starfish Posted March 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I guess some people will find the newer technology used in new cars more intimidating than the comfort they have in the older cars. There is nothing wrong with that for a short time but eventually you will have to learn some new ideas. There are many 99-2000 S80's running around with 200,000 miles on them that have not all been a drain on the owner's pocketbooks. By the way, a whole lot of techs have made a ton of cash repairing 240's, 850's and S70's. They are still my bread and butter. For me personally, to this day, no 99-00 S80 has come ever come close in repair dollars and I've certainly seen my share. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BREAKAWAY Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 not intimidating, just dumb. u may just want to push a button to make somthing happen but do u think about all the control units and relays, wiring and etc, that it will take to make it happen. all of those can cause problems and are very costly.never said all s80 are bad, most that i have seen, which is many, in 99-00 have caused great headaches, some have not had a problem, without saying volvo thinks so to. why did they start putting the 5cyl. in them, maybe because there have been so many problems.
