Re: Buying Another XC

Promise. Lat question on this topic.
Engine catches fire. Rebuild or replace? Or neither?
Make that "questions".
And what else would have to be changed.
Just so you all know. I'm really only looking for a 2nd car. Just in case one of us needs it. We both work in the same exact part of town with the ...

It has flood damage. Now. Being a SoCal guy, I know nothing of this. I mean, we do get rain. Like last week I had 40 drops on ...

Re: Buying Another XC

I agree. Test drive I would do first. I don't mind flying out for a little R&R and driving them.
One reason I like the 3rd one is because of the CarFax showing a good amount of maintenance history.
I also have emailed all 3 asking for the records. Let's see who responds.

Buying Another XC

I'm buying another Volvo.
I love my 1998 V70XC.
I have a few in mind. Thought I'd post them here and get some opinions.
The 2007 seems to have high miles.

Sun Visors

I know I've asked this before, but I don't believe here. And since this forum seems to have the most knowledgeable members (as well as the quickest repliers), I'd thought I'd ask again.

Can I replace my 1998 V70XC sun visors with those from a 2004 V70 ? ?
I have to replace mine (driver side is ...

Thermostat Brands

I know WAHLER is the OEM thermostat. But are there other brands that are equal or better?
How about Stant? They have 5 different ones listed for the 1998 V70XC.
Anywhere from 9.99 to 25.00
I'm going to change out mine next week, and am looking for the best one out there.
Thanks for all the advice ...
