Hello all,
I currently have a 1990 740 GLE with 190,000 miles on it. I picked it up 8 years ago with 100 K on it and it has treated me well. I am looking forward to the purchase of another used Volvo wagon in the next year or so. My independant Volvo mechanic leans towards 850's or V 70's. He claims the addition or Turbos and 4x4 or AWD tends to add to potential repair problems. He is also less enthusiastic about them and parts post Ford buy out. I'd like to look toward something newer than a 850 which is why I'm currently looking at V 70's. Based on my listed prorities can anyone please help with recomendations?

1) Budget of up to $12,000

2) Model with low history of repair or chronic problems

3) Non turbo and preferably FWD?

4) Hoping for 2001-2002


I don't need tons of power and bells and whistles. The safety,general reliability,trim and looks are what attract me to Volvos.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!


Vance
