Hi folks,
I'm going to look at and most likely buy a MY2007 56 plate manual v70r tomorrow. I've read up a lot on these on various forums and they seem like great cars. It does have a higher mileage - 137,000miles to be precise - but it has a full service history, the last one only being 500 miles ago. Its looks very clean inside and out and the current owner seems like a genuine bloke. I am prepared for maintenance costs on this sort of vehicle - my previous cars have all been German - B6 s4 avant, A4 1.8T quattro, golf gti. I assume the costs will be inline with some of these? It had the cambelt done not so long ago ~115k miles.
It had the prop shaft replaced but the current owner isn't sure of what exactly was done or when. Would they have changed the notorious spline shaft while also replacing the prop shaft? I have read that the later models had an uprated/upgraded 4wd drive haldex system?
Any advice or words of wisdom on what to look out for is much appreciated. I have also searched for advice threads and found some good stuff already.
Thanks
Jonny
