Re: 2001 Volvo S80 [jhets80]
I would love to know what happened next...... We have a 2004 S80 with 47,000 miles and your story sounds strangely familiar. We just had major engine work for $7,000, after the exact senario you just described. Very disappointed with Volvo. I saw on another post that Volvo customer car told someone else they should have bought the extended warranty. Unbelieveable! They told me the same thing.

Re: 2004 volvo s80 [familyshopper]
Is your teeen going to be going off to college? I traded my daughter's 2001 Infiniti that I had bought for her when I bought my new S80. I gave her my 2000 S80 thinking that it was a better car and I knew the maintenance history, etc. When it died on her and I took it to a local gargage that is excellent, they told me I had to take ...

2004 volvo s80
Looking at buying a 2004 s80 for 1st car for teen. Looked at one today for $11950 with moonroof, heated leather, great condition in/out but high mileage at 90000. One owner (now at dealer) . Most consumer reviews are great, but wondered if mileage should scare us off also if price seemed fair. Thanks for any help out there!

Re: 2004 S80 T6 Premier Suspension [encal97]
I was just browsing through and saw your post. I would recommend that you personally call the Volvo customer service hotline. The hotline will put you in contact with a Field Service Engineer. This is an excellent way to get the help you are looking for especially when you feel you are not getting solutions from your dealer. I received excellent help and rectified all issues since going this route. I ... Read More

2004 S80 T6 Premier Suspension
Got my car back today. Volvo replaced the wheel stops AGAIN. Wheel stops weren't the problem the last 7 times it was brought in for service on the thumping noise, I don't know why it will be the problem this time. They have replaced the wheel stops several times in the past. Looking at older posts on this site about Volvo S80's, this problem goes back to at least 1999.

2004 S80 T6 Premier Suspension
I have a 04 S80, I have several complaints: 1. Since the beginning, when the car was new, it did not have a good turning radius and since I replace the original tires, the tires rubbed the wheel well. Volvo's solution: To replace "wheel stops". I have paid numerous times (about once every 6 months) since replacing the original tires (Volvo says it is not a warranty item, extended or not) ... Read More

Do you think that a Volvo S80 or S60 could go for over a million miles?

Re: Do you think that a Volvo S80 or S60 could go for over a million miles?
I would say that a newer Volvo would not be a good choice if you were going to shoot for the million-mile mark. See, Irv Gordon set that record in a P1800. Back then, Volvo's were better made, but most importantly, they were far simpler. My parents have a 2004 S60, and I have doubts about it being able to sustain even 200,000 miles. It only has 25,000 now (it has ... Read More

Volvo S80 Problems
For all of you who own or are thinking about owning a S80 Volvo let me be the first (or maybe not the first) to warn you that the S80 is very expensive to own. I have a 2004 Volvo S80 with 79k miles on it. It is on its third tranmission and has new struts and motor mounts. This year I have spent over $4000 on repairs. It has unique ... Read More

Re: 2004 S 80 Front Brakes and Rotor Issues [madhurao1]
I recently replaced the front brake pads and rotors on my 1999 S80. The Volvo dealer wanted over $600 for the job. I did it myself. I bought the pads & rotors( genuine Volvo parts) from Myswedishcar.com for $200. I received the parts in 24 hours and I took 1.5 hrs per wheel saving me over $400. The job is easy.

Re: Used S80 [konocar400h]
I agree with volvomax about the later 2.5T's being the more reliable buy. They're probably also cheaper to insure. I own a 2000 T6, and trust me, this car is way to fast for a single male under the age of 25. I love the car (the T6 seats are just fabulous-- better than 2.5T), but it has been a frighteningly expensive car to own. At just 63,000, it's had five ... Read More

2004 S 80 Front Brakes and Rotor Issues
We have put 46000 miles since 2004 on our S80. About 6000 miles ago I got my front brakes fixed at a national car service company. I paid extra for the ceramic pads. I did this thinking that it would be helpful to have a national warranty in case we were traveling and needed the brakes fixed. Now the brakes shudder when I am decelerating and a constant click noise can ... Read More

2004 S 80 Suspension Issues
We have put 46000 miles since 2004 on our S80. I have noticed the suspension makes clunking noises when turning left. My thought is that the lower control arm may need to be replaced but realize there could be many other things causing this. I recently had the upper right and left strut bushings replaced. This helped the control the car 'bounce' but the clunking noises still remain. It doesn't help ... Read More

Introducing myself
Hi all, I've read through many of your messages in this discussion from the beginning (ok, so I skimmed here and there) and you all seem a good bunch. Thought I'd join in and say hello. I'm not part of the Volvo family yet, but I'm eyeing a 2004 S80 2.5T. I've posted a specific question in the buying and pricing discussion. I look forward to reading you all.

