Re: Looking at 2015 XC70 T6, help wanted

The scan was good, he mainly thinks the PCV system needs addressed, and then the usual belt/pulley/tensioner service people do. Said it drove well, maybe a wheel off balance. As for why a T6, I like it, lol. No fancy reason.

Looking at 2015 XC70 T6, help wanted

Hey all,
Just wanted some feedback on this car. As above, 2015 XC70 T6, 96,000mi. Had a pre purchase inspection done since it's not super close to me. Let me know if there's anything in these pictures that are highly concerning or expensive, I know there's a squeak in a pulley somewhere I want the ...

Re: Looking at a 1998 V70 XC, advice wanted.

I'm totally fine with FWD. So I'll keep an eye out for V70s and V70Rs. What years of V70 regular and R version are okay? Are the automatics okay in those? Sounds like the 2.5T motor is the one to go with regardless. Thanks everyone!

Re: Looking at a 1998 V70 XC, advice wanted.

I would be looking more for a daily driver, so year round use in Ohio. I don't necessarily need AWD, never had problems with FWD in the snow before. A manual would be awesome, but not necessary. Basically, if I'm buying something, I want all the wagon goodness but as bulletproof as possible.

Re: Looking at a 1998 V70 XC, advice wanted.

Thanks for the advice, between browsing on here and a Facebook group post that was 95% "that car isn't worth that much and would cost more in the long run ", so I'm not going to pursue this one. Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out!

Re: Looking at a 1998 V70 XC, advice wanted.

$2,500? That seems really low considering everything else I'm finding online is $3,000+ with double or triple the mileage. I'm sure I can't talk them down that much. There really aren't any aftermarket rear end suspension parts available? That seems insane to me...
Aside from that stuff, are the ...

Looking at a 1998 V70 XC, advice wanted.

Hello everyone!
I'm new here, looking for advice on a car. I found a 1998 V70 XC with 68,000 miles, clean carfax, seems to look good. I've never owned a Volvo, but I'm very interested in it. What are things I should look at or ask the dealership about the vehicle? Any pros/cons to this year of car ...
