Volvo High Milage Club...
Here is a link to Volvo's High Milage Club. They also have a link to the Video that talks about Ivy's 2.7 million miles on his P1800.

Volvo use to give metal badges for cars that had over 100,000 miles on them. They gave a badge for every 100k. Then they scaled back to a badge at 100k, 250k, 500k, 750k, etc.. Now I don't think they give a badge at all. Maybe a certificate. I whish they would at least let you purchase the badge. I had several of them on my 740 and one on my 262c.

I hear you there. I think resetting the trip causes fast failure. I spoke with a guy Sunday that had 324,000 on his yellow T-5R and his odometer was still clicking. He was not aware that Volvo's have a odometer problem.

I too think resetting trip meters can mess things up...particularly if the car is rolling. I replaced an odometer gear for the first time in my 240 years ago...the gear was softer than a pencil eraser. I literally wiped teeth off of the gear with a flick of my finger nail. Sad...
Here's Irv's car back in 2008...guess that's the last time I've seen it...

I received my High Mileage Club stuff back from Volvo yesterday. This is what I got:
1. Letter
2. Certificate
3. Window sticker "100,000"
4. A 20% off (max $100) mail in rebate.
Well worth my time to complete the online form. I'm going to get the "R" spoiler and use the rebate to knock $65 off of the price. Sweet!!! I think it was cheaper to do the metal badges that give someone 20% off of parts and/or service.

once upon a time I had a '82 240 wagon and the odometer stopped at 645,398 miles. the clutch let go so I had it sitting in my yard waiting for me to fix it and my eldest son, on his 2 week anniversary of getting his license, smacked up the front end of my '87 240,( had 86k on it). I ended up taking the nose off of the '82 and putting it on the '87. sad day...
