#2 of 94 Luv my new S-80! by confuzed Aug 10, 2004 (10:35 am)
Purchased '04 2.5T (non AWD) Crystal Green with Premium, Touring & Climate pkgs. Also Rainsensor, Backup Warning, 17" wheels & Xenon lights. Got $8K off MSRP in Austin, TX. Paid about $34K + change for MSRP $42K. Incredibly happy with deal and car. Also got 3.9% financing thru Volvo!
#3 of 94 2004 S-80... by beer4704 Aug 27, 2004 (2:26 pm)
Base model...What are some good prices lately. Beautiful car but a bit pricey in my opinion. I love the "heft" of the vehicle but I am wary of the repair nightmares I read about. Driver's seat seems very comfortable. I drive about 30K a year so comfort is important. Reliability is also important going forward. Any experiences I would love to hear about, thanks!

Replying to: beer4704 (Aug 27, 2004 2:26 pm) Huge incentives and discounts on new S80's (totalling $5-8K) should drive down the prices of slightly used ones accordingly. So you might look for one of those. Base model seats aren't as comfy as T-6's, but still some of the best you'll ever experience. Better than anything German.   Buy a Certified Used '04, or buy new and don't get the extended warranty until the factory one is about to expire. S80 is much better choice than ubiquitous M-B and BMW these days. (Who DOESN'T have one of those?).   If reliability is TRULY paramount, buy a soon-to-be-extinct Lexus GS. Deals are good, but seat comfort will still pale by comparison....

Brand new 2004 s80 t6 with climate package MSRP of 46k available for sale at 34K... How is the reliability on these cars. Anyone know why these cars depreciate so fast?

#7 of 94 Just Bought One by mdavidovich Mar 25, 2005 (9:17 pm)
Just bought a 2001 with 69K from a import used car dealer in Dallas, TX. Paid 12,999.00 for it in immaculate condition. Love it so far & with the $1800 bumper to bumper extended warranty for 3 years of $36K miles feel good about it. Drove the MB E class same year for 5K more but went Volvo instead. Better ride & feel. Also I am an auto insurance adjuster & have done appraisals on some vicious Volvo wrecks where drivers walked away with minor injuries. In most cars they would have been fatalities, or major injuries. Great car love it for all of the righ5 reasons.

Replying to: itrolls (Mar 16, 2005 11:07 am) Because they are not reliable and the dealers cannot fix them! RUN AWAY!!!! Replies to this message: lev_berkovich (Apr 17, 2005 4:47 pm) dolphin (Apr 23, 2005 7:08 am) lev_berkovich (Apr 23, 2005 11:33 am)

Replying to: itrolls (Mar 16, 2005 11:07 am) They were never sold at MSRP at first place, the selling price for a 2005MY is, more likely in the neighborhood of 42K, plus T6 engine is discontinued (or just about to be discontinued) and dealers are dumping existing T6s.   The depreciation of 10-15% in one year is very typical. It is 2-3K for a 20K car (Camry, Accord) and 4-6K for a 40K car.   I've just looked it up. First year depreciation   Accord V6 - 2300, Camry V6 - 2100, Volvo S80 2.9 - 2900 - so proportionally, Volvo depreciates less.   Kelly Blue Book named Volvo XC90 the best value keeper among SUVs.   Look up True cost to own figures here on Edmunds, and you will see that most of the cars depreciate at the same rate. It is more visible though for the more expensive cars, because of the bigger absolute numbers.   The reliability of S80 after 2001MY is average - nothing spectacular, but also nothing to worry about. The technological safety advances, quality of ride, interior space, seats, decent pricing, etc. give this car a definite edge over her competitors IMHO.

Replying to: dolphin (Apr 17, 2005 1:12 pm) As I posted on other board - just look harder for the decent repair shop. My friend - an independent Volvo/SAAB repair shop owner knows S800 from inside out.   The dealership I use till my warranty has expired was pretty good too.
