end of warranty on a lemon V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Peter on  Sun Dec 9 20:04 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My European delivery V70T5 is almost at the end of warranty period (40k miles).

The car was in and out of the shop for most of the two years: engine sensors ~10 times, suspension noises ~5 times, blown engine gasket, coolant leaks, heater blown, window switches 2, safety belts not retracting, all (6) light bulbs changed twice, engine takes oil ~quart per 1000 miles.

I am thinking of finding an independent Volvo mechanic to check out the car before the warranty ends. This may save me some money if I find something on the verge of breaking before the end of warranty.

Any recommendations or ideas? I live in San Francisco Bay area.
