Hello all,
I've got a 1990 740 GLE I am ready to part with and am considering a 2002 V70 FWD. These are the specs and what I am wondering about is if there are any know issues with this model I should be asking/looking out for.

2002 V70
Auto 5 speed 2.4L I5
58,000 miles Asking $9800
Two owner car. Formerly in Florida.

It's at a dealer in Minneapolis I used to take my 740 to before I moved to
to Wisconsin. I like the pricing. According to the sales guy this car is not due for a timing belt until 105,000 miles.....is this correct? It has been serviced at this dealership since have been in Minneapolis. Any thoughts on this subject would be appreciated.

Lastly,am I correct in assuming that a similar vintage V70 Cross Country AWD could potentially be more repair prone (due to AWD) and that due to the AWD it will also get worse gas mileage? If so by what percentage? My search would be easier if I included XC's as there are simply many more of those in the used market here.

Thanks again in advance.
