Replying to: isellhondas (Dec 01, 2008 8:35 am) Another thing, though, and this is just my uneducated theory here, I would venture a guess that you (ie, Honda dealer) see a higher rate of problematic cars (as trade-ins) from all manufacturers, not just Volvos. I say this because it seems the popular cry of anyone having a problem with another brand is, "I'll just buy a Honda next time!" Of course, because they are feeding on the popular opinion that Honda's are somehow indestructible or will put up with their negligence.

Replying to: volvomax (Dec 01, 2008 10:04 am) My ex had a '95 850 with almost 200K when she sold it. It needed 2 things in all those miles: a radiator, & some sort of A/C repair for $1000, not sure what. When you look at the owner reviews of Volvos on Edmunds, some people do complain about smaller stuff, including electrical, but that often seems to be about light bulbs & such. Also when Hondas do get older, & start needing stuff like exhausts & brake jobs, it ain't cheap, not Mercedes prices, but I've known Honda owners to get freaked out by the price of repairs. |

Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 01, 2008 11:25 am) I had done my best to steer her away from it but,no she had to have it. It was an especially nice one too and I really thought it would work out. This was one of several that caused me grief. Volkswagens are another story. We have had so many problems that our GM won't let us keep them unless they are still under warranty. Of course, they have their fans too who don't seem to have troubles. Not slamming Volvos, just relating MY experiences with them. I loved my PV 544 and if I ever see a good one for sale, I'm going to grab it! |

Replying to: volvomax (Dec 01, 2008 10:04 am) Interesting. I'd not have thought of that. It definitely costs to maintain a vehicle. I had a 145 (in '72), and it had its share of problems, but was generally an excellent vehicle to have in an Edmonton (-40 F routinely) winter. Traded it in on a '73 240-Z. |
