2004 Volvo V70 2.4, what do you think

Yeah, i had Volvos before, just nothing of this generation; as i mentioned earlier my last/newest Volvo was 2000 MY. Good to know the Marietta location is good also; I might give them a try next time i need major service (timing belt is due in about 20K miles). It's also more convenient for me because i work down in that area also; Alpharetta was just more of a comfort factor because i took my first Volvo there.

Unfortunately, the V70 i'm buying is in Augusta, so ordering remote inspection is tricky. The car is one owner, and Carfax confirms it. Also, looks like every service on the car was done at Nalley Volvo in Marietta, and is documented on Carfax as well, so that gives me more of a comfort. The car is sold by a MB dealer and considering their high-faluting ways, i don't think they would put a cr@ppy car on their lot. Plus i was able to bring the price down by quite a bit, so that should help if any repair arise unexpectedly. I'll post some pics after I pick it up tomorrow.

Finally got her home and looking forward to a long life together. The car was even better in person than was described, and with exception of few very minor/small paint blemishes (one seemingly from bird poop, and the oter being small scratch) it is pretty much perfect outside and inside. The highway ride was a dream, and really reminded me why I wanted to get Volvo again. Here's the quick pic (couldn't embed the pic in the post for some reason)

Congratulations! That thing is really pretty. I'll watch out for it as I drive around T.L. - We can race

Mine is gold colored with the same rims.

Thanks! I'm sure two non-turboed bricks trying to race would make an interesting sight
