2000 V70XC Drive Shaft

[schmidm90]

Hey Everyone!

I am looking to have my driveshaft rebuilt. I have a 2000 V70XC and I removed the driveshaft a few months back when it was vibrating. My local mechanic told me to check out Mitchell's Driveline in Shrewsbury, MA. I dropped it off last monday and he quoted me around $180 to replace the u-joint and balance it. He called me back today and said the bearing was toast and both ends were in rough shape as well and at this point he couldnt fix it, but could source a brand new OEM one for $730. I know Colorado Driveshaft will send me one for $450, but I was wondering if anyone around MA had a used one in good shape that would hold me over for now. I'm buying a house so money is a little tight and was hoping I could fix this for $180.

If anyone knows any other shops in the area that will do a good job with Volvo driveshafts or if you have any used one that I could buy or have repaired (if its something small).

Thanks for the input! Winter is coming and I really miss having my AWD for the snow!
