Bought my 99 S80T6 in Nov of 2000 with 24K on it from the dealer (Calabasas Motorcars in So Cal). The car has been in the shop 14 times since I've owned it. It even broke the first day I had it. I have spent almost 3K in non-routine repair since the warranty expired. It's had the radiator, radiator fan, alternator, front strut mounts, ABS control unit, trans solenoids, mass air flow sensor, front subframe mounts, front ball joints, and gas tank replaced. One time, the rack and pinion decided to leak and had to have that fixed. The last straw was the gas tank. Car was out of warranty but Volvo picked up the tab of approx $1000. Last week talked to G/M to buy back the car. I'm waiting a response. Any other options I can present to him?
In all fairness Calabasas Motorcar service is excellent and the GM seems to be interested in keeping my business, I'll keep my fingers crossed for a reasonable solution to this nightmare. Sigh.
