Default About to buy first Volvo

Hello and thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to give...
My fiancé and I are looking to buy a Volvo wagon and have been looking at the V70 XC. Found a 2001 V70 XC with about 120,000 miles on it. We test drove it the other day and really liked it, definitely going with the Volvo. I have read some consumer reviews on Edmunds.com and I am a little Leary on this year. It sounds to me like transmissions are a common problem with this year as well as ETM?
Is 2001 a year to avoid if so which model year would be a good one? We are looking to spend around $8,000 - $10,000.

avoid 01-02's.

for that kind of money, you should be able to get a 03-'04 which are more reliable.
