Are Volvo's reliable cars? ? Car has a 50/50 warranty on everything but brakes and tires. Has 135k miles, it's a 2003 s80 Turbo. Want to keep it for 4 years, will it last without major problems? Ie: engine or tranny? Will I get by without spending $20...

I've got a 1982 Volvo 240 and it is still going like a dream.

Dont buy a volvo, they went out of business.
I swore I would never buy another Scandinavian car.
Of repairs it shouldn't have needed until 150K miles or so.

I always felt it was experimental.
Volvo claimed it was state of the art.

I don't know of any aftermarket....
Only place to get the part is a volvo parts place.
