#755 of 803 2003 Volvo XC70 by edsims Oct 01, 2005 (3:23 pm)
I'm looking to buy either a 2002 XC 70 or 2003 XC 70. There aren't many 2003's on the used car market. Does anyone know why ? Replies to this message: volvomax (Oct 07, 2005 2:26 pm)

Replying to: edsims (Oct 01, 2005 3:23 pm) Basically, its too soon for them. Most used Volvo's are lease returns. 2001 and 2002 are coming back now. If someone bought an XC70 as opposed to leasing it they bought it to keep it.
#757 of 803 considering a v70 xc by jaybirds Oct 21, 2005 (4:53 pm)
My wife and I are considering a 2004 v70 xc with 12,500 miles on it for $26,500. We really like the car, but know nothing about volvos. I drive an Acura and she drove a Pontiac Vibe until it was totaled last week. Is the volvo a good car? Is the up keep really expensive? I have heard mixed reviews on this site and I am a little concerned. Any help you can give us is appreciated. Our other choices are a Honda CRV and a Pontiac Torrent. The volvo is on my friends Chevy lot. Replies to this message: jrkont (Oct 22, 2005 5:25 am) jaybirds (Oct 25, 2005 3:37 pm) volvomax (Oct 26, 2005 8:46 am)

Replying to: jaybirds (Oct 21, 2005 4:53 pm) I have a 2004 V70 2.5T (my first Volvo) and have been completely satisfied with it. It has performed flawlessly so far and is easily the best car I've ever owned. Maintenance wise, I guess it's a bit early to judge on costs, but I would advise, before purchasing a Volvo, to be sure there are several dealers or independent Volvo service options in your area to choose from. Labor costs are sky high these days, so it helps if you can shop around for the lowest cost fix when that time comes.
#759 of 803 thanks for the info!! by jaybirds Oct 22, 2005 (8:35 am)
Thanks for the response, it makes my decision a little easier. We are probably going to get the car. There is a volvo dealer down the street, but he wants about $4000 more for the same car with 6000 more miles. However, the car at the volvo dealer is certified. I guess that probably makes a big difference?
#760 of 803 Rust question by sbenson Oct 22, 2005 (3:18 pm)
We just bought a 2004 XC70 a month ago and are very pleased with it. Our local Volvo dealer offers free car washes, but their car wash does not have a great underbody flush. Living in Minnesota, I'm a little worried about this causing the car to rust prematurely.   I believe the car has an eight year no rust warranty, but I certainly don't want to expedite the rusting process by not washing it well. Any comments on the need to have a good underbody flush?

Replying to: jaybirds (Oct 21, 2005 4:53 pm) We bought our Volvo Saturday. So far it seems like a great car. Smooth ride, great power, and nice brakes. We are considering the extended warranty. Has anyone else purchased this? Is it worth it? Thanks for the replies thus far. Replies to this message: volvomax (Oct 26, 2005 8:46 am)

Replying to: jaybirds (Oct 25, 2005 3:37 pm) If it is the Volvo VIP warranty it is a good one. If you are going to keep the car well past the factory warranty period you should consider getting the VIP.
#763 of 803 XC70 fuel economy? by fmarti Oct 30, 2005 (1:03 pm)
I'm considering a XC70. My local dealer claims 28 mpg on the road (I live in a rural area, rarely in town) at highway speeds. Is he accurate? Thanks, Barbarossa Replies to this message: atouch (Oct 30, 2005 11:00 pm) volvomax (Oct 31, 2005 8:52 am) jaybirds (Nov 08, 2005 8:53 pm) pilotpat (Nov 09, 2005 8:42 pm) jaybirds (Nov 22, 2005 9:37 pm)

Replying to: fmarti (Oct 30, 2005 1:03 pm) We have an older XC70. It will get 24 mpg on a trip consisting of principally freeway driving. But because of the AWD drive feature, it is tough to get more than about 17 around town.
