  Love this car. - 2000 Volvo V70
  By queen bee - January 3 - 6:33 am

  This vehicle has saved me several times on slick roads. Snow driving feature is great, as well as AWD. Gets through mud better than a jeep. Done wonderful duty moving back and forth from house to farm and summer home, also moving my father into a retirement home. Carries an enormous amount and the rear door is cut wide and high relative to the roof. And it looks great! Its comfortable to ride in, roomy.

  Best vehicle purchase ever! - 2000 Volvo V70
  By The Oakleys - December 4 - 10:00 am

  We are very happy with our choice to purchase a Volvo. We LOVE our V70 SE. We were fortunate to get the ultimate treatment when we purchased our Volvo directly from Volvo Intl., and picked it up in Sweden! A one of a kind experience The V70 handles well and has been extremely reliable. Its wonderful to know about all the research that has gone into all the safety features in any Volvo.

  Best Volvo So Far - 2000 Volvo V70
  By volvofanatic - June 29 - 2:00 am

  This is my 5th Volvo Wagon and it is by far the best I have ever owned. This one is a keeper. Great versatility and aggressive looks make this vehicle capable of getting second looks.

  Dont wasteyou $$ - 2000 Volvo V70
  By rottn1escaped - May 24 - 10:00 am

  Bought CPO at 23K. 2 months later, the front axle and transmission needed to be replaced. Ive also needed to replace the Turbo & Catalytic converter. Carfax clean, volvo certified. From reading Msg boards, I have one of the better dealers who replaces everything as warranty work - not always the case. Car now has 43K and its decision time as New car warranty is expiring. I bought this to be a long term tank, but not the case. Stick with the pre-1998 for quality (pre-ford years). My first Volvo was amazing, not this one. Also, check message boards, Im not the only one with this opinion. JD Powers and associates is downgrading Volvo quality.

  Disappointed - 2000 Volvo V70
  By Louise - February 27 - 2:53 pm

  Very disappointed with the reliability of this car. Have owned 4 Hondas - never a problem. Splurged on this used Volvo (same price as a new Accrord). I have had numerous bulbs go out, lic plate still out - too expensive to fix. Throttle body, sensor, trip computer switch, electric window and remote for key. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS on repairs in one year. Brakes pulsate sometimes when braking and I have had to stand on them twice to stop. SCARY. My next trip to service to deal with. But...I feel safe and that is why I put up with this expense. I commute 60 miles a day down "Blood Alley." It has not left me stranded, Ive been able to limp to the shop.

  Buying new car one part at a time - 2000 Volvo V70
  By Christopher Hanks - February 25 - 10:23 am

  Paid 5K$ for a V70 XC AWD Turbo with 95,420 miles plus 2K$ trade in. Biggest problem was failing Electronic Throttle Montrol (ETM) causing car to stumble and hesitate intermittently. Solution was to replace ETM with rebuilt/re-designed (non-mechanical) ETM for $689 plus $196 labor for installation. In first year have also had to replace serpentine belt, AC evaporator core, rack and pinion power steering assembly, catalytic converter, timing belt, engine mounts and rear stabilizer assembly - totaling another $8800 in parts and labor. Runs well now - hoping for another 100K mi

  Great used car. - 2000 Volvo V70
  By cat5fred - February 20 - 10:00 am

  Bought this car used with 113k miles in 2006. Soon after purchasing the check engine light came up, we had it fixed ($700) and ran without problems for about 3 years. In the meantime, we went places, off-road, from TN to FL, etc. Very reliable car, seats are the best in the industry. Cargo space adequate. Even today (10/16/2010) it provides a very smooth ride. The service light is back on, but the codes returned are safe to ignore (fuel condenser system, est. repair cost 2k). Great, dependable car, electrical system, specially the A/C, warning lights could have been designed better.
