2001 Volvo S80 T6 review from North America

The alternator quit on me at 69,184 miles needed to be replaced ($460), it also caused for the heating system to malfunction and had to had it fixed at a Volvo Dealership ($137). The Electronic Throttle Module (ETM) malfunctioned, though covered by a recall, it cost me $190 to have my car towed to the Volvo Dealership. The sway-bar-links needed to be changed ($160). Turbo-drain seals needed to be replaced ($370), the Catalytic Converter and oxygen sensors replaced, however covered by Warranty since my car is under 80k miles. The front struts and strut mounts are yet to be replaced (recommended by Independent Mechanic and the Volvo Dealership) which could cost between $700 - $900. Regular 60k maintenance, new brakes and rotors, and new tires all-in-all cost around $2,000. This is now a cheap maintenance vehicle, plus, something seems to have gone wrong one after another. I have yet to find out what else is going to fail in my 2001 Volvo S80 T6.

Bad vehicle in general. Never consider buying this vehicle regardless of what kind of maintenance and repairs has been done on this vehicle. Something is always going to go bad and you'd never know what it could be. Not what I expected from a Volvo. This is a terrible car.
