Take a look back a few months for all the times folks have asked this same question, the reponse is mostly positive. As for the FAQ's, I honestly dont look at them that often and whoever manages the website might want to take a look if they come off as too dire in nature.

I perused the s80 forum back almost a year a few nights ago. Man, what a pos that car is especially from 99 to 00 or 01. What really sucks is that they asked well over 30 maybe closer to forty for it an its now worth an eighth of that all in less than 4 or 5 years. That would seriously frost my ass on volvo. Now I dont know about the newer versions of the car, but you gotta figure you would probably be paying near 20 or better and the jury is out as to long term reliabilty. For that money, I would buy something line an Acura tl (which is what I did to replace this car for my wife) which wont nickle and dime me to death for maintenance.

I would jump on a v90 over the s70 or the s40. It will get you to 200k without too much fuss. Skip the FWD cars. Good Luck.
