Used 2007 Volvo XC70 Consumer Reviews
Excellent Used Car Value!!
Poor resale value, but plan on keeping it once you buy it!! They seem to be hard to part with and I can't figure why! They're great performing vehicles and God-awful reliable! The aspect that I don't like is that I have to use premium grade fuel! At approximately $.40 per gallon more, I get griped at the tank or the thought of going to the station! The other thing that I dislike is that the back seat leg room is very minimal.

Glad I chose the XC70
After thinking about it for a long time, I narrowed down my choice of cars to the XC70, Honda Element and Outback. Drove all 3 back to back. Bought the 2007 XC70 with 30k miles for a great price, especially with a trade-in of my 16 year old Toyota 4-runner! I thought there was not comparison between the Volvo and the Outback....I know the Outback has a good reputation, but the XC70 has blown me away (imagine moving from a 1993 4-runner to a 2007 XC70). It is such a joy to drive, and although I can't compare it to other cars in its class, I think it handles and rides incredibly. It is so solid and quiet and the interior is like sitting in your favorite leather chair.

Well built safe car.
I've owned 3 XC70's from 1998 - 2006. My 06 has 168,000 mi on it now and there is no rust showing anywhere and no oil leaks. If you're willing to pay attention to maintenance, then this model will last a long time. Much better build quality than many newer cars. The ride is great. I do a lot of my own maintenance. If you go to a garage for work, it will be an expensive car to keep.

WOULD OWN A DOZEN MORE OF THESE CARS!!!!
As reliable as the day is long!! I bought this car because I loved the 240 GL that we used to own!! After buying it, I learned to love it, too! I quickly realized that it had poor resale value, but that was after the fact. But, after developing a network of those to depend upon in case of problems, I understood that in the 55,000 miles that I've owned this car, it hasn't let me down ONCE!! I had to have the front axles replaced by a private mechanic, a wear and tear item and a radiator, again a wear and tear item. Other than that, I've just had to follow the owner's manual and it's been a fabulous ownership experience...and I bought this car with 82,000 miles on it!! On the road, there is nothing like it! It handles superbly and securely! It actually inspires confidence! It's our 'road trip' vehicle because of the confidence that it inspires! I am totally happy with my 2006 XC70, but I tend to shy away from the dealership because of their excessive repair costs. Volvo should outlaw their dealership repair network because they are not consumer friendly AT ALL price-wise! That’s probably why these vehicles have such poor resale value. I am disappointed in this vehicle's resale value, but that behooves me with buying my next Volvo! As I learned from an old Army buddy of mine, “take care of your equipment and it'll take care of you!” Can't say enough good about my XC!! I would DEFINITELY buy another Volvo (used car) since I have my repair network in place....outside of the dealership!
