All of the problems that I have encountered with out two vehicles can be repaired by the shadetree mechanic. This list is an EXCELLENT resource.
Known maintenance and failure points :
PNP sensor : Part ~$100
T-belt : Part ~$35 (every 70K miles on this car)
Radiator : Part ~$200 - 250 (lasts about 7 years or 100K miles on avg.)
Sunroof plastic guide covers : Not worth fixing, sunroof still works.
Puckered door panels : some do it, some don't
If you need to pull codes (engine and trans), you will need to drive to an AutoZone type AP store or buy a code reader as this vehicle is OBDII compliant.
Our 98 S90 has been very reliable.(bad PNP)
Use synthetic oil in the engine and in the transmission. You'll be glad you did.
Cloth seats were an option outside the U.S. I would look into this. Has the car been flooded?
If you use the "L" position on the shifter regularly you can delay the PNP sensor failure.
If you turn off your a/c and let the fan run for the last mile or so before parking, you can avoid problem with the evaporator corroding.
We average 23 mpg in mixed driving, and pure highway 26-29 mpg routinely.
If you need to pull codes, you will need to drive to an AutoZone type AP store of buy a code reader as this vehicle is OBDII compliant.
