Got mine 2 years ago with 46k miles. I'm at 73k now. I have an auto.

I've had the following problems which I've found others having in various Volvo V70 websites.

- Upper motor mount. The rubber piece in the middle cracking. <$100 parts+labor.

- Front spring seat. The parts that isolates the spring against the body frame seems to be failing. It is very noticable sound (clunking frontend) so you should be able to tell before you buy.

- Burn out light bulbs in front and back. A common complaint. Cheap to fix and can do it yourself.

- Cracked front light glass. Seems to have happen to a few others as well. Should be able to tell during visual inspection. Get the ipd lens cover to protect yourself ($60).The glass is part of the whole assembly and cost >$300, don't know about labor. I just patched up the small hole with clear plastic for now to keep the moisture out.

Have a couple of other problems which others don't seem to be having. So I'll skip these.

Good luck.
