I'm in the market for a new car before heading back to school and am a huge fan of the S40. Ideally I'm looking to pick up a 2007 S40 with 70-90k miles on the clock.

Volvo's reliability, at least older models, is legendary. I'm looking for something that is going to require relatively little maintenance aside from tires, the occasional brake pad, oil change etc etc.

I was wondering if there were any S40 owners, current or previous, who could weigh in with their experience with the car. Has the car had many problems? Have they been relatively minor?

One thing I've read is that problems with the electrical system occur more than they should. What kinds of problems have people experienced? Is it easy to fix?

Thanks everyone!
