2001+ V70 any less troublesome than 2000 and earlier? V70-XC70 2001

Yikes! $5,800 in 17 months for repairs/maintenance is ridiculous! I can't believe that you would still be interested in another Volvo. I love my Volvo too but I would probably have given up by now. The first thing you may want to do is to shop around for a more reasonable repair solution. It would appear that the new ones are a less troublesome but that could be that they have not been out for that long (less than three years). I have driven the new ones several times and they do ride plusher and feel a little more solid than the previous generation. Should you upgrade? That depends on a lot of factors, such as what can you get for the old one and how much the new one will cost. My wife drives an '02 Odyssey LX, that for the mid-twenties is unbeatable IMHO- 5 sp automatic, 240 hp, enough room to fit a soccer team. I have a S70 T5A that I do most of the work to myself. I could not afford to maintain two Volvos. Good luck in your decision.
