We have a 1995 960 and have had it since new. As for repairs, the cost for
repairs has been over $6500.00 Canadian. This includes the amount spent
for the Extended Warranty covering it for 160,000 Km. Presently, the car
has around 217,000 Km. The car also had free oil & filter changes for the
life of the car or until I got pissed with the dealer. Now, they no longer
handle Volvos.
As for repairs, I've had the rear engine seal replaced twice, the A\C also
had problems. Both were covered under the Extended Warranty.
I've even had the battery explode. A real loud bang one warm afternoon when
I tried to start it. The cars been towed twice, once for the battery and
another time it wouldn't start.
I've also replaced the fluid in the transmission. I've also had problems
with front power seat. The drivers side sun visor broke. I've been driving
over 50 years and never had a visor go.
Volvo replaced the front brake pads and rotors at least three times. They
also did the rear as well to try and stop the brake pedal pulsing.
I've also had numerous power antennas installed.
I was very put out with this Volvo as I've had three other that gave me
minimal problems, a 1960/544 and 1973/145 & 142.
Well that's it for me. I wouldn't class the car as a lemon, just very
expensive to repair.
