I forgot to note car still gets 34 mph on highway, 26-27 mpg overall. It has no oil leaks. in fact no fluid leaks at all. When I last changed the oil (220K with 0W 40) the engine shield was completely clean. I am confident this car will reach 300K + with continued proper care. Car is blue.

I don't know how to delete this post but car is no longer for sale. I decided to sell my truck (1998 Ranger w 274K miles) instead.I had mixed feelings about selling either one, so I put up both and the truck sold. End of story.

I enjoy this site too much to ever leave. I especially get a kick out of your off kilter humor.

My wife really likes the new V60. It is really plush-- way too plush for the likes of me.

Hopefully I will only continue to need advice for the V70. My wife loves the new V60. It is plush-- way too plush for the likes of me.

You just doubled my fan club...you and my Mom.

The power seat got a smilie because that's actually a design feature to stop you fussing with the seat while driving

You'll get another 80 k from that 2002!!
