5-cylinder is actually an ideal configuration to reduce vibration. Great deal. Here in San Jose California, used cars are selling at an all time premium due to shortage of cars.

I beg to differ. My 4 cylinder Camry ( With 448 K miles) Is far more reliable than any 5 cylinder, Gets better gas mileage, And is so smooth that it was always getting compared compared with its more more expensive V6 Lexus ES cousin. Sure it takes Just under 9 seconds to reach 60MPH but I've gotten enough speeding tickets in the 20 years I've had her And she has no problems keeping up with my fellow kamikaze julios bullios down here in Miami.

Yeah I like it when he was rebuilding the cars that's all I got into watching him was with the Corvette swamp that or whatever it was and then there was the mustang that the white one that he painted it red . But Randy did work on the 57 Plymouth to four-door the Christina looking one he did work on that a little bit he did get her up and running had to fix a leaky transmission. I like the videos when him and TK get together and go cruising around and the one time they almost got hit by a deer that was a good one okay what the heck they were driving a cavalier or some crap like that. Or is that Mitsubishi Colt thing station wagon whatever the hell that was. But yes I dig the Volvo very much I like it

Love the Volvo XC70 units. Bought an 840 a while back at 317000 miles and was at 354000 when I put it under a semi during a snow storm. Insurance company called 6 times to validate the mileage as there was no rust or body damage prior to the accident Volvo - best car to have, no matter how many miles on it

She's a Volvo and will still be moving along with twice the miles. Great buy. 👍😎

That is a steal. Old volvos will last forever. That 5 cylinder is an awesome engine. The black bumpers are for a more rugged off road appearance. I am sure the owner replaced it with a Volvo

@18_rabbit

might be a steal, but many of these at this mileage start to need a lot including the trans which shows its herking/jerking only when quite warm. Rack, burnt valves, suspension, and sundry

Randy, the reason why the colour between the bumpers and bodywork is evident is because this was VOLVOs 1st estate into the 4WD territory, it was to show the difference between the normal estate to the off road element. it wasn't because they were being cheap.

Those 04's are great! The 2.5T is a great engine. That Brake pedal sensor is in the Brake booster! It measures how much the pedal is depressed for the ABS system, doesn't have anything to do with the Brake lights, and it will cause the ABS light to come on. I've changed many of those. the Siren code means the battery in the alarm in the right front fender is dead or dying. They're great cars.

My sister has this same car. Hers has 300k on it now. One of the best cars ever made. I’ve had several of the S60 (sedan version) with this same engine…great buy. Awesome car.

New camera is great. Very much like I'm there as well it's so clear. Volvo is a solid buy.

I have a buddy who bought this exact car new in 2003 and he drove it all over for work and just turned over 400k last year during covid. His has a few issues and I think he has semi retired it now but still drives it occasionally, pretty bullet proof cars!

I’d buy that for $1100 in a heartbeat!!! That would be my third XC70 😆. Although definitely not easy or cheap to work on lol. Reason the tailgate won’t open (I believe) is the pin that pivots in the handle has slid off center, and handle doesn’t depress far enough to unlatch

My family had a 2006 version of this car, which has been given to my brother. Great car, particularly if you live somewhere it snows. It is a sold car and that 5 cylinder engine is turbo which makes it fun.

There it is! Been waiting for this! Its nice as Swede to see a swedish car here. ;)

Volvos are great i whould love too see more volvos on the channel

Love those Older Volvo wagons. I see them quite a lot and they run for a really long time. Good deal on that plus in pretty nice shape. Great video as always Randy.👍

Volvo looks like a very decent attractive wagon....... I wouldn't be ashamed to drive it!

That car is a steal. I have an 08 xc 70 same color and interior. That car has more value than you think, 04 xc 70 goes for $3500 to 4500 depending on mileage and condition Keep it and you will be pleased. It will give good service for years.

Randy you are on a winning streak.

