I'm the original owner, still own the car. 256,834 miles and still the original suspension, engine, transmission, driveline, and rear end. The most expensive problem cropped up when the heater core corroded thru. $47 part, $969 labor costs. My mechanic said he'd rather remove, rebuild & reinstall the engine than have to tear the guts out of the console to replace it. Still running great, looks fantastic!

Good to hear! Mechanically or electrically, I suppose they are like most cars (last if maintained, or luck of the draw), but I do notice that Volvos of that era don't always hold up with the bits and pieces inside like plastic trims and other parts. I hope yours continues to prove exceptional.
