I have a 1997 Black 850 R, black interior, I have been the original owner. Since I bought it it has been garage kept and babied ever since I drove it out of the dealer lot for $39,000. It only has 67k miles. Oil changes religiously changed every 3 to 5k miles with Mobil 1.


Problems so far:

ATE active handling module malfunctioned 36k $ 400.00 to replace
AC compressor blown 55k $375.00 no longer made.
CV joint bad at 58k $225.00
Odometer broken 59k $ 20.00 but 4 hours of work to replace a tiny gear.
Trunk struts weak and replaced 60k
Radio buttons required replacement of the springs in the microswitches 50k

Other than that, I think my Z06 Corvette will last a lot longer, but my volvo is a lot more practical.
