Try to get the latest year model V70 you can, they get better every year (especially '05 and up). My wife's '01 9-5 Wagon was rear ended at 50+ by an Explorer, and while she walked away without a scratch, the area where a 3rd row seat "would be" was demolished. Don't put a seat in an area designated as a "crumple zone"!
watch out for radiator leaks, upper motor mounts & control arm bushings, transmissions are hit or miss. there is no reason for a turbo to be bad on a modern Volvo unless oil changes were not done regularly.
