VOLVOS LAST FOREVER! They Rock! 850

I fully agree with alot of these posts that state that sometimes you just get stuck with a lemon no matter what the brand.

I had a 1986 Audi 4000 that I put 260,000 Miles on with ZERO problems. I mean zero. A clutch cable broke so I gave it away to charity. But the car still ran great and didn't use oil. It had zero electrical problems. The point is that Audis' sucked and I got lucky with zero problems.

My Volvos have been bullet proof..knock on wood. My 1995 wagon (5 speed) I bought used and I have just replaced brake pads and rotors once and I put on new Bilsteins mainly for performance. Now with 120,000 miles on it, it runs like a champ and I wouldn't think twice of driving across country tomorrow.

1999 S70 bought new (5 speed Man.) now has 90,000 miles on it.

Parts replaced: 2 light bulbs, filter and oil changes. It still has the original brakes!!!!!! Oka, I would say that is pretty damn good reliability.
