4 Wheel Drive Volvo???

I'll ume you are in the u.s.a ? The first volvo all wheel drive was sold in the U.S in 1998 its called the v70 cross country, its a station wagon, it is a very reliable car, That same car continues to the year 2000, also a sedan version was sold in 1999 and 2000 called the s70 all wheel drive. Starting in 2001 the v70 cross country was totally redisigned, not as reliable as the older version until about 2003, thats about when they got all the bugs worked out. From about 2004 on pretty much any volvo sedan or wagon can be purchased in the all wheel drive version as an option, The xc90 is an all wheel drive S.U.V, started in the U.s in I beleive 2003, these are a little on the expensive side. From the info you provided I would highly recomend a 1998 to 2000 v70 cross country. Now the most important thing !!!!!!!!!!!! ALL TIRES MUST BE THE SAME !!!!!!!!!! For these years a mechanical type all wheel drive is used, Thats meeans same brand, same tread, same everything, You are gonna need to replace tires in sets even if say only 2 are worn out. If you do not do this you will cause very expensive damage to the all wheel drive system. That is the only draw back, these cars work great in the snow, will not hydroplane in water, works great in heavy rains, I woulnd't hesistate to take one on some minor off road stuff as well. They have a nice all aluminum light pressure turbo charged engine, 5 speed auto. trans, most all have leather, and pretty much come fully loaded. Check it out those are some really good years to look at. Any other info. just email me.
