Thank you very much for all your responses.

We ended up going with a 2001 V70 T5, 80k miles. The maintenance records seem very intact and the car seems pretty solid. It has geartronic so I suggested my uncle do a flush and fill of the tranny as I've read they're pretty delicate and problematic. Timing belt was changed last year at 79k (a bit prematurely?). Price paid was $6,000 including tax, tag, fees, etc.

Let the (old car maintenance) fun begin!!
