2000 Volvo S80 review from North America
"Good car. Requires monthly advising"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Volvo has 108,000.
ABS module died (all check engine lamps light). Victor Rocha (find him on Google) fixed that for just $130.
Struts replaced. Bought front pair (brand new Volvo) in Internet just for $100. No more problems.
General comments?
This car requires some advising. I recommend to advise this car every month (better if you have a mechanic, who can do that). If you have a mechanic, who can fix this car, just make sure that he is a professional in European cars, otherwise he can make a serious damage. Don't save $100 on a mechanic, if you're not sure about him, because you can loose $1000 on a professional repair.