I would buy it and drive it! And volvos run forever

We have one in the garage that we use to travel home to Ohio in! We love ours and it is amazing!! I have always said that the AMC Eagle was the prelude to this car. Great buy Randy! Bravo and kudos to you!

I have a 2001 Volvo V70XC and he have 294.000 km on the dashboard. Great,great car. Greetings from the Netherlands

So excited to see this on the channel! We absolutely need more Volvo content!!

I have an 06 V70 D5, 169K miles, I bought it on the back of my friends 06 V70 D5 which has 390K miles,his has never had a clutch (manual) nor an exhaust, he's owned it from new. fantastic cars.

I had the same 04 wagon and I loved it. Bought it to use for a month or two ended up keeping it for 4yrs

I bought a 1999 AWD Volvo XC70 w/ 225,000 miles 5 years ago. Basically, the same situation as you, although I paid 2x as much as you. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. No problems, I haven't even had to change a bulb yet. It has been a great vehicle. They are awesome in the snow.

These are really great cars Randy! They last forever if you take good care of them. The 2.5T is one of the nicest engines Volvo ever made. Reliable, punchy, refined and great gas mileage. The code for the sirene is nothing important. The batteries of them all go out on these cars. On of the codes said that there was an air leakage in the intake of the engine. You should take a look at that because these leakages could cause less power. I would love to see you doing some work on this car. Make it nice again. This car deserves it all day long. If I would live in the US I would be very interested in buying this car. I think it is a steal!

Best car I’ve ever owned!

That was a very good deal for the Volvo. You are correct to say that the car is not really attractive but that is not why folks bought them. They bought them knowing that it is the perfect car for bad weather and snow. If I had to pick your truck or that Volvo for a snowy drive, i would choose the Volvo as it will probably be better in the snow due to the weight distribution.

Those Volvo's are great cars. I know someone who had one with over 500k on the clock.

Yes I would buy it in a heart beat.

Great pickup Randy. Sugar and the fish look adorable. Lots of food and pets to them from our family.

I bought one of these a few years back from a salvage auction for AU$475. Ran perfectly but just needed a couple of cosmetic bits and a set of beefy all terrain tyres. Loved it and now regret getting rid of it. Made a couple grand selling it, though.

Lol, these are great cars, the 2.5 T is practically a bullet proof engine as long as you maintain a regular maintenance schedule. I've seen them with over 300,000 miles or more, the Sweds make a reliable and very safe vehicle. 👍

She’s a gem I’ve always heard good things about Volvo!

a XC70 2.5L i would buy it every day and put my family in. they are very comfy and safe so YOU will use it as a personal car if you give it a chanse. It is cheap to buy things for and super easy to work on.

This car will go forever. Had one with 460,000 till it finally blew a transmission

I've always been a true believer even with myself that when you're kind to others it always comes back to you I think that's the reason why you've been really lucking out on all these cars lately😁

The abs modules on the 90s and the early 2000s get cracked points on the module board and you can re Sauder them if you have the skill but that issue causes the abs light to be on and for the codes to pop up and in severe cases makes ur speedometer work on and off a abs module rebuild online is $80

Randy, seriously I do not see how you can lose on this one, what a brilliant deal and personally I always liked that shape Volvo.

Dear Sir !! You Got A SUPERB DEAL !! ............. Bless

Love it man! The sound of the 5 cyl is definitely interesting, love it haha.

Never seen a Volvo until now actually really like that car looks good and love the way it looks inside the off road look to it as well wish I could buy it lol keep up the great content

I have two P2 chassis Volvos with the 2.5T...excellent drivetrain. Pretty easy to replace the Brake Pedal Position Sensor, OE about $80, Volvo - about $140 (FCP Euro). The siren issue is described in another thread here...battery is dead in the alarm...inner fender accessible...not bad, but not always fun. Good Luck...love the Volvo content.

Never Ever underestimate the Volvo.

