i have a 97 850 glt turbo with like 120K miles on her, the only problems i have had (knock on wood) are with the front brake rotors warping, changed to crossdrilled rotors and problem went away, bought my car used with about 45K miles on it, have done regular oil changes with only Mobil1 oil, replaced timing belt, etc. Did you have the car checked out before you bought it? a T5 may have had a aggressive driver before you bought it, was it cared for well?

you can get the service history from a volvo dealer with the VIN#.

i love my car, it has never let me down, maybe i just got one that was cared for well. all cars will have problems some cars more than others that is the nature of the beast..mechanical things break.

Scheduled maintenace makes all of the difference!!!!!!!
