A costly nightmare not only on maintenance but the car has fallen apart under 55k mikes. Service at a dealer costs an arm and a leg and quality is poor at best. What happend to Volvo? Did Ford do this to them? NEVER A VOLVO AGAIN!
Why did you sell to Ford
Great wagon. On weekends I use it as my truck...plenty of power for hauling small loads of buiding and landscape material.
99 V 70 GLT
Car needed various electric window repairs, covered under certification, but had to be done 3 times to same window. Had to use warranty 4 or 5 times in from 26,000 to 90,000. The time of warranty ran out before the 100,000 miles limit.
Fingers crossed
My dad has had Volvos since I was a kid, both his 740 and 850 have 200k+ miles and only some odd repairs... not my 1999 V70. In one year we replaced left door latch, light dimmer timer, alternator, oxygen sensor, cleaned some part that got oily gunk in it, and the cam position sensor. It has taken 9 months to finally get the check engine light off. Fortunately for me my father-in-law owns a local mechanic shop and charges me parts only (still have put in $1200). My advice - if considering buying this car, drive it for 30 mins, stop for 30 mins, and drive again for 30 mins to see if anything shows up. This car is not very reliable and I'm really disappointed in Volvo.
