last visit: Sat Nov 21 21:14 CST 2009[RELATED]I'll put in my 2 cents worth. The 2005 is pretty good, especially with the T5 engine. The T6 is to be avoided at all cost. The T6 has twin turbos and generates much too much heat, frying the electronics.
If there is maint hist, read it! If not, question why. Some S80 owners are very happy, others think they are just money pits. The electronics are mind boggling!! Open the fuse box on the 940, then find the 3 fuse boxes on the S80...

last visit: Wed Sep 9 19:05 CST 2009[RELATED]Thanks Klaus. The electronics comment worries me a little. My 945 has been mechanically excellent, not one major issue. All the issues I have had have been electrical so multpiplying the electrical complexity by 3 or whatever does not thrill me.
