New to Volvo V70 XC

Post by thinkingvolvo »

Hi!

I am new to the wonderful world of Volvo! Thinking of investing in a Volvo V70 or V70 XC (2002-2005).

Would love to know from all of you experts out there, which model/engine should I go for - reliability and low maintenance is more important for me than power.

What is the general cost of ownership, do they have any any common issues that run in the family? Any reliability concerns and maintenance costs after they are out of warranty.

Would truly appreciate any websites that can give some honest reviews. I have been a BMW driver so far, and am very handy in the garage with almost all jobs except opening up the engine :) ! Wondering how easy Volvos are for DIYers like me.

Thanks in advance!

Al
