V70- what do you look for?

Post by AlanS »

So, in looking for 2005-2007 V70's, what should be forewarned about? What is it that I should expect to either find fixed, or need fixing?
Currently I drive a 1995 850...I am NOT considering the turbo, feeling that it's more to worry about and less mpg. Correct or not? I need this car to last a very long time.

First How many miles are on it?
They are a pretty good car as long as the maintenance has been kept up
If it has under 100k I would just look to see that all services have been done on time. This is not the XC model so the all wheel drive functions are not a problem. 105k timing belt change.
