I just purchased a 2000 V70XCse with 160k on odo, functional AWD and super clean in/out.
My 98 v70xc blew a HG after a bad hose leak while driving and the level sensor failure to set off dash light for low coolant.

Awesome! Enjoy it and care for it. Most 2000s I see on the road are in real sad shape. Though I can't talk too much... My exterior is really showing its 16 years as an outside car.

Congrats, and good luck with it! Love the color combo, it's my all time favorite.

Do you know what kind of trailer has been towed with it before? You might want to check the tranny fluid because these transmissions don't respond well to overheating. Ask me how I know :(

Hope you have a lot more luck with this one! At least you have the skills to tackle anything that may come up.

Also my favorite color after my Laser Blue 'R'. Always loved the dark Blue Volvos.

Nice score! I think that is the best exterior color for any of the '98-'00 P80's. And it's an SE. Would have loved to find one of those when I bought my '98!
