It's time to get a different car.

As you have found out, volvo's are maintenance intensive and if you don't do the minor repairs, it will cost you dearly.

If you want to stay with volvos, then avoid the AWD and find yourself a '99 V70 with less than 100k miles. The '99s have the ETM(electronic throttle) failed frequently, but the warranty was just increased to 100k miles.

Because of this fact, the '99 are going for cheap. Something to ponder.
