How many miles can I put on a V70? V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be a volvo owner on  Thu Oct 23 01:47 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi guys (and gals, if any):

I have a late 1999 V70 2.5 TDI. Have 60,000 KM on it now. Runs like new.
Am considering letting it run to 250,000 KM then dump it.That is to say, keep till I can no longer drive - I'm 50 and am going to buy a Porsche 911 Targa.
So I'll use the V70 to shop, take the dogs to the Vet (both German shepheards at the same time in one single visit).

the other option is to exchange it for a BMW 530 Diesel but the rear space is smaller. I hate the new V70 - the current model. The only alternative in terms of space is the MErcedes and that is also pretty ugly.

The point is - if I exchange the V70 I get some money out of it - 17 to 20,000 Euros towards the purchase of the BMW (60,000 Euros) or I keep it and let it go.

Does it get very expensive to maintain from 60,000 to 250,000 KM?

Thanks,

J. P.
