Good Afternoon,

I just looked through the archives, and could not find an answer, so I thought I would ask everyone.

I am looking at a 2003 V70 XC with 201K miles. This will be a grocery getter / truck for me to do odd jobs where I need a vehicle to haul but would prefer this over a truck due to the fact that I can keep things dry in a rainstorm, or can lock it up when I have to leave something in the car.

As someone with experience, what would you recommend that I check on this car? All I know is that it has new belts and a new water pump.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And if this is something that has been posted previously, could you provide me a link to that discussion?

Thanks.
