03 Later S80 Relability

Recommended Posts

Was looking at a used S80 around 61K miles, good price. Just wondering what problems these cars are having. Not used to the new Volvo's. As I have a 940 the FWD things are just weird. . . btw it's just a 2.9L non turbo. It's for the GF so she doesn't need the turbo.

Also thinking about a S60 around the same years and mileage. any diff problem with those?

02 and later S80's should be fine.

Still got a GM trans bolted up to that I-6, I'd recommend the S60 or a 5cyl S80.

what kinda of stuff is coming up due soon for a car of this mileage? timing belt? are they as easy to work on as a redblock or no?

60k is a major service, 600-700 at a dealership. T-belt at 105k and they are nowhere close to being as easy to work on as a redblock.
