Newbie needs help with purchase
Hi:
I am a new member looking to buy a used Volvo for my granddaughter. The car we have in mind is a 2002 V70 XC AWD, the 5 cyl engine. The car has about 100,000 miles and seems to be in good shape. Is there anything we should look at in particular?
Body looks good, just a small rust spot where the cladding meets the door sill.
AC blows cold and all electrics seem to work.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Doug

I would be worried about the transmission at that point. Older V/XC 70s had a problem with them. Also make sure the timing belt has been done. You can always take it to a dealer to get a pre purchase inspection done on it. You just have to pay an hour labor and they'll look it over for you. I look over pre purchase inspections all of the time, most of the time people think the car is in good condition but find out that it isn't worth the money.
