V70R

Yesterday I passed a nice looking Volvo wagon that I thought my wife would be interested in. We went back to look at it and it turns out it is a 2000 V70R AWD. It was in excellent condition considering it had 100k on it. They are asking $11,900 for it which seems like a good price? Anything about the R's that I should know about? I know the differences between R's and regular models but was wondering about problems.

The AWD system on those cars is rather picky. Also, seeing as how that car is nearing 100k miles, it will probably start having problems w/ the ETM rather soon. I'd stick w/ a '98 model year if you want a V70.

Thanks, thats what I kind of figured. After we looked at it we ruled it out but I couldn't stop thinking about it so I thought I'd ask the professionals. It is a very nice looking car but I don't need the trouble.
