Hi Folks....My name is Dave..Greetings from the Queen city of the Ozarks, Springfield, Missouri..I just bought a 2001 S80 2.9L, I know...I should have done some research before buying...I've already read Horror stories about them...Maybe I'll get lucky, who knows..too late now...I do a lot of maintenance on my own cars when possible...so maybe that will cut the costs a little.
You'all have a GREAT day...see ya 'round campus !!! |

Welcome to the forum.
My mom has a 2000 s80 2.9l and it has a lot of problems. It gets exspensive quick. |
RE: New Member also...
Yes..I've read that the 99 and 2000 are actually worse then the 2001..we'll see...

Welcome to the forum, I hope you find it helpful.
Be sure to follow scheduled maintenance, and post technical questions either in the S80 forum or General Volvo Chat. Best of luck to you, JPN |

Wow. Are you lucky. You own a Volvo and live in the same city as Bass Pro Shops. I'm sooooooo jealous.

RE: New Member also...
Yes..Bass Pro Shop Headquarters is just about 3 miles from me....I can remember when they first started back in about 1960...in a Brown Derby Liquor store.

I don't know how lucky I am on the Volvo..I haven't even taken possession yet..just put a deposit on it..I do wish I would have read about 1999-2003 S80 BEFORE the fact..I've read about 200 reviews and about 45 % say they would never buy another Volvo after woning one of these..then the other 55% say it's the best car they ever owned and never had a problem with them...we'll see what percentage I'm in now...kind of scary....don't know whether to get extended warranty insurance or not..it's kind of expensive...may just take my chances...

RE: New Member also...
Well there are two main problems that I am aware of with the S80, the ETM and the transmission. The ETM is covered by the extended warranty but the transmission isn't. Generally I shy away from the extended warranties. Just have it checked by a trusted mechanic before taking final possession. This will ease your mind some.
