I am looking at a used 2006 V70 2.5T. I am going to have pre-purchase inspection. It has about 80,000 miles on it. My question is that what are the normal repairs and replacements that I should expect, such as suspension system and stuff like that. And may be the cost associated. I don't want to face lots of repair cost on top of the monthly payments. Thank you for any comment.

    25,000 miles before Tbelt and tensioner. Struts and shocks at about 130K. Brake pads front and rear now, possible front rotors if there is a good lip.

    Engine and tranny use synthetic oil ONLY, don't let the dealer screw it up with garbage oil. Oil changes at 7500 miles, unless you do a weekend trip of 2,000 miles like I tend to do (then I ignore the 2K trip from the change interval).

    Just get a good price! Complain about the tires, door dings, gravel pits on the front of the hood, etc. If it is not a T5, then the turbo doesn't do much.
