Totally concur with Klaus's comments.... go 2003 or newer.
Why buy known problem/transition years. The cost difference is minimal
between say a 2001 and 2004.
I have a 2004 with 180K miles and am waiting for it to die so I can go to
something like a 2013 XC60.
A friend has the identical 2004 V70 to mine and laughs because he knows I want to replace mine ASAP, for the improved safety features...... his just past 261K miles and is going strong.
We have owned 240, 740, 940, 850, 2003 XC, All reliable cars that were driven to high milage, but.... I real, really want some of the new safety features like,
blind spot, etc.
Good luck with your hunt.
