avoid 2001 and 2002. Transmissions have less than stellar reliability.
Your budget should allow you to get a nice one.

There are no V70T6s only T5s.
You should be able to pick up an excellent 04 for that kind of money, even perhaps an 05
Both good years
As was said, no 2001s and no 2002s

Kyle,

if you stuck with the '99 S80 T6 all these years, then any '03+ V70 T5 will be durable and very reliable. :)
