This afternoon I should be picking up my 2000 S80 that has been at the body shop for over a month since I was "t-boned" on my passenger side in late September. Fortunately, it appears that only the doors were damaged (and have been replaced) and no damage was done to the front or rear axles or the engine compartment. The body shop has had to take the car to my dealer to have air bag lights reset. Other than the obvious cosmetics and making sure the electronics work (windows, locks, etc.), are there any other unseen items that I should worry about.
While I would much rather read about Volvo safety, I was very impressed with the S80's performance in the wreck. I had three passengers in the car and we all were amazed at how cushioned we felt in the passenger compartment. The sheet metal took a beating, but the steel frame did its job. The accident was not of a force that caused the airbags to deploy.
