This car, when running properly is fast, sharp looking and over all a good used car for the 8-10k price range. However it has cost about 2k+ per year in repairs (not including reg oil changes/tune ups).The problems have been broken pwr seats, new turbo charger, timing belts (2x), oil leaks/seals, sensors, etc etc etc. It is as expensive to maintain as a Mercedes and nowhere as dependable. I would never purchase another Volvo w/ out a warranty.

This car is terrible! I purchases it used at 30,000 miles and the car experienced 3 major mechanical failures between 60,000 and 90,000 miles (after the warranty ran out) which cost me over $6,000 in repairs. This is a poorly engineered car and is totally unreliable. If you really want this car or any Volvo get the extended warranty and get rid of it before the warranty runs out.

Bought used w/ 167Kmiles (13 yrs old). Prev. svc records showed good care, but fixes cost us $3,000 in 4 mos. "Check Engine" light came on before we got it home. Next wk the ABS had a fault; day after that, another ABS fault (ABS Control module [the "brain] died; vehicle speed sensor died; electronic climate control & keyless entry unreliable; today the car sputters & won't start; rattles badly & gives a rough ride. After 30+ years of German cars, we decided to try a Volvo for reliability. What a mistake! This one won't make it to 200K. No on will ever buy this if we're honest. Parts & repairs VERY expensive. Not DIY friendly. Tow companies love us. Afraid to take long trip in this car.
BEST CAR EVER!!!!!!!
