I have a 2001 V70 base with 283k miles and a 5-speed manual.
I bought it from a Yale Professor in 2016 when it had 270k highway miles. So I am second owner. All records from him/Volvo Connecticut.
I mostly drive 12-15 miles/day M-F in Brooklyn and the occasional 90-mile trip to PA or upstate NY each way way. Is there a value in a sale? I need to upgrade in the next 6-12 months since I have two pup-kids (so my family says) or keep and go over all issues.

Typical problems - sunroof drains, alarm siren, central locks. FOB not working, one window - rear not working, A few minor dings (3), Upholstery leather cracked/torn, roof rails coating cracked off.

What should I do to make sellable/of value? Or keep it and upgrade/work on?

Brooklyn Volvo dealership did the AirbaG recall and only had one guy in the whole place who could even drive a manual. And he said it was smooth, strong shifter.

It sounds like you are having the usual nuisance issues. The car should last you a long time. I have a 1998 V70 manual since new with 479k on it now. Do you know if the clutch was replaced? My original made it to 320k. I changed it myself, but it is not a trivial task.

Hi Johnny,

It sounds like the car is OK and worth fixing the little items you mention.
*The sunroof drains need to be cleaned- see the 700/900 FAQ
There should be youtube videos.
* Rear window doesn't work- does it work with either switch?
do you have the rear window switches disabled?
* Seats ragged- Get seat covers, new skins, or re-done at a shop
* alarm and central locks need some troubleshooting.
* Get it painted if the cosmetics bug you enough.

Unless you have money to burn and have car fever, I'd fix those issues
and forget forking over a big pile of loot for some new thing that isn't as good as what your driving. The new car will come with maintenance issues and probably
be harder to DIY repair by design. Also with a family, you're better off with
Volvo steel around you than most new cars if you get in a crash.

Don't go into slavery for new cars.
