Which Classic V70R and why

**MisterC1501** · Thursday 31st January 2013, 13:02

I'm contemplating going forwards? and getting another Classic V70R, but this time I may consider the AWD version, since I now have an XC70 and love the extra height (it may only be by a few inches, but every inch counts...........apparently!!).

So, which phase of Classic V70R would you chose, and why

Phase 2

Why? Because mines for sale!

It's the only manual fwd model,

Phase 1 every time

Read somewhere that you cannot get genuine rear discs for the Phase 3...........might become an issue?

Lol I wish I could bring myself to sell it but it would be one thing I would definitely regret.

I disagree, best snowmobile Volvo ever made V70R AWD phase 3 1999, just a shame that they said the gearbox was filled for life, if they had given the atf a service life, then may be so many would not have been broken for parts. My one is not going to be broken, what ever it costs

and I bet you don't believe it, but then in hindsight, it will be easier to keep these cars on the road, now we know the truth and can care for these auto's in a way that will give the service life we would normally expect for these vehicles.
