Depends on the price, but should not be more than 6-7k i think( i am outtouch with reality, so might be more). On positive side it is 3.2 non turbo reliable engine with chain. On negative, it is 3.2 which consumes the same as 5.0 F150. I think older 3.2 and 3.0 were utilizing some weird water pump drive system which was updated for simpler(old fashioned design) in newer MY(2014 and on?). At the first glance it looks like not shot car, but tired. At those miles one can count to have issues with rear springs, trailing arms....plus it is awd...
What about this one. I like my xenon turning lights, looks like it has Blis, new brakes, interior looks great, less miles. Torchlight is famous for selling volvos.

“Past performance is indicative of future performance” etc so this thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87687 will likely predict many of the mechanical challenges that XC70 owner would face.
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!