My buddy bought one of those and it’s been good for em. I like them a lot

Yeah!!!! I said yesterday "When will there be al Volvo in the channel???" There it is! Love it..

You've got a brilliant purchase there. The cheapest equivalent one in the UK right now is about £1500.

I have an ‘04 XC70 I bought for $300 because a mechanic told them it was blown up. It just needed two coils. Aside from that, and the windows and sunroof breaking, it’s been pretty solid.

I have a UK 2.4 diesel 2004 exactly as yours, really cheap low miles and bomb proof. The brake pedal position sensor message also is lit and also ignored! This should keep going for years... Please dont junk/break up.

Given all the pluses on it, I would definitely buy that right now! It would immediately be my commuter for work.

I have an 02 s80 T, twin turbo straight six and I don't think of it as a beater at all. It only has 168,000 miles on it and it feels like a luxury car. Yes, it has a few groans and creaks but it can go 90 all day on the highway (I don't do that, but it seems it could), it rolls down the road like a lux car. It's not the latest/greatest but I recently test drove a brand new Polestar 2 (an electric, rebadged Volvo) and while that felt new and next-gen, it didn't make my car feel like a dinosaur (well the EV part of it did, but not the general feel of the car). This wagon looks pretty good, could use some work on the leather and vinyl inside and the back door and bumper need fixing but inside, it looks pretty good. It has plenty of life in it.

Great deal Randy ! I love Volvos ! ❤

Sounds like a good deal for a station wagon definitely a good flip car and clean condition

Nice looking car Randy Good luck with it

I bought one of these cars a couple years ago for about the same price. The rear hatch was seized up on mine too but I crawled inside, pried back the trim enough to spring the latch by hand, then all I had to do was take the trim off and lubricate the mechanism.

Love support and respect from Boston 🔥

Another score for you Randy. I have had a couple XC70’s (04 and 07). From my experience they are great vehicles. The good ones seem to be as dependable as an axe and run forever…however when they are problematic particularly electrical or module issues they can be a nightmare. Hopefully you got a good one and can pass it onto someone who’s in need of a dependable inexpensive car. The 3rd row seat is a fairly rare option on those.

I love my '06 V70. It's comfortable, solid, tow's double any other sedan/wagon, got enough power, has an excellent all wheel drive system for the snow and doesn't rust. But Volvos don't suffer neglect or they will cost you big time. They highlight the distinction between reliability and durability. Looks like you got a bit of a cream puff there. I'd hang on to it.

Yes I would buy it even with the miles I was going to buy one a few months ago it had 230 000 miles on it but it sold in minutes they're in high demand

Those back seats are also built in booster seats pull up on the front part

Randy man. Your a good ol boy and there just ain't enough like ya left man. Not even anything particular about this video I just thoroughly enjoy your whole demeanor . I hope your as cool in real life as you are to me here. 🖤

A lot of error codes and messages get thrown up when the battery voltage gets low. Sometimes (UK model anyway) when you start the car, run it a few miles to charge the battery up then turn off and re-start, the error codes and messages vanish. We've got a 2004 V70 auto in the family, bought new by my late father (Was promised to me around 2012 but it never happened) and it's now with one of my daughters. It's not been totally trouble-free but then dad didn't look after it very well, but it is 17 years old today (from date of first registration)

I think all Volvo’s are beautiful especially survivors like this one.

Volvo is a great car and this is a win, Randy 👍

Randy, what do you have against Volvo, this is a bulletproof car, just give it some of your love.

I own one and I am a Volvo enthusiast. Change the fuel filter replace the rubber vacuum and turbo hoses check the motor mounts and do a few transmission fluid drain and fills.

A good all-round car. AWD and fairly high ground clearance. Plenty of room for everything you want to bring with you. Nice interior with full leather. Fairly quick. Great safety. I like the design including the black bumpers. Makes it look sturdy. In Sweden they used to be common as police cars. Some of the newer version XC70 are still around. Today they often have the V90 Cross Country.
