Hi folks,

Just joined. We've owned Vovlo wagons for the past 30 years - all standards. Our present V70 has 292K so we think it's time to upgrade. We only want a standard and were kind of surprised the V70R can be found with both standard transmission AND with all wheel drive. This is exactly what we want. I know nothing about the R model other than that it's a turbo. Are these cars reliable. Anything to watch out for on this model. We're looking at a 2004 car.
Thanks

 

Get it now! What are you waiting for?

The V70R with that setup is a hard find. Just make sure it was not whooped on and inspect for oil leaks. Beautiful cars!

 

V70R's in general are hard to find. Not only were few made, but people are holding onto them. I've known people who have friends lined up waiting to buy theirs when it's time to sell. Although if you can't find an R, a T5 is pretty damn close.

 

Thanks folks,

Picking it up tomorrow. Less than 50k miles. Doesn't appear to have been whooped on.
