I used to be a member back in the 90's then moved overseas and didn't have a car for a while I am back and just bought a 2002 v70xc it is great and I am considering buying a second car for my younger brother.

The car has 150 k miles, interior is cloth and a bit worn, It is being offered for $2500 by two friends that are moving. It needs a timing belt and front seal which their shop quoted a price of 900 for the timing belt and an extra 100 for the seal. I have test driven it and it pulls strong but the rear tires need to be replaced. Is this a good buy for $2500?


thanks

Hi, I bought a car like this a year ago over here in england for 875GBP. It needed no work doing, was very clean inside and had less than 100k on clock. I would look around for something better if I were you.

If it needs those items, who knows what else it may need. But for sure you will be putting in another $2500 within a year of owning it. I would try to get them down as low as possible ($1,500). Tell them it needs the A/C evaporator, a new starter and alternator, and rear engine seal (check underneath and see how wet it is down there). Then make an offer.
