@@MrTruth111 serious? I thought that was a comfortable car too? The S80 drives like a limousine. Have to watch My right foot because the engine loves the fuel 😁
Had mine nearly 3yrs now, a 2.4. Diesel 163bhp, 2003 reg. The best car I've ever owned, so comfortable. And very economical around town. You would feel safe in a car crash in one of these there that well built. And much faster than they look! I've left a few BMWs, Audis etc dead at the lights before, these beast's have great pulling power! There not just great executive cars, they got the capability to keep up with some of the top of the range modern cars of today
I owned a 2003 S80 which I thoroughly enjoyed for 14 years of driving that reached over 190,000 miles before the odometer stopped working. My first Volvo was a 1998 V70 wagon. I'm about to purchase a third Volvo. I've owned a brand new Cadillac, drove 10 yrs & new Mercedes drove 11 years.
I had S70 for 7 years, then 850 for a year or so. Now last sunday i bought 2002 S80 2.4T. So far its been so amazing. The ride and experience S70 and 850 had was amazing but damn this is on whole new level. Really really comfortable.
You want the best S80’s get either Premier or Executive versions. My 05 S80 Premier even has the rear refrigerator behind the center armrest. It also has the T6, 276 hp twin turbo engine, glove soft leather seats dual DVD players and screens in the front headrests. All in all a fantastic long trip vehicle!
I have T-6, this huhhh, Boeing power unit and fregatte body, the geartronic is best torque with accerelation. High comforte, still moving, long life limo car. Strong sweden vehicle.
I've read about it too, but according to my Volvo specialist I want to change it not to run, it may be more durable. Compared to the Audi tiptronics, it is much more durable. Only 3800 dollar can be bought in Hungary during the period 1998-2002. My car 3500 dollar, 2000, 195E km plus weekend car. Realy spared.
what you can do is do a flush, it prevents damage by removing the iron particles and restoring the cooling function of the transmission fluid. I bought one too last week, I have fun with it, but I dont plan on keeping it for longer than a year. The GM transmission is only rated for 200 hp, not the 272 what we have, But it is so much fun. I have never experienced that. I live very close to Germany and yesterday I went to Cologne and the max speed I got was 230 briefly because the road was not very good and it was windy. But cruising at 190 kph is unbelievably smooth and easy. So much fun.
I have a s60 from 2001. 260tkm runs smooth and its very solide. I had to spent 2000€ 4 a New clutch, flywheel and some little parts....but that was the fault of the preowner. Now everything is fine and had no issues since then. I would buy the same car if this has his job done. And the safety is almost as good as in modern cars. And a very important thing 4 me is that this cars have a soul....Not like vw audi and Co. I had an audi a4 it was awful..I gave the car back and took the volvo again. I love my s60 2.4 d5 130hp
Also it is best to avoid AWD since it need more service, 4speed automatic in the 6cyl models was a disaster and overall buy 2004 and later because there were minor changes that fixed some of the minor issues
There’s one for sale in my country, it’s the T6 4 speed auto. It’s got 47K miles for about 4700usd. What’s wrong with the t6 4 speed? It’s an ‘03 model btw
I have an '03. Not many issues over the past couple years but there is a little mechanic arm that used to determine if the clutch is down (for the cruise control) it can go bad and needs to be replaced. It's like €50 to replace and takes like 30 seconds but it really a pain to access it.
I've owned over 10 S80's. Had 3 2.5t awd S80's at the same time. Now we only have 5 of these. 2 of them 2.5T -04 awd's, 2.4 manual -04, 2.4d manual -02 and d5 automatic -05. One of the most comfortable seats I've ever sat on. I've driven a 1200km trip in a day on those leather seats without any back pain which is unusual to me. Quite easy cars to work on and parts are easily available. For some reason a S60 and V70 have more demand are most of the time you will get these S80's at a very low price. Would recommend to anyone who isn't interested in gas prices and want a comfortable and reliable car.
2006 s80 awd t5, was not too stoked on getting her initially. I've had been avid v70 owner 15yrs, BUT, after a few months - she's a beast! Only main issue I've had was turbo combusted & blew up threw engine - that was @160+ miles w/original turbo. After complete overhaul of engine, new turbo - now @ 199600milage - she STILL others in my wake. LOVE this "brick"
I believe those were Saab's seats, everyone tend to believe Volvo was the leading the safety race when they used to be the third behind Saab and Mercedes.
In the US there is no diesel option. The S80 is notorious here for transmission problems. My buddies mom had one, dealer serviced all receipts. 80k miles transmission blew into pieces. Electrical problems left and right, the car spent more time in the shop than on the road.

And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter. And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him. And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bible.kingjamesbiblelite
NEVER BUY A VOLVO. Having experience with repairing s60 and s80 cars has hardened my resolve to NEVER OWN A VOLVO. Terrible engineering, unreliable, cheap manufacturing. Volvo still tries to sell the safety angle but there are better cars that are just as safe; Volvo does not have a corner on the safety market any more. NEVER BUY A VOLVO.
Volvo are among the best cars if you have to have a European car, especially the cars from between the 70's and early 2000's. 5 cylinders are bullitproof, especially when maintained well they will get very high milages, sometimes putting Mercedes and BMW to shame. Research the D5 diesels online, check mileages...
That means you don't know anything abojt fixing cars. I'm a mechanic. I repair every type of car, but most i'm focused on rare cars. Those that everyechanic runs away from...like Saab, Volvo, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Citroen...etc. Volvo is simple , efective and reliable engineering. New volvos are a bit of a dog and don't compare to old ones. But still i repaired worst cars like BMW and Audi's . Those are really some engineering nightmares.
Im on my secund one now and it is a decent car. You can drive the hellout of them without them braking. Only had 2,4 and 2,4t limited so i cant say anything about the other engines. I would recommend this car as a fist car or a car you take to work. It is good as a normal daily but it is not the most fun car to drive. My favorite thing about the car is thr confort. But i would get a normal model and not the limited i have now. It is lowered from factory and it is the chassie that is lowerd not tge suspention. Still have that same as that normal once so it scrapes
+Followthepath The s80 high maintenance , breaks down often . Do more research and you will find out. The volvo's that were built before the 90's are the best.
@@OO7RX7 It isnt any more maintainance heavy than any other car from the early 2000's. If anything, the engines are well built and will last aslong as you take care of it.

