AndreiR Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hello everybody! This is my first post on this forum in hope of getting an expert opinion. I am considering purchasing 1999 Volvo V70 wagon, 183k miles. The cosmetically the car is in very good shape -- no rust, no dents. But high miles is worrying me a bit. I heard that these cars can run far beyond 200k. I'm planning to have it for 2-3 years, with about 10k per year. So my question is: what should I look for at the inspection of this car? And what potential problems should I expect in the future? Thank you for your help! http://images.craigslist.org/5L75N85R43M93Fc3N9c9r2f3b9426d727121c.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
