The father of my girlfriend did have a 1999 Volvo S80 2.9 Exclusive (full options) automatic.
He bought the car with only 40.000 miles, and he drove the car till it had done 110.000 Miles.
It was horrible, almost everything you can imagine did broke
A lot of eletrical problems, airbag, abs, in dash navi, radio, telephone, electrical chairs, emission problems, brakes, they eat tires, oil cooler, radiator, airco etc. In the 3 years he had the car, it has cost him about 6500 pounds for repairing (volvo workshop)
He was always a big fan of Volvo cars, but this was the last one he had ever bought. Now he drives Mercedes
