Good luck
Hi Rowers,
Volvos in my experience are very reliable, but it helps if you choose carefully and do a lot of checking when you buy.. a good idea to ask what to look out for on whatever model you decide to go for (posting a Q in the right section here helps!) , in my experience you'll get some excellent help on here if your lucky, what are you considering? |

Thanks Thassos.
My decision timed well with my sister deciding to sell her car (as she now lives abroad), so I've just picked up a 2008 S80 2.4 diesel. It means I haven't had to worry about the driver history and it's been serviced every year by Volvo. So far it drives very nicely. I hope nobody has any cautionary tales for that year/model...! |

D5 ?
Sounds like you might have a D5 engine there ?,, great engine and pretty bulletproof if its been serviced properly.. what sort of miles has it done ?

Just checked, it is the D5 - glad to hear it's pretty bulletproof! It's done 64k, although most of that in its early years. It's been sat on a driveway for a few years with minimal use but still been serviced.
