v4lve Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'm looking at moving up to a v70r, just curious if they're considerably more trouble than my previous 850 aside from the AWD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firepuma Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 It's another used car, you're gonna have issues, it becomes a game of how you DEAL with the problems, as long as the big bombs that chilled man mentioned don't detonate and you have/are a mechanic that doesn't gouge you because it's a R you'll be OK. Buy mine.....it's green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javadoc Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'm looking at moving up to a v70r, just curious if they're considerably more trouble than my previous 850 aside from the AWD.I swim upstream on the awd issue. In my opinion, it's worth the extra maintenance and expenses involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeInJapan Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Well, I tend to disagree...don't buy a pre '03 AWD Volvo unless you really need it.If you want the power go with T5 and then do the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
