I feel your pain. But something does not add up here... You want a reliable, trouble free car. Yet your car has a third of a million miles on it. Volvos are known to be reliable, but in my book, 300K is pushing it with any brand without having to replace a LOT of parts.

I had a '91 740T but bought it with 160K on the clock and sold it with about 240K. We had a bad bout with the computer too and that was my straw that broke the camels back here. Otherwise though, it was a pretty decent car through 80K miles.

If you really do hate working on cars, why in the heck are you driving a DIY friendly, 18 year old car with 330K on it? Get a new Hyundai or Kia or something with an extended warranty and leave all your troubles behind!
