Hey Guys, thanks for all the positive support!

The dealership did the prepurchase vehicle inspection, and let me say I already feel the difference in cost of ownership and I didn't buy the Volvo,...

Thanks!!

A friend of mine has a 2000 with 300k+ on it. It seems from the info in this thread that the 01 and 02 models don't have that same expected longevity, which is a bummer. Better to find out now...

Thanks for the reply.

You'll have to work with me a little, I am a plant scientist by training so not the most car savvy.

Really! That wasn't what I was hoping to hear :(.

So you think the 1999 with 137k would be a better bet?

Thanks

Great Faq, thanks guys, really helpful, and even more helpful to know where to go to read about a problem if/when it pops up.

Keep it up!

Just found and read the Faq, it answered a few questions, but current input is always appreciated!

I should also mention that I drive loooong distances often, and want a car that won't let me down...
