  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

  The new Volvo warrantee is what could lean you to a new Volvo if the S80 has the coverage. I just traded in my 2002 S80 for a 2009 C30 T5 and the warrantee covers everything except for gas and tires for 5 years 60,000 miles. The one I bought was a loaner and had 4,000 miles but they took off $6000 off the price. This C30 is a fast, great ... Read More

  2009 Volvo S80/V8 AWD only comes with 18" wheels. I'm trying to locate a site that sells Volvo 17x8" Meissa wheels. The 17x7" wheels are not recommended for AWD.

• 2009 S80 (without BLIS) Outside Mirrors (motor) Activation

  Written by: cet1st on Jul 10, 2009 6:57:30 PM

  FYI According to the Volvo rep (who I spoke with today), 2009 S80 outside mirrors have a deactivated motor (we did not address earlier years). In Europe they have the motors activated to retrack the mirrors. At the dealer (parts) you must request the $30 software and pay service (labor cost) for activation.

  Hi azbmwx5. Volvo is providing $6,500 dealer cash on the 2009 S80 right now, but this cash is not compatible with its special lease program. Volvo Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2009 S80 with 12,000 miles per year are .00172 and 43%, respectively. The 10k residual value would be 1% higher. I know that Volvo Finance charges a ... Read More

  JPeriwinkle, I think the Edmunds review on the S80 is right on the money. As far as quality and reliability, you may also want to check out similar blogs that deal with that. I have never owned an S80 before, so I cannot speak from experience except to say that my wife has been driving an XC90 for almost 4 years now and we have both been very pleased with that ...

However, I went as far as talking to a representative that handles the Costco program at one of the Volvo dealers in the area, and he stated that through Costco I could get invoice price on the S80, plus ...

My wife's 1999 T6 has 69k miles, and except for some problems resulting from a bonehead SUV driver plowing into it recently, those miles have been completely trouble-free. (That accident also destroyed an STC sensor, transmission control unit, and oddly the door lock on the opposite side of the impact.) It has been a ... Read More
