I am presently shooping for a XC-70 2002
Is there any specific problem with that type of model.
If problems, what kind.
Is it economic on gas
What is the average price for a XC-70 2002 model

Don't understand your question when you ask, "versus the km/ ."

If youre asking how does it do on gas mileage, on XC's it's about mid 20mpg on the highway and high teens in the city. A lot of difference between '01 and '02. '01 was the first year of this style. It had a lot of problems. Avoid it and go for an '02...better yet, if you have the money, go for an '03...the transmission was changed for that model year to the haldex system which is more robust and less prone to problems.

What MIJ forgot to mention was to contact ME for your future Volvo purchasing.
I can get you a GREAT XC for less than you will pay at a Volvo dealer
