Hello

I come from the 850 tab...But I'm in the process of maybe buying a different model. I really like the 00+ models. I am currently looking at an 01 V70 T5, 150K.

I've read there are some issues with these models. DIM, Transmission, and ETM.

I believe the ETM has been dealt with, but I don't know about the other two.

My question is, are these years (99,00,01,02) cars to avoid?

Some people got lucky with the 2001 Volvos, most did not. If the T5 has a 5 speed auto box, I would look at something else. The DIM is easily(?) repaired but still around $300, not DIY.

Keeping it running is better than buying new
