I'm another new guy to this forum though I've been browsing for a while. I finally convinced the wife to dump her Windstar and today purchased an '04 XC70 with 50K miles on it.

I've been a longtime domestic car owner, so making the jump to Volvo took some thought and research. I want to say that I've learned an awful lot about these cars from reading the posts here, and it made the decision to purchase a Volvo much easier. So you've been a great help already.

Thanks for the good work.

Regards,

Steven

Hi Steven,

Welcome to the forum, I hope you can find a decent Volvo. When you get one, make sure to go over all systems + service records and have the scheduled maintenance items taken care of asap, especially the timing belt + pulleys & tensioner.

Good luck,


JPN

 

Welcome.

 

Welcome and congratulations on the switch to Volvo!

Yes, it's a decent Volvo. XC70 with 50K Miles, just came off lease. All the service is up to date and the car drives wonderfully. This car replaces my wife's minivan, so it will be hers.

I drive a '95 Explorer and a '31 Model A Tudor when the weather permits.

My impressions of the car are all positive to date. The performance is more than I expected from a station wagon and it has a much more solid feel than I'm used to. To be honest though, I haven't had the chance to drive it much because the wife has been gone with it most of the weekend.
