I've got a '98 V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Quenton on  Mon Apr 7 14:25 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I haven't had any problems with the car at all. Just turned 50,000 and have only had routine maintenance. I did take it in for electrical issues (turn signal bulbs and headlight bulb burned out) covered under warranty in 2000. I replaced the tires at 30K with Michelins that look very good with 20K.

Make sure you have a mechanic go through it or any used car before committing to it. There have been reports of the angle gear failing by other XC owners so that's a factor, but if the car is maintained properly this is probably not too much of an issue.

BTW; the car runs and rides fantastically. I've had it off road in the Southern California desert in sand and it performed flawlessly. Very good highway ride and my gas mileage is pretty good. I average about 19/20 mpg around town and get 27/28 on the highway.

I will look to buy another Volvo when it's time, but this car still rides and looks great so I think it'll be awhile.
