2001 XC70 V70-XC70 2001

Looking at buying a 2001 XC70 with no records at 129,000 miles. What should I look out for at $6400?

2001 XC70 update V70-XC70 2001

Good choice, 2001 XCs had a couple issues:
* Throttle modules which last 60k miles
* ABS modules which last 60k miles (!)
* Bevel gear problems unless you rotate tires every 7k miles (or use your spare)

We have one of the early early 2001 XCs, and also got a new transmission under warranty because it was slipping for a few seconds when upshifting from 2nd to 3rd.

Honestly, if you're looking for that generation, look for a 2002 or newer. The 2001's had lots of problems. Raleigh has a lot of used Volvos around Capital Blvd...check out Craigslist & Autotrader. I scouted out a few around there when I was looking to buy mine. Weaver Motorsports sells well-maintained cars, but the guy asks far too much for them. Service records or some kind of dealer/maintenance history are definitely something you want with an XC model though.

Besides your wallet? No history? Would you like to buy some stock in the Brooklyn Bridge? Your local Indie or dealer is about to become your best friend!
