I just bought my first Volvo! V70-XC70

Hello, today I took delivery on my first Volvo. It's a dark blue 2001 V70 XC with 80,000 miles and an interior/exterior that look brand new. So far I love it. It drives great, is more comfort than I have ever had in a car and I'm looking forward to many years of enjoyment from the XC.

I did a far amount of homework and shopped for several weeks. Drove about 5 different '01s and finally made a deal happen on this one. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night thinking I had made a mistake and maybe I shouldn't have bought a Volvo period. So I got up at four AM and read a few post which didn't help at all. There are so many people writing "run Forest run" (literally) about these cars that I have to wonder why they even bother being part of a Volvo loving community.

My trade in was a Canadian built full size Dodge van with 215,000 miles and lots of attitude. I gave up part of my identity to become part of the Volvo set and I'm looking forward to being a Volvo owner.

If there are 01 XC owners out there that really like their cars, I'd love to hear from them. Especially regarding anything that I need to be aware of with a 80k car.

You know, eventually, my wife will claim ownership of this car and maybe then I can buy an old P1800 and see what they are all about. Best wishes.
