  poor quality service - 2000 Volvo S80
  By james grifin - November 14 - 10:00 am

  Too many mechanical problems. More than all 4 of my Vorger Vans added to gether with many more miles. Service is very frendly and make efforts to be helpful. But the quality of their mechanics is questionable. It would be very helpful if Volvo would publish a manual for this car,(not an on line manual), so that the owner can show the mechanic how to find or fix the problem.

  Good Car to Drive - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Jose - October 27 - 4:16 am

  I purchased my first Volvo 280 as a certified pre-owned in September 2003. I had a few small gliches at the beggining of my ownership which have been fixed by the dealer at no cost, namely problems had to do with rough idle, and system required maintenance. For the last year the car has performed excellently with just normal maintenance performed

  Would I do it again? - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Psycho - October 21 - 10:00 am

  Yes, if it were a newer model S80. The 1999 & to a lesser extent 2000 model were plagued with electrical problems. Since I bought mine, the steering rack, gas tank door stop, rt headlamp assy, computer software, various light bulbs, electronic throatle body assy, body rattles, & other stuff too numerous to remember have been diagnosed as defective. Volvo of Nashville declined to honor the factory warranty, & gave poor service. Volvo of Cinncinatti was great! You cant gas up w/o removing the key or the computer goes wacky. Too many quirks. Quality greatly improved after Ford took over and poured $$ into Volvo. S60 is bullet proof per several servie

  Run! - 2000 Volvo S80
  By shade56 - September 9 - 10:53 am

  Purchased this car for our daughter. Volvo=safe and reliable ,right? Wrong! This car had its 60k check up before we purchased. One owner, immaculate care, extended warranty so every squeak was addressed and car had 59k on it. Took it in for timing chain replacement (knew it would be considerable), but two days before, ABS, check engine, dipped beam messages popped up, and the passenger window refused to roll up the last inch. Well, the dealer that gave the car a clean bill of health 4 mo. ago, now says it is going to take $7,000 to fix. Are you kidding me? Says our best bet is to trade it in...they will give us $3,500 for it. Oh, Ford owns Volvo now.

  My Volvos affair with my mechanic - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Vicki Laidlaw - July 18 - 4:06 am

  After putting more than 275000 miles on my 92 Pontiac Bonneville (with no need for engine work - just liked to have brakes and tires), I decided it was time to retire the old workhorse and buy a little luxury. I bought my Volvo S80 at a used car dealership, where I noticed that the warning light for the airbag was on. The dealer said the Volvo mechanics could reset that sensor - apparently not! Turns out that Volvo put the airbag SENSOR under the drivers seat carpet. The used car dealer STEAMED that carpet, thus ruining a $1000 sensor. My cars now in the shop for the second time in three months. Volvo engineers ought to be taken out and shot for what theyve done to this car!

  Fabulous Car, When It Is Working - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Sportscarnut - May 14 - 2:00 am

  Exceptional performance/style for the $. Nothing else competes with it in this price range. Unfortunately, it has HORRIBLE reliability. In 18 months the following was replaced: motor mount, ABS control unit, turn signal switch, brake rotors, oxygen sensor, mass flow sensor, door trim, upper strut mount (2 times), oil return line, strut assembly, ignition switch. Parts failed about every 2 months, and the parts always had to be special ordered. I was fortunate that it was under warranty. Be very careful about buying one used.

  Have Enjoyed this Car - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Anonymous - May 12 - 2:00 am

  I recently purchased my 2000 Volvo S80 less than two years ago with 97500 miles on it. I have been taking care of it, and it has been taking car of me. Disregarding preventative maintenance, the only parts I have had to change were the oxygen sensors (which were supposed to be changed at 100000 miles) and the battery. Many people complain that the repairs are expensive, which may be true for someone who for someone who feels bound to the dealer for all repairs. However if you are willing shop around for labor and parts, you can make the repair and maintenance experience comparable to other cars.

  Affordable Luxury Sedan - 2000 Volvo S80
  By sedan man - February 12 - 1:43 pm

  This is solid, well built safe sedan. The acceleration is strong and a great ride on the highway if youre going north and south. The handling is okay. Semi-frustrating trunk lock/unlock feature. The interior features are great, comfortable seats, lots of leg room for taller people. Havent had any problems with the car after 12K miles. Aside from the lock/unlock features all in all, for the money, a very good buy.

  By S80volvo - September 18 - 2:00 am

  When shopping for a new vehicle, the choose of models included BMW 5, 300E Mercedes, and the STS Cadillac. At 62" the Volvo was the most comfortable and provided front wheel drive. Along with a cheaper price tag.

  My Volvo - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Sandra - July 19 - 1:00 pm

  I bought the car new. It is a wonderful car to drive although I have had a number of electrical and mechanical problems. I have severe arthritis and the seats are the most comfortable of any car Ive ever owned and adjustable to many positions. I love the power and the instant response and feel it is the safest car on the road today. The only reason Im considering another make is reliability. Ive never owned a car with so many problems.
