I agree with the comments already made. I have a MY2004 V70R and it's a great car but without a warranty would be a bankruptcy tool!

Had all sorts replaced, front shocks, fuel pump, numerous sensors, wheel bearings to name but a few things and most recently the whole engine was replaced also due to the block cracking. Haven't had any transmission issues yet though but there are a number I have heard of especially in the USA that have had angle gear/transfer box problems but they don't seem to be as bad as the previous model AWD systems by any means.

So, I wouldn't consider owning one without the warranty. Great fun when they are working all OK though.

Hope this helps
