Hi Bay Area OB folks!
So, I recently bought an Outback and am selling my XC70. I thought I'd put it on here for anyone that's looking for a relatively cheap wagon. It's a good, solid car and makes for a nice blank canvas - it's fine for most roads now, but I've seen these lifted and fitted with A/T's for some light trail work (or just to look cool). Nomenclature says these can tow up to 3300 lbs...I'll be honest, I'm not saying it won't, but I'd keep it under 1000 - that way you're in adventure trailer or small teardrop territory and not having to mess with trailer brakes. It has roof rails so you can put a basket or a box up top (I can include some Thule bars and towers for extra cost). Unladen it gets ~22MPG. You can fold down the rear seats and sleep in the back...or load it up with gear - a decent amount with the seats up; shocking amounts of gear with the seats down.
Here's the link to the CL ad: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/d/2004-volvo-xc70/6649681149.html
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thankx,
Chris
