Hi there,

Going to look at a car on CL. Owner said it was a 2007 v70 2.4t. Can that be right? Has the 2.4t logo on the back. Really confused because all the brochures for the 07 mode year don't list a turbo variant of the 2.4 engine. I thought they just had the 2.4 and the 2.5t.

This is a silly question, but I'll ask it. There's a nice 08 V70 for sale with only 90k, but the leather is just terribly wrinkly and dirty, and every P3 I see is like that. Just wondering why that is? Is the leather too soft?

That's true. Here in the Brandywine valley there's a lot of money and a lot of XC70's. They just like to hold on to them.

Might just wait for a couple months. My brother manages a dealership and nobody is trading anything in. Usually he's able to steal a trade. I've noticed car prices going up, supply and demand I guess.

Thank you

(516) 303-2765. Phone # for CL add for '04 XC70 in Bellmore, N.Y. (Pretty sure that's Long Island). Color: white. Not my favorite and not super common for these if you want to source color matched junkyard body panels. It does have that rolling refrigerator chic, though.

Leather, heated seats ...

Hey guys. Just had a deal on an awesome well maintained XC70 fall through. Pretty upset. Anyway, anybody around the Philly/Southeastern PA area selling? I'm looking for well maintained and clean, no title issues, 03-07 xc70 or even s60. Searched on car gurus, Facebook (horrible), Craigslist, auto ...

Well the deal fell through. Turns out the wife can't bear to part with it. I doubt there will be another car that well maintained within a 100 mile radius. I'm gonna print this out and use it as a guide if I look at anymore Volvo's. Thanks for the help ya'll.

Wheel bearings are solid on all models but the XC90 - perhaps it used the same bearings, but the weight difference is too much for these

As pointed above, less known but rather common is sudden coil springs breaking - not fun when it happens and not cheap to fix for the rear ones which may break ...
