Volvo Repair: Volvo V70R, control arm bushings, volvo v70r


Question
I am thinking of  buying a V70R, What is the best year(2006?), and what are the weaknesses of this model thru the years 04 to 06? I currently drive a 92 740Turbo wagon which I love.

Answer
Willam, stay away from the AWD models. The best year was 1995 but as far as the new versions, I havent really heard or seen many problems with them.  If you can get the 06 for a good price, then I would buy it.  The weaknesses that I know of are the usual brake rotors and control arm bushings.  Roger
