Research-used car S80

posted by  someone claiming to be Rich on  Sun Mar 21 17:08 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Some independent Volvo shops can now service a 2000 S80 T6 because they have the computer interface and software that Volvo provides.

I found that most repairs require that you go to a dealer where the labor rates are very high. Also the downloads are from the dealer so there is a motivation to go to the dealer for the scheduled maintainence. The scheduled maintenance from the dealer is expensive.

Oil,brakes, and engine/transmission/pwr steering flushes I got at an independent shop.

I purchased an aftermarket warranty from WarrantybyNet. They covered a throttle body replacement and a shifter solenoid and ball joint repair.I think that the aftermarket warranty (to 100K mi) will save you money if the transmission goes or if you get two or more $1000 repair bills.
