I have a 96 960 with 240,000 miles. I found a 99 S80 at a dealer with 44k on it that I can purchase for $10,500. I called the warentee clerck at the local dealer and found out that there has not been many issues with this car. (headlight, brake download?, and regular oil changes)

I am a shade tree mech. and have kept my 960 going all these years(still runs great). I think the S80 is OBD2 which means that I can get the codes and fix it. My wife was reading the stories about staying away from the S80 and said she would be pissed off if I bought it and had problems.

I have been able to fix everything with the help of you bricksters! The only thing that I can't do is rebuild a engine. I have access to a code reading machine. I have put struts on my 960, a new tranmission, timeing belt, fuel rail, coil packs, plugs, aircompressors etc. Do you think I should stay away from this car?

Buying this car is in your hands, my wife said that if you all agree that this is a good deal and that the issues shouldn't be anything more than my 960's issues than I should get it!

Thanks Bricksters....Chris
