S80 Purchase???? S80

posted by  someone claiming to be Eddie W. in FL on  Wed Dec 11 02:51 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I've owned a 2000 S80 2.9 and would recommend one to anyone looking at buying one. Avoid the '99's as these models had many problems. The 2000 models have a couple of recalls for minor things like the front subframe bushings. Have the dealer check to see that all recall items were dealt with and if so, go for it! In general it was a reliable and very comfortable car. I only sold mine b/c I fell for the S60 and just had to have one (nothing wrong with the S80) and I wanted a little smaller, sportier car with a turbo like I had in my S70. If I had bought the S80 T6 I probably never sold my S80 as I love turbos. If you are satisfied with the performance of the 2.9 I think you will be happy with your purchase.
Regards,
Eddie
