Any high mileage S40 drivers out there?
I currently have 123,000 miles on my 2000 Volvo S40. I got it in 1999, a couple months after the S40 was introduced in the US. My only complaint was that I had to go to the dealer for maintenance service because no one had oil & air filters for the S40 at the quick change places. Now that they do, I am at least saving some money on maintenance. I am now going through the phase of internal wear and tear. My CD player just stopped working. I don't know when this first occured since I normally listen to my Ipod. My cupholder is now broken and needs to be replace. The leather on the passenger-side front seat is scratched due to my dog's claws. He loves going for joyrides in the old Volvo. Also, I lost the Volvo tire cover/inserts. I had replaced those a couple of times already. I will probably purchase a set of 4 when I go to the dealer to get the new cupholder. Other than the motor mount issue that caused vibrations and the dozens of head lamp bulbs I've had to replace, I have no major complaints.
I looked at the new Volvo's but they have not turned my head. I'm waiting for a hybrid sedan. Hopefully they will come out with one when I'm finally ready to put the S40 out of its misery.
