Question
Ray, I am looking at the same price between a 2007 XC70 with a certified 100,000 mile warranty with 20,000miles and a 2008 V70 used as a loaner with 6,000 miles and 3 and 1/2 yrs left on its warranty.  Which would you recommend.  I drive an old XC now and wonder about road clearance (I only drive on highways) and whether I would need to put larger tires on the V70 if I bought it.  Thank you, Al

Answer
Hi Al

I like your choice, Volvo, but what may suit your lifestyle as to model may not suit mine. I therefore think in all fairness your on your own.

If I was to choose, I would test drive both , and I am sure I would favor one over the other, be it the cost, the handling or best value, things I would be looking for you will find on this web page on my site   http://www.usedcartips.org/TESTDRI.html  

My expertise is you getting fair value for your bucks, when you find that magic car that trickers your emotions send me a link to view and I will check it out to make sure you get valid value.

Have a great day
