2001 V70 70,000 miles for $6,000 or 2001 XC70 136,000 for $4,300

They are both in good shape, the V70. The XC70 is a nicer car but im afraid that it may have some problems. They can both sell for around the same price in a year or so but afraid of what i will have to fix. My stupid rational is that most of the major things that will fail would happen between 70-120K miles so if the XC made it to 136K, it may be good.

Sugestions?

There is no way anyone could make that decision based the information you provided. Most of the people that frequent the site does not prefer the '01 or '02 models. They are more problematic with transmission problems and a few other things. Other than that none of us know the service history or anything else about the cars.

As for values, you can check www.NADAGuides.com.
