Need advice, looking to buy a 2007 Volvo S80 V8
Hi everyone,
Tomorrow morning I'm going to look at an 2007 S80 V8 with 103k. The pictures show the car is in good condition and the car has been regularly serviced.
I want to know what I should be looking out for? What are the weak points on this car?
Also, what is your experience with gas mileage? Do you get 23 mpg highway/more/less?
Any advice for a potential first time Volvo owner? I live in Brooklyn NY and the car is in CT, before I make the drive out I want to know what I'm getting into.
Thanks in advance!
Andy

I went to look at the car and the transmission has issues. When I let off the gas and then put my foot back on it kicks. I didn't buy the car but if the price is good enough to justify it and I get some positive feedback on here I'll jump on it.
Do you think the tranny needs to be rebuilt or could it be something else like a valve body or a software issue?

I've owned my 2007 for 5 years and have 124,000 on it. Have had no issues with it at all. I get 25-27 hwy and 21 or so city.
If you do your own maintenance you can save big $. Any repairs can be very costly! This is my second S80, first was a 2000. I had almost 180,000 on it and gave it to my son when I bought the 07.
