I put more than 400,000 on my 740 GLE. They are bullet proof. Find a junk yard close and check it for better looking parts from time to time. I purchased an entire interior for $50 once. Good looking dash, full set of leather seats, and more. The car must have been garaged all the time.

Welcome to the forum.

Although many Volvos are bullet proof, they still need care and they HATE non-OEM parts (certain exceptions may apply).

Good luck,

JPN
