V70 Volvo owners. I have an opportunity to purchase this wagon (Automatic trans., 6 cylinder, AWD) with 64k miles (it was a leased vehicle).
Am curious to hear from volvo owners how they like this model year (or similar). Is this a reliable volvo model? Are there any common problems I should be made aware? Any feedback would be most appreciated.

Friends of mine have a 2001 V70 (same car, just 1 year older, and not AWD)... No major issues with the exception of the DSTC system, which has been fixed.
They have 140K Kms on it.... Just normal maintenance stuff, and a few software updates.
As far as I know, the '02 V70 is good. I have a '99 and love it.
6 cyl ? I thought that they had reta> V70 Volvo owners. I have an opportunity to purchase this wagon (AutomaticIt is a 5 cylinder engine. I am only one voice, but I have had a lot of things go wrong with my 98 V70. It needed a tow out when the starter assembly broke. 2 window motors. and lately, on a 15 minute ride to work, not even on a highway, it started emitting fumes. The radiator blew, and they made me replace a head gasket and other stuff to the tune of $3000!!! the car only has 80K. I have not been happy with it. Too much maintanence. Not a model of reliability. Alan
