i rolled it down even a milimeter it would stop buzzing, but my OCD would not be satisfied with this compromise. Took the door panel off ...

Re: Need help with purchasing decision....

Appreciate all the quick replies and useful info. I decided to skip on that car after talking to the seller the second time and doing the phone walkaround. One of the things he mentioned that got my attention was "there's a little oil sweating on the engine"; that's where i knew i should pass ...

Re: Need help with purchasing decision....

Thanks Joe,
I completely forgot about NADA guide.... That number does seem to be closest to real world values of this vehicle, so i'll use it as a base before i start bargaining ;-) Let the fun begin! I'll keep everyone posted on what happens.

Need help with purchasing decision....

So, the Volvo bug has bit me again.... I have purchased my wife's V70 about a year ago with great help from this website, and we're still very happy with that decision. I, on the other hand, went with my kids' nagging and gotten me a 2012 Fiat 500. While it's very fun to drive and very easy on the ...

Thanks! I'm sure two non-turboed bricks trying to race would make an interesting sight :lol:

Re: 2004 Volvo V70 2.4, what do you think

Finally got her home and looking forward to a long life together. The car was even better in person than was described, and with exception of few very minor/small paint blemishes (one seemingly from bird poop, and the oter being small scratch) it is pretty much perfect outside and inside. The ...

Re: 2004 Volvo V70 2.4, what do you think

Yeah, i had Volvos before, just nothing of this generation; as i mentioned earlier my last/newest Volvo was 2000 MY. Good to know the Marietta location is good also; I might give them a try next time i need major service (timing belt is due in about 20K miles). It's also more convenient for me ...

Re: 2004 Volvo V70 2.4, what do you think

Thanks for responses guys.
Chrism: will definitely hit you up if I have any questions. On my last Volvo (2000 V70), i used to do most of work myself, but for large items (or ones i couldn't be bothered to do) i would take it to Volvo Professional Repair in Alpharetta. That Volvo is still seen ...

Re: 2004 Volvo V70 2.4, what do you think

Alright! Super excited, as i've placed the deposit and going to pick this car up tomorrow at the Augusta, GA. This will be our main family hauler (getting rid of our current 2010 Mazda CX-7, which was super reliable but the seats/confort on long trips that we take very often was very bad). I am very ...
