I try to keep in mind that this is a repair board, trying to help fellow brick owners with their problems.

Last year I looked at a 5 series wagon, so I lurked a BMW board for a while. The car that I looked at had several of the issues that I saw mentioned on that board.

One thing that I really liked about the BMW was the feel of the steering.

It needed about $4000 to $5000 worth of repair to make it really up to par. It could be driven quite nicely as it was. I decided to stay with the devil that I know!

Volvos are expensive cars, therefore parts and labor are not cheap if you have to have everything done for you.

I really have not had undue problems with all but one of our bricks so far.
