2000 Volvo S80 4door review from North America
"Well built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electronic Throttle Module died at 120,000mi, cost of $1250.including towing fee.
Door lock repaired approx 90,000mi.
The cover on console between front seats peeled off.
General comments?
Comfortable and good looking car. Service and repairs are more expensive than for cars previously owned, if taken to dealership. Can save some on service by using a good independent repair shop. No major problems other than electronic throttle module failure which was expected because I had researched and learned that this is a common problem with this model.
