I am the proud owner of a station wagon. I didn't think I would be buying one for a while, but I really like my V70 XC and the way it drives. Before I bought the Volvo I had an independent mechanic look it over. It had a long laundry list of items (timing belt, serpentine belt, sway bar, tranmision leak, oil leak internally and externally, breaks and tires) which the dealer agreed to fix before I bought it.

The dealer did most of the repairs and ended up putting in a new turbo and replacing the turbo drain seal as well. The V70 continues to leak a minor amount of oil around the turbo and has developed a "creaking" noise as well, which is probably separately related. The creacking noise happens when I am turning and first starting to drive the car. Any ideas on any one of these issues. The wagon has 152,000 miles on it, but it runs very well.
