Re: About to buy used 2000 V70 w/148K miles--what to ask

I just spoke with the dealer. I mentioned the issues with the AWD system and what some have said can be problems with the transmission. He said he is unfamiliar with these problems but that there is a good Volvo mechanic in town that he would be willing to take the car to with me. I'm guessing the m...

About to buy a 2000 or 2001 V70 XC AWD

My wife and I are currently looking at some used V70 XCs. We started with the 2000 models and were pretty pleased with one that we found. I originally asked for some help in the 2000 and older forum.

I'm also only moderately competent with cars and have no real mechanical experience--yet. Can anyone tell me what types of repairs or problems I may...
