Late 850s VS Early V70s - Buyer Advice Wanted V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Craig on  Fri Oct 26 06:56 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi,

I am new to the Volvo world after two decades of owning BMWs. With our first baby on the way our needs have changed and suddenly a wagon makes perfect sense - (especially over an SUV or minivan!). After an unsuccessful 6 month search for a used 5 series Wagon (they are very hard to find!), I've decided that the newer Volvo wagons are also a great solution. I've been studying Volvos and think the 850 and V70 models are nearly perfect for our needs.

What I would like to know is general information about reliability. I have heard that the early 850 (1993) and the early V70 (1998) are both years to avoid. Is that your experience? Any information appreciated!

Thanks,

Craig
