Short clunk when shifting into reverse

We are continuing to search for a a Cross Country and have found one that the seller says makes a short clunk when shifting into reverse. Also he claims the vehicle has had routine work done at the local Volvo shop but can't answer a question about why the timing belt was changed at 101K. Should I b...

OK thanks, Obviously there's something about the listing that's not quite right!

1998 V70 4cylinders w/o turbo, Underpowered?

Would a 4 cylinder wagon be underpowered for an AWD wagon? We drive pretty gently and not too much on the highway so could be fine for us.

Looking at one with 165K, great price but it's the first non turbo I've seen, can anyone comment?

Thanks Guys!

Re: AWDs in 98 more problematic than 99's?

Thanks very much! So can you tell me why it is these cars are not at the top of everyone's list when looking for a used car? I can't get over how much car you can get for 3k or there abouts!
I've been watching eBay and Cars.com, any other good places to look?

AWDs in 98 more problematic than 99's?

Ok I am new here and trying to do my homework before making a final decision... I have been told that 98 was the first year AWD was offered. Also, I have been told that in 2000 ford took over and things went downhill from there. Therefore, since I am in need of an AWD, the logical choice appears to ...

Re: Average life span for Turbo in 1999 V70-XC

I am not a DIYer, I know some guys who are but there's no promise they will have the time to help me if I get into a pinch. However, I am prepared to pay someone qualified I just need to know how sound the advice is since I have yet to purchase, and also what it would cost me (guesstimate) for the f...

Average life span for Turbo in 1999 V70-XC

I am considering purchasing a 1999 Cross County and have been advised that the turbo units on these vehicles usually need to be replaced around 110 to 120K. The vehicles in my price range are well over 110K for the most part. Some sellers claim the turbo is "working fine" and has no issues...
