Bought a 2000 S80 recently (84K) and unexpectedly find that after being driven for about 10 minutes it shudders b/t 2nd and 3rd gear - just like the posts here report, dealer says new tranny - but wait - they also say it needs a new inner tie rod and steering stops, altogether about $4400. (Oh, by the way when I picked it up from the dealer to decide what to hock to afford these repairs, the fan mysteriously began to run continuously - now the thermostat needs to be replaced as well...) My thoughts now are to SELL this car at an auction and FAST! But I love the car, love the power, love the design, love the roominess - what do I do? Your recommendations are appreciated!
