Post by mrscullini »

i am thinking about a v70r to replace the '00 v70xc. i believe for the current generation the model years range from '04 to '06.

what are the key points to know about this model?

should i consider 1 my over the other?

how does maintenance compare to my current ride?

thanks.

All I know is that they get better with each year so get the latest that you can afford. JRL who frequents here is the expert on these "R's." Let's hope he drops in and sees this thread.
