My 1999 XC70 is around 145k miles.
I have used the same independent Volvo Garage/mechanic for over 20 years.
I'm an engineer and we work closely together to keep the 1999 and 2003 running safely and reliably with repairs and Preventative Maintenance.
I thought I would sell the 1999 when I purchased the 2011 for my wife but it drives the best of all of them on the road so i put Michelin road tires on it and regularly drive it between Milwaukee and Chicago areas.
Yesterday I was on the Edens Xpressway in Chicago at 75 mph in the hammer lane, but of course a Porsche Cayenne cannot let a 1999 Volvo get ahead of it, so I moved over and let it breeze on by. I feel perfectly secure and safe in the 1999 except for the lack of head bags, it has many of the features of the other two XC's I own and is still superb in the rain as when it was new.-Dick
