Would you buy this 2000 V70-XC?

03 and 04 P2 cars are also ok to buy. My daughters 04 V70 now has 205k on the clock and has been trouble free so far.

The motor is solid on these cars and so is the 4 speed transmission as long as it's serviced properly. The AWD can always be converted back to FWD, ultimately that's really what the chassis is (FWD). But if yo u do but it then service the Angle Gear fluid immediately and rear differential fluid. Check the center carrier bearing for any play beyond spec. Everything can be repaired or replaced but that depends on why your buying it. I fell in love with the P80 chassis and I really need the AWD during winter because I use her in middle of night for work doing a lot of driving in worst weather so AWD is a must.
Doesn't the 2000 have the newer 5 speed? My 1998 had the 4 speed. June

I believe the 2000 P80 chassis ' V70R had a 5 A/T and the 2000 P2 chassis V70XC had a 5 A/T.
