I'm frugal (my friends call it cheap) as I like to keep my cars over 15 years with me putting on an average of 25,000 km (15,000 miles) a year.
Right now my 1989 Camry 4 cylinder is at 380,000 km (228,000 miles) so I'm ..slowly.. getting ready for my next car.
I'm considering an S60 - and was wondering what the group's opinion is of that model & my chances of having it over 15 years (without going broke in repairs).
It's pretty new for there to be a lot of info on it, there's plenty of 200 and 700 series cars with over 300k miles on them but that's an entirely different beast.
I've got a 2001 S60 with 92,000 miles on it. So far so good. I have had some problems with it. I had some brake booster issues, the links on the suspension and some power window problems. I picked up an extended warranty when I bought it used, so luckily everthing so far has been covered.
I have heard some horror stories about Volvos that have been manufactured post-1999 though. Just seems like reliability is not what it used to be.
