Here is my V70 XC which has been my car since Oct 2011. It's been my daily driver and work horse and has many good miles left on it. If you know your Volvos then you know the load space of the V70 is cavernous. It's a nice comfortable car that goes very well and can haul a load of gear. You won't be disappointed. Apart from what's listed below everything is as it should be. It's not perfect as you'd expect from a car with 142000 miles on it but I've made sure the oil was changed regularly and manually flushed the transmission twice. I've only ever used the correct fluids and Mobil 1 oils. It has a refurbed prop shaft from Colorado Drive Shafts and a refurbed ABS module from MidWest ABS. The bad points; There are a few scuffs and dings, the most significant is on the right front behind the wheel. You can see it in the pictures. The right rear light has a chip in the lens. The AC does not work very well. The compressor is fine but the fill port leaks. The armrest between the front seats is worn. The front lower section is missing 2 small grilles and there is a crack. All visible in the photos. The trim piece on the tail gate beneath the glass has broken off at each end. There are no front light wiper blades.
