Avoid at all costs the 2001 models--- they were rooted with transmission problems. Although Volvo apparently has come up with new software I went through two transmissions on my 2001 v70 within 30,000 miles. Volvo just bought me out on my lease and I am now driving a 2004 2.5T versus my original 2001 whigh was a non turbo. The 2004 transmission seems to shift much more smoothly. I am glad I leased the vehicle versus having bought it(check out my post below) and look into the lease option as well. Also as Samauri Jack pointed out to me if you are going to buy a new or lease a new one use carsdirect.com to do your pricing research. Good luck. Mike
