Got $12,000. What volvo do I buy for the money?

Hey all,
I recently sold my 4th Volvo (1995- 850) Man I loved that car.

Anyway, Im ready for another (not necessarily an 850) but wanted to poll a bunch of you out there for a year and model that might be considered a great buy.

Any help would be great!

Im in New England and was thinking of an awd model.

Thanks,
Eddie

Newest (latest model) V70 with lowest miles and most complete service history you can buy.

I test drove an 02 v70 t5 wagon today.
72k on her.
all records marked in book.
for $12900.

i think im going to buy.

do the turbo's have a tendency to fail over time?

Turbo's are strong on these cars....don't hear of many failures....have fun!

I guess you're into the wagon? From a personal stand point I would wait around for an 850 r. Although that could be a long wait to get one with decent mileage. But anyway, just throwin my 2 cents in.

I waited for an 850R and was glad I did...
