Considering 2007 V70R - Anything to know?

Post by zhenya »

I'm considering picking one of these up for my wife, and know nothing about later model Volvo's (we currently own a '97 855 T5). My understanding is that the '07 is the last of the 'real' V70R's and the last year it was available with AWD. Correct? Anything to watch out for?

If the car is CPO, I think the warranty is extended to 6 years/100k mile? Correct?

Thanks!

6 years from the IN SERVICE DATE (and/or 100K miles)
Yes, an 07R is a good choice if it has low miles and a good service history

I have an 04 S60R with 77K miles on it. I have had it since 56K miles and have not had an issues with it. The only thing I think it will need soon is new control arms and the timing belt, which is not surprising with this kind of mileage.
