May buy v70 SE Wagon 2000, need help

Post by thebigwilley »

First of all, if there was a specific place to post this, I couldn't find it, I apologize.

So, I am looking inot getting a 2000 V70 SE Wagon
Dealer wants 18K for it, which according to Kelley Blue Book is a little much
It has 40,000 miles and looks to be in good to excellent shape.

Does anyone have any suggestions on specific V70 things to look for? And is the ETM an issue on these cars and is it something that can be replaced now or is it always going to be an issue? I have read the ETM thread about the lawsuit but really didn't get a sense of where the issue is today. Some threads said to stay away from V70's from 99-'01, others said its not a problem but every 100,000 miles....

Thanks to anyone who has any information. Thanks.

18K sounds awfully high, whether dollars or pounds. UK?
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

You can definitely get something for much lower than 18k. Be patient and look around. Good luck.
