Buying advice on V70 or XC 70 wagon.

Greetings,

I am considering purchasing my first volvo, a V70 or XC70 wagon 2002 to 2005. I was hoping to get some input from the forum on things that I should be looking for and what to stay away from. Any input would be greatly appreciated. My apologies if this topic has been to death.

Stick with 03 and newer for about 20 reasons
I have a VERY NICE 04 that will be ready for sale in about a week (if you're interested).
I need to do some maintenance before I will sell it

Don't bother with the 2001/2002 model....stay away, just stay away no matter how nice the vehicle is.

Thanks for your input. I think I am going to go with a 2004 XC 70.
