Staying within limited budget. I also have a v70 na 2004 with 235,000 miles I am keeping.

Considering an 06 2.5t xc70. Also seeing 2004's offered.

Seems to me that after 04 they all had the haldex AWD system. That should be reliable. And 2.5t a good motor. Also reliable and durable. The 06 was the last year before changeover.

I know the 04 v70. I'm thinking I can keep this simple by choosing an updated AWD version of this car. Wife drove an s80, 04, says its an old mans car. She's right, and I'm a semi-old man. Maybe I'll give her my v70 and buy an s80.

She likes the xc70. It would be nice for her to have AWD for the winter.

Please.....everyone respond at once. I need to buy a car tomorrow!

Thanks.....really.
