Had mine 10 years + still runs like a top

Dependable, useful for anything, good in the snow, front wheel drive, Can haul a lot in it or on it. Just use premium fuel (recommended) I have and it hardly uses any oil after 220000 miles!

Volvo: For life.

A $900 pick-up, this is a great first or second car. This is my first Volvo and I’m very sold. At 19 years old this month, this car feels very modern and solid. Extremely reliable. Great quality build, safe, comfortable solid ride. Eats up and rides over potholes with typically no more than a “thud” here or there. Seats feel like cloudy pillows. Even as old as the engine and car is, keeps up with traffic and still looks great. Very versatile. Could put pretty much anything or anyone in it. Would drive this car to California and back in a heartbeat. No more expensive than you’re usual costs for a car, in my opinion, and a car that’s this solid I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to.

Second owner at 240,000

Looking for dependable transportation this 2001 XC70 was well kept used option. Rural living offers this unit time to shine. Rough roads, ice covered hills, payload from store to home, efficient fuel usage. Set the cruise and ride on longer commutes. My occupation is truck driver and owner. I do expect a return from investment and so far the purchase 2001 XC 70 has been a good one leading me to think about a xc 90.

We got such a great deal!

This generation of Volvos last almost forever - our previous one was a 2003 which finally died at 280,000 miles, probably mainly because of a rear end shunt. My son has been hoping that we might find another, and we lucked out on a single-owner car that had 176,000 after 19 years on the road. In beautiful condition, and we picked it up for $2500. So good!

Very reliable and comfortable commuter

I put almost 160k miles on this Volvo V70 2.4, commuting daily, and taking on long trips. It was a super reliable car that never let me down. Main weaknesses were the engine (only 103kW), suspension (it's a heavy wagon that needs heavy-duty suspension parts), dual-mass flywheel, and a driver seat. Otherwise - do regular maintenance, and it will serve you years on. Highly recommended used car.

It got a little damaged: oil leaking

Is a great Vehicle, but needs some engine work. I have to do an oil change, because it was leaking oil, from the day I purchased.
