I'm really happy/suprised to see that a Volvo thread is on this awesome forum! Very cool .

I'm new here, my name is Tyler, and I have a 2004 Volvo S40 1.9T with 105k miles. Yes, a 105k miles :).

Here's a day of detailing with my baby :) .







And here's a group one.


Well I was just so happy to see this part of the forum is here! I feel even more at home now.

Thanks for viewing,
Tyler

Thanks, I just had a bit of a bad thing happen to it 2 days ago. Some jerk backed into the mirror, front drivers door, and fender.

The mirror alone cost $500 to replace. I'm not looking forward to hearing about the rest. :( .

These are sweet cars! Our Delaership recently picked up the Volvo line and I am highly impressed!

That is nothing! We have had 3 come in with over 300,000 miles and one particular 850 Wagon with 414,000 miles on it.

A 2004 with 300k!?!?!

1998, 1999, and 2001. Volvo 850 wagons and V70 wagon < Those are the high-mileage ones.

We have a couple S40 models like yours with over 100,000 that come in.

ah gotcha. Was about to flip out for a secocnd!

I sure love it, we're looking into the XC90, but gas is an issue.

The XC90 is not as reliable! The engine is, but they have wheel bearing issues and tire wear issues.

99SableGS

I was unaware of this. Well are you seeing these issue more on older or newer models? In other words, are the problems being corrected?

I am seeing this issue on all XC90 models. Seems like every one of them have alignment issues right from the factory.
