  Terrible reliability - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Shelline Holmes - March 16 - 10:00 am

  I thought the Volvo was a reliable vehicle. But I should have done more research. The Volvo which I brought had 55000 miles. Today it has 69000. The transmission has to be replaced. The brakes have to be replaced again. The check engine light is on and off. The sensor system is bad. The control arms have to be replaced. The repair bill is just unbelievable!!!! I have to let the car go.

  Expensive Comfort - 2000 Volvo S80
  By JohnnyBo - February 17 - 5:23 am

  This is a great ride. Smooth and comfortable. But the mechanical reliability is horrible. I have had all the same problems reported by others here; ABS controller; throttle, sunroof, universal joints. I rarely get in and out of service for under $300. Usually much much more. Ford reliability is showing through.

  200,000 mile car feels like new - 2000 Volvo S80
  By josh smith - February 13 - 8:40 am

  I recently bought my 2000 Volvo s80 t6 it had crazy mileage so i paid 2k for it body was in great shape motor is so quiet you cannot even tell its running. handles great! with more power than my A4 or A6. interior design looks great has a small issue with the seat belt buckle catching and tearing the leather on the door skin easy fix with one of those v seat belt support things. it does lack in the turning radius but it still handles better than any American car. a slight mod to the air box and the car is fast. over all it has been the best 200k car i have seen ill re review this car at 400k Im sure it will make it. as for costs with eBay and cl parts are no longer so expensive.

  well it is a good car, but the fuel economy could improve, i average 19, and 25 on a long trip. the build quality is okay, could improve.

  Volvo you broke my heart (and my bank) - 2000 Volvo S80
  By thomas - January 1 - 5:20 pm

  This was the third Volvo I have owned, have had nothing but great experiences in the past. Love the look and drive of this car, have had all maintenance performed on time at the dealership. This dealerships service dept. is ranked #1 in the country, now i know why, you see the folks there so much they get to be family. Have spent over $7,000 on repairs since I have owned the car, expensive replacements like the srs control unit, the abs control unit, the fire box (?), not to mention the usual wear and tear items. A car of this supposed quality that has been maintained exactly as recommended with the number of miles i have put on it should not have these types of problems - never again Volvo.

  NO MORE VOLVO - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Dash - December 15 - 2:46 am

  I wish i had done my research before I bought this 2000 S80T. Its been nothing but trouble. I loved the look of the car in simply NOT RELIABLE. Volvo are very pricey cars for them to be so unreliable. I had to replace so many things and ive always maintained it so well and always dealer maintained. but im done with this company

  Love the S80-T6 - 2000 Volvo S80
  By turboman - September 21 - 10:00 am

  Best car Ive owned, and the first import. Only done the scheduled maintenance. During one service visit, replaced rattling non critical (therefore no recall) front suspension components that broke, covered by warranty.

  Failed Transmission - 2000 Volvo S80
  By joesmith7 - September 14 - 3:53 am

  Bought the car new in 2000, owned it for 12 years and put 126k miles on it. Car was running fine with no problems until about 112k when a pipe fitting on the radiator cracked and ruined the radiator. At 126k the transmission ripped itself apart. Got 3 separate transmissions put in and all 3 of them broke immediately. Either scraping the car or buying a new trans to put in, either way Ive put a lot of money into it. And the gas mileage sucked, 14-15 city is unacceptable.

  Win the Lottery! - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Stuck-in-PA - August 17 - 10:00 am

  After "upgrading" to Volvo from American, Im going back. Many good features, but not worth the maintenance and repair costs--and they wont stand by their product. They admit that there are bugs in the 2000 model, but Im paying the enormous costs. Problems: Electronic Throttle Module replacement, A/C, ABS module, bulbs burning out, suspension, rattles, fan assembly, etc... Not worth the premium paid and buying into the Volvo quality/saftey image!

  If Youre a DRIVER, youll love this car - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Salesman - June 21 - 10:00 am

  I am on the road 150 nights/year. This is by far the best road car Ive ever owned. Bought it with 10,000 mi on it and have never had a regret. Only in the shop for scheduled maintenance. I thought the 30K check was a bit pricey... Not many improvements to make; and its sure fun to show the BMWs (3s and 5s) your taillights on the expressways! Only the M series can beat you.
