Hey guys,
Well, it pains me to write this but after 15 years of trusty service, our silver 2001 V70XC and the car that inspired the creation of this site, has finally kicked the can.
As is well known around here, the transmission has always been the Achilles heel of the 2001... Ours had its replaced at around the 200k mark and the second one lasted to 310k. We weren't interested in dropping another 3.5-5K into a car that's barely worth that on the resale market, so decided to park her and ended up getting a 2014 VW Tiguan to tide us over for the next while. Great little ski vehicle, but sure do miss the smoothness, space and comfort of the XC.
Thoughts on how best to set her to pasture... Part it out, sell to auto recycler, scrap or other ideas?
