The '93 850 (193k miles) crapped its tranny and with a little one on the way it's time for a wagon anyway. Checked out a bunch of '01 XC70s on Saturday. The only known problem I've heard of is the ETM (electronic throttle module), which apparenly there is a service bulletin on. Not sure if Volvo covers the replacement cost though. Anything else we should know about these cars?? We are in the under 50k miles market, but would love to hear any experiences with the '01 and newer models. Anything we should be looking for/avoiding while shopping?
