We have a 2002 XC-70 with 60,000 miles. Have had it for two years. I have had one 2001 S-60, two 1999 S-70s, one 1999 V-70, two 1995 850s and 0ne 1993 940). The 2002 XC-70 is the most trouble free one I have ever owned. It is one impressive vehicle. Only thing I replaced was the turbo control solenoid valve (a $50 item that is a snap to replace) and they seem to fail every 30 to 50,000 miles). I knew of the need when I bought the car. Recently we went on a 1,500 mile trip towing our 2,500 lb pop-up trailer. About 80% of the trip was pulling the trailer (mostly highway) and the rest was around town and off-roading. We got 22 mpg overall and I was very impressed with the off-road capability. Not a jeep, but very good, better than any car-based "SUV" I have driven. On-road handling is very good, though I have added the strut brace kit from IPD, and very much recommend it. $13,000 seems good if it is in good shape. Good luck.
