My wife and I purchased our first Volvo a few weeks ago and I'm already considering a second. This one is a 2008 V70, white/tan, 3.2L engine, with 85,000 miles from the first (only) owner.

I'm hoping to use this forum as a helpful resource for repairs and replacement parts. I'm very handy and learned everything I know about cars from my first; a '66 Mustang. Since then I have owned two Saturns and two Jeep Cherokees (still have the second, a black '99 with over 260k miles) and my wife's cars have been a mix of garbage cars and trucks, most recently a 2012 Dodge Journey that we sold to Carvana for $1000 more than we owed on the loan. That profit partially paid for the Volvo.

So far, the Volvo has proven to be a solid highway car with more storage space than the Cherokee, and a hundred times more luxurious. My only quibble is the inability to upgrade the radio to something more modern; my Jeep has a new Sony head unit with Apple CarPlay and I would love to add that to every car we ever own, but I fear that's not in the cards for the P3 Volvo.

 

Hello and welcome to the forum! Thanks for joining us and congrats on your Volvo. Lots of good information on here to play with.
