Hello guys, I would like to hear some subjective opinions on this topic, because I can’t really decide for myself. For over a year I own my V70I from 1999 and think about replacing it with another V70 due to the high consumption and miserable painting of the previous owner. The previous owner has painted the car with a paint roller in matte green. Unfortunately, this takes the vehicle any chance of the future (since I have to drive to customers occasionally). The friendly mechanic has estimated me 500 € for this. Now I have weighed two possibilities. Either I buy a well-kept V70I again and will have it maintained and maintained as well as an LPG system installed to reduce my fuel costs. I will continue to repair defects myself. The V70I is perfect for screwing. So far I have only had positive experiences. Or… … I am looking for a well-kept V70III from 2010 (These l) with high mileage (>300,000km). The fuel consumption here is 5.5 l/100 km. Here I worry that the screwing becomes significantly more difficult. The spare parts all have to be learned and I will not get around the visit of a workshop. Both options cost about 5,000 €. Do you have ideas or comments about my thought course? I have been dealing with this question for about 2 months and am happy about suggestions.
