Now that I bought a brand new VUS last march and handing the keys to a new owner today, it's time for me to say a big thank you for all the help I got here during my ownership of the 2000 V70 XC SE. It was not a cheap ownership since a lot of parts failed, including the radiator and all brakes now. It helped me learn a few lessons :

-Never ever buy a used car without a good mechanical inspection and a good estimate of the total cost to bring it to perfect condition.
-I learned how to follow a good maintenance schedule and what is very important to keep a vehicle in great running condition. It also help reduce the repairs frequency and costs a lot.

I still want to buy a Volvo somewhere in the future so my thread is to say goodbye to everyone for now and hope to see again in the future.
