2002 Volvo V70XC...having doubts

Post by FritzMissel »

I just purchased an 02 V70XC. I have a 30 day money back guarantee...and am thinking about sending it back. I have heard horror stories about 2001 transmissions...not much critical about 02. Am I missing something? Should I send this thing back? It is in EXCELLENT (seriously new looking) condition. 57K miles.

If you like it, don't send it back. '01's were notorious for issues. '02's were better, though from '03 on, the AWD system is better. '02 well maintained V70 should be fine.

02's can be just fine.
If it's a real nice one, keep it

Great. Thanks for your help. I really thought long about this prior to purchase and I'm going to trust my first decision.
