Decision time...KLAUS? V70-XC70

You might ask if you can see the title - who owned it?

Maintenance was ferr - but some dopes don't bother anyway - can you see the service records? How do the tires look - are they new?

There is a recall on the AC.

They will have to give it to you anyway to register it.

Are you going to have it serviced at this dealer?

If so, ask the service department if they are independent of sales - many are. If so, have them run a certified car inspection - my dealer charges 1 hour's labor and they can tell you if an ant farted in the cargo compartment.

When I bought our last used car, I had it checked - then the salesman called me and offered to pay for half if he could see the report - the service department would not show him the results because I had paid for it! They had to replace the main seal.

If not, ask if you can take it to your dealer and have them do the certified check.

One hour well spent.

It is easy to give free advice - If it puts a gleam in your eye - buy it!