Gota 2.9 2004 S80, also 300.000km.
@@rekamud6635 still going, 350 000 km on it and counting. Since the transmission, only ABS sensor got replaced, nothing else.
what about petrol engine s80?
5 cylinders are bullit-proof, IF well maintained.
@@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB well, I've got the 2.4 170 hp on LPG, because petrol is expensive where I love. I drove like 70.000km without oil change. And I dont know when the previous owner changed the oil. I could've driven 100.000km (60.000miles) in the same oil without any issues. Engine has driven over 440.000 km (275.000 miles) and runs better then most cars i've seen with arround 200.000km. So yes, the petrol engines are really, really good.
@@MrPolskaXboxNL 70 000km WITHOUT CHANGIN OILS????? That should be illegal😂 I change oils every 20k
I want ti buy an s80 2003 2.4 diesel with 280.000 km with manual transmission! What do you think?
I would say yes, I have one but it's an automatic. 2.4. D5 2003 163bhp. Done 120,000 miles. They can't half shift! Beautiful cars and so comfortable. Cost me about £700 on ebay here in the UK, I thought I got lucky tbh. Had only 83,000 miles on the clock too, and been serviced every year since new.
@fergie yeah there lovely car's to drive. Is it petrol or diesel? The diesel's are a lot more economical and quicker I've found, as I've owned both before.
Why are you quoting random ass issues with the car like you just googled "s80 common issues" and read some forum for 24 seconds...
Is it safe to buy a T6? Anything to know about it?
Very strong and durable engine, but it needs regular maintenance. Are you planning to buy a T6 ?
@@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB no longer after seeing the fuel economy 😄🙃
Dat is een mooie auto, en degelijk gebouwd.
ja, het is ontzettend goed. Ik hou van mijn. Ik heb een 2.4 dat ik heb mej gebracht naar America. Jij kan het seen op mijn channel. Het spijt me voor mijn nederlands. Het is een lange tijd devest since Ik been in Nederland geveest.
You better get the 2.5t or you will simply fall in love and go bankrupt keeping it on the road. It’s that’s good
Just buy the petrol one.
it is nice car
Common issue: oil leak!
Yeah, the quality of the leather is awful. Im looking to buy one of these cars and 80% of them have pretty worn seats, some of them are almost destroyed. At the same time, I have a Citroen 1996 with real leather and the seats are perfect... when I look to used Mercedes or Jaguar, most of them have perfect seats as well
Is there difference in mileage? Older Volvo been around the block so to speak.
You sound Dutch
Thats because I am Dutch 😅
Front suspension sucks on these
Mmmm
Acts 24:20-27 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

Shouldve left paul a s80 chump
So,after all that drivel,does Paul have a S80 or not????
NEVER BUY A VOLVO. Having experience with repairing s60 and s80 cars has hardened my resolve to NEVER OWN A VOLVO. Terrible engineering, unreliable, cheap manufacturing. Volvo still tries to sell the safety angle but there are better cars that are just as safe; Volvo does not have a corner on the safety market any more. NEVER BUY A VOLVO.
Volvo are among the best cars if you have to have a European car, especially the cars from between the 70's and early 2000's. 5 cylinders are bullitproof, especially when maintained well they will get very high milages, sometimes putting Mercedes and BMW to shame. Research the D5 diesels online, check mileages...
@@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB D5 diesel in volvo comes from VW group, right?
still driving my 2001 s80 2.9, minimal issues 324K. Beg to differ, highly recommend.
That means you don't know anything abojt fixing cars. I'm a mechanic. I repair every type of car, but most i'm focused on rare cars. Those that everyechanic runs away from...like Saab, Volvo, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Citroen...etc. Volvo is simple , efective and reliable engineering. New volvos are a bit of a dog and don't compare to old ones. But still i repaired worst cars like BMW and Audi's . Those are really some engineering nightmares.
@@SURF4LIFE84 nope, own design
Not a good car to buy
SHAWN T it’s an amazing car, depends on the driver. If you can’t drive good, then you can’t comment lol.
Im on my secund one now and it is a decent car. You can drive the hellout of them without them braking. Only had 2,4 and 2,4t limited so i cant say anything about the other engines. I would recommend this car as a fist car or a car you take to work. It is good as a normal daily but it is not the most fun car to drive. My favorite thing about the car is thr confort. But i would get a normal model and not the limited i have now. It is lowered from factory and it is the chassie that is lowerd not tge suspention. Still have that same as that normal once so it scrapes
+Followthepath The s80 high maintenance , breaks down often . Do more research and you will find out. The volvo's that were built before the 90's are the best.
@@OO7RX7 It isnt any more maintainance heavy than any other car from the early 2000's.
If anything, the engines are well built and will last aslong as you take care of it. How can you say it breaks down often, you dont know lol. I had coolant leak through a hose on my D5 engine, old rubber, but thats about it. 10 dollar part and it was good as new. 173 000 miles.
This car is ass. Less than131k miles with rich people regularly servicing it...still garbage and has 130k problems. ONE electronic issue causes 6 others. Mechanical issues are rare but ALL electronic systems are ass. Source: 2001 s80 twin turbskis 130k miles serviced MONTHLY
