"Dependable and endearing - I love it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

New brake rotors.

New strut rod bushings.

New timing belt (twice).

All new hoses.

New over-drive relay.

New flange yoke for transmission.

Needs:

New water pump.

Resealed or rebuilt distributor.

New rack for rack and pinion steering.

Also, various interior plastic pieces have fallen off (ie - ceiling handles), the headliner is falling down, the power antenna doesn't work, the tape player is jammed, and the sun roof leaks.

General comments?

I know I've listed a whole bunch of bad things about my car, but the truth is, it's a great car. It's only stranded me three times, and I put about 80-90 miles on it a day. It has a lot of miles and for the most part it still runs great. I'm hoping to get 300,000 miles out it.

There is no point in hopeing for your car to do that because it will do it and do it twice over,Volvo's eat up miles like petrol.
