So i bought my first volvo two years. A 1999 Volvo S80 with the T6 and almost every option. I was purchasing this vehicle after my long lived Jeep Cherokee was finally dead. So i was going from a large lifted offroad suv to a large luxury performance sedan. Quite the difference i must say. But the S80 was one of the greatest cars i had ever driven. I loved it. And over the last two years it has caused me many a nightmare and angry moments. but still i love it. Now i have moved from Michigan to California and sadly my S80 was unable to make the journey across the country.

But now that i am here i am in the process of purchasing a new vehicle. and i cant help but want to buy another volvo. im still looking for that style and comfort with performance thrown into the mix. i love that volvo combo. but this time around im hoping for a model with a lil less trouble. My problem is ive only got a budget of about $5-$6k.

So im hoping to tap the mass intelligence of this forum and possibly get some advice/suggestions for a future Volvo purchase.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew
