I've been pondering a switch from my '94 940 to an '02-'05 V70 or V70XC.
I've read somewhere that Geeley will no longer be providing parts for cars older than 10 years. This is kind of troubling, as the longevity of Volvos is one of their primary value propositions.
Here are my questions:
1. Is anyone else worried by this? Or do you think the aftermarket no-OEM part availability will be sufficient to keep these cars on the road for the foreseeable future?
2. Has the new ownership by Geeley influenced anyone to switch to another make of car?
3. Does anyone have any hard data about the quality of the made-in-China parts? I read comments that this is a negative and am concerned about product quality just like the next person, but perception is one thing, hard data is another. Perhaps its simply too early to have any meaningful data on long term durability of the made-in-China parts.
