Feedback about 2001 V70 T5 V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be John on  Mon Jan 17 01:28 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Mike,

If you can, try to get an extended warranty on it. If it is through a Volvo dealer, they should be able to give you one that covers everything to 100,000 miles.

I purchased a 2001 T5 (Manual tranny as well) with 28K on it. It now has 46 K on it. So far I am really happy with it. This is my 3rd volvo.

I average probably 26 or 27MPG more if I baby it. Extremely comfortable and the 5 speed is pretty much bullet proof. Remember in Europe they can't give away automatics so the manuals seems to be built very well.

My only complaint, I have had alot of little anoying rattles come up (All of which have been fixed by me) So, now it is tight quite etc.

P.S. I paid 16,500 on ebay for mine. 28K 5 speed, 2001 T5. (It was a manual tranny in Arizona which is why I think I got such a good deal) Warranteed through Volvo for 100K. which covers everything.

Good luck.