Always dreamed of owning a Volvo, never have. My 1991 Taurus Sho is dying (he served me well all these years ...) but I'm short on money. Found the following: 2004 S80 25.T AWD 4-Dr Sedan.

Re: I also wonder if we could see a "R" version of a S80 ???? [volvomax]
Well, I have a 2004 S60R and I have the Prem sound system and I like it. The only dynaudio system worth getting is the 900 watt system in the C70. But that is ONLY in the C70. Well I read somewhere on the net the S80 has 650 watts, plenty for me. ;) Volvomax, do you think the C70 convertible could ever get a "R" version with AWD ? I ... Read More

Re: Volvo 2001 S80 [cbeck1]
Had the 4 year warranty just run out? Ford doesn't have anything to do with the manufacturing of Volvos. They just own the company. Volvo had a bad reputation for reliability before the Ford merger. The 2004 S80 is recommended by Consumer Reports for the first time. Has anyone had problems with it?

Re: Safety--All a bunch of baloney [spridel]
I bought a used 2000 S80 T-6 with 16K miles in late 2004, and just got in under the wire for the extended warranty-- just in case. Now I'm about to turn 50K with no issues other than ordinary TSB's. So far, the $2,000 I spent on the extended warranty from Volvo has been wasted cash. Not everyone has had your experience.

Re: Safety--All a bunch of baloney [spridel]
True - a whole bunch of baloney. Nothing that you have described may cause the fire. What is that "catastrophic engine failure" that cause the fire? Broken fuel/oil line? I have my 2004 S80 @111000 miles and going very strong. Interior is clean and solid as new, no rattles. So, I would like to spread a word that Volvo builds very good cars. And I do thank Ford for bringing more ... Read More

Re: a good deal or what??? [lev_berkovich]
Just based on hearsay, and prior knowledge of Volvo pricing. The XC90 V8 base is $45,840, a loaded one is $55,000. The base on the S80 V8 should be a couple grand less, but a well equipped one should hit $50,000 easy. That will still be alot less than any competitors V8 sedan. The S80 T6 topped out @ $48000 in 2004.

Hello Wise Ones. PLEASE advise…
I need a luxury/entry-luxury vehicle for city driving, that is also capable of handling the mountains, all for under $33K. My work requires shuttling executives (luxury/class). My personal life includes being both a single guy in Los Angeles (style) AND spending significant time in the mountains (awd or stability control). Also, the vehicle should make me look older/more executive than my age (early 30’s), without looking pretentious. I will probably finance ... Read More

Re: 2004 S80 T6 Premier w/ RSE [tmart]
The Volvo is one big computer. Think about adding a component to your home pc. You need software to tell the computer what to do with the component. The S80 is programmed to accept only certain approved components. Any other parts have to be programmed in order to work. This includes certain replacement parts like radios.

Re: 2004 S80 T6 Premier w/ RSE [tmart]

Volvo S60 Type R
I took one of these caffinated cars for a test drvie about a year ago (with the stick shift). The 300HP 5cylinder engine and the upgraded interior etc etc -- "might" have made it eligible in this crowd -- at least moreso than the S80 T6, IMHO. Of course the S60 Type R that I test drove did demonstrate that trait that is just not acceptable in this segment -- "it ... Read More

Incentive
Looking again at the incentive listing, the $5,000 incentive is still being offered for the base FWD S80, but not for the AWD version that I am interested in.

If not, it would be really interesting to find out ... Read More

2004 S80 -- NBA Special Edition!!??
Whether it affects durability or not, I agree that the leather used in the S80 and XC90 is among the nicest around. I was also looking at Lexus, and the seats were surprisingly one of the things I liked better in the Volvos. Not that Lexus doesn't have nice seats -- they certainly do. But to me, the Volvo's were actually more comfortable.

It sounds like you are dealing with an adaptive transmission. If you consistently drive like a granny or consistently drive like you stole it you would never know the car has an adaptive logic transmission. The problem you face comes about when you suddenly decide to drive differently than you have for many prior miles. If you drive in an economical fashion and decide you suddenly need some power there are ... Read More

Sonja -- S80 Comments
My Volvo S80 was the most comfortable and the most beautiful car that I have ever owned. Inside and out. We bought our 99 T6 in early 2000 and got a very good deal. The main motives were safety, comfort, and cost -- in that order. I had a long (100 mile) daily commute over 2 fairly dangerous Interstate highways. (An SUV was too expensive to operate as well as too ... Read More

The S80 will get new front bumpers and rear view mirrors in 2004, as well as ... Read More
