Congrats! I know how excited I was when I got mine! It is an awesome feeling! :-)


LOL I named mine Damian Gir the emo Volvo. If you read some of my older posts, my car liked to kill itself and it was always something major. LOL The link did not work for me so I did not get to see the color of your car but if it is Gold then yeah go with peaches. LOL jk

Anyway this site sounds so wrong but I get most of my stuff off of http://www.myswedishparts.com. Some other good ones are http://www.usautoparts.net and http://www.autopartswarehouse.com.

Hope this helps!

 

ah awesome on the links Yeah usautoparts looks pretty cool, I remember checking brake prices and stuff on there.

Here's the cars.com link to the car.

 

I use www.car-part.com, it shows inventory and price of parts from junkyards everywhere... You can usually find some parts really cheaply

 

the very 1st link(your 1st post) doesnt seem to be working. But congrats on ur car. Cant u buy an extended warranty?or is it tooo high mileage?do take some pics

 

I named mine "Medusa", but she's a 99 so that makes sense!

 

Congrats! I have a 2001 S80 with only a couple problems. My only regret is that its not the T6. Since yours is an 03 you should be fine.

 

Skimmed the posts and don't know if you bought yet. My 2cents is our used 2000 S80 has been much less than expected. Electrical gremlins, leaky plastic engine parts and generally little things breaking and costing way more than they should to fix, or do for comparable non-Volvo cars. Be especially sure to look at the engine interior, even looking down the oil filler cap or the underside of the cap itself. These cars have a bad history of varnish and oil sludge build-up when following Volvo's recommended oil change intervals. If the previous owner was savvy he/she was changing it about 1/3 more frequently and using a good detergent oil. Ours was not and we just spent $1000+ to clean the oil screen, pan and trap and replace five O-rings and the pan seal. One of the rings was collapsed and looking like Mr. Peanut as the pump couldn't draw up oil much anymore so it started sucking air from higher up. Good luck.
