    I'm looking at a standard 2002 V70 with about 35K. I like the style,
    features, safety and size. Will it last?

    Friends of mine have (last time I saw it) 140K Kms on a 2001 new style
    V70... probably over 160-170K Kms on it now (it's been about 6 months)...
    and aside from a lot of computer updates (which your used model should have
    already) they seem to be happy with the car... they want something else now,
    but they can't find anything they'd rather be driving (I said why not a new
    Volvo, and they couldn't answer... I think they like trying other brands or
    something)

    Car looks and feels mint when you drive in it - one of the speakers crackles
    and their is a rattle from a door panel, but that's about it.

    yea...i am between the turbo or the r series.....
    they both are pleanty fast...the r being a bit
    beefed up and "over built"....but, after the $ i
    do in mods....i may be ahead just dropping the
    $ up front by purchasing a r series....i will have to
    see what the mrs. says as well.....its like, $15k
    vs $20K......or so....
