Advice on buying an 08 xc70 with 3.2
I'm looking at buying an 08 xc70 with the n/a 3.2 with 60k on it. Any trouble spots to look at? I know 08 xc90s had some transmission problems, but what about the xc70? same trans.? Any advice or recomendations would be great. I've had some older 850's and a v70, I just keep passing them off to my kids. Thanks

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.
Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Jimmy57 has been reporting on the 2008+ XC70 reliability and says it's good. Another 2008+ XC70s quality topic. Here is an 2009 XC70 fuel economy topic in case you're interested.
I plan to buy a new or nearly-new car in a year, and a late model, used P3 XC70 will be first or second on my list.
I was disappointed initially with the very low MPG estimates (15 MPG city!), but those have proven false.
2008 Volvo XC70 AWD
2012 Volvo XC70 AWD
Why?
