Looking for a decent looking and comfortable AWD winter beater for the other half, now that she's back in the workforce and deemed essential. Her commute is a whopping 0.9 miles, and her way home involves 2 additional miles if she picks up our kid from day care.
She likes the XC90s of the early to mid 2000s, so I have been searching those out. What are the common problems found, and how expensive are the parts to repair?
I also have run across a lot of V70 XC AWD Wagons of the same era for about half the price. Are those comparable? She prefers the SUV, of course, but I think the wagon looks tits in comparison. Same deal; common failures?
I might be checking out a 2001 XC90 today with 220,000 miles on it. What do I need to look for? It says it has some minor issues in the ad, so I already know its going to have problems. There is a V70 I want to check out as well with only 147k on it... but same thing. I know little about Volvos, other than they are generally some of the safest vehicles on the road, and my grandma's late-80's Volvo wagon was a tank.
