A couple weeks ago we picked up our first Volvo. It's a 2004 V70 2.5T Silver/Graphite Leather interior, sunroof, heated seats, rear booster seats, roof rails etc. It's a "Certified Volvo". This car runs real smoooooth.Traveling at 80 mph, I get a consistent 28 mpg. As my sig. shows I favor European cars. This V70 replaceda 1983 MB300TD that was going strong at 235K miles, but both rear trailing arms were begining to rust out. $$$$$$ toreplace. Have always liked Volvo's just never bought one until now.
Being a new Volvo owner I will be looking for any tips on Volvos in general and obviously for my particular Volvo.

 

Welcome

 

My father in law had a 1983 Volvo then went through a spell where he bought a couple Mercedes and a couple Saabs. He kept a Saab, but got rid of bother Mercedes and ended up with an 01 V70. Pretty much came to the conclusion that Volvo's give you more for your money. One of his Mercedes was a 450 SL, not sure what year and the other was a real big one, and I don't remember the model. I recently had a 1980 Porsche 911SC, but had to get rid of it due to lack of work. Cost way too much to have anything done to that car.
