You did not mention the budget for the car, so I will tell about my 98 v70. Was bought in 2013 for £820 with 130k on clocks. Previous owner did not look after the car well, so overall maintenance cost me around £50 per month in service and repair, which I find acceptable. Mileage today is just over 170k. What I get in return is a car which never failes, you can load in pretty much everything you can imagine and a little horse on top. I am yet to find a better miles eater, you can whisper at 70mph and the ride is very smooth. High built quality, spacious inside, good materials etc. Bad sides? Sluggish 2 litre petrol engine returns around 28-33mpg. What happens after 150k? Another 150k I guess. So get ready to fall in love with a car.
