Yeah I here where your coming from,but parts are also a nightmare sometimes to find for the old ones.Genuine is never in stock and after market is hard to find. We use to resort to wreckers when we had our workshop if you couldn’t locate a part! I guess thats why there are Volvo specialists cause generally most smaller workshops hate them!

Dont discard the new ones though,like most cars these days parts are expensive for all of them. Someone mentioned recently that you cant change the wiper blades on a VE Commodore you have to replace the whole arm at $50.00 a pop! That the big difference between new and old cars I guess, the new ones are a joy to drive though. Volvo have the best interiors for quality and design, I think anyway!

Ill pay that one
But seriously, you dont need anyone to work on them because nothing ever goes wrong with them, and if it does its a quick easy cheap fix. Todays cars – $600 for a headlight $1200 for rotors…, $1300.00 for routine timing belt… $3000 + for a computer because no one can figure out whats wrong etc etc. Cost to see other road users get well out of your way and keep distance in carparks….priceless.

Give me an old volvo 240 anyday. They will still be running when all these new cars have been recycled into washing machines.

Nick J,

All new volvo’s srarting with the new S60 in ’08/’09 will feature LED daytime running lights on either side of the grill. As long as they don’t loose the famous large shoulders and the intergrated tail lights who fend off the contoured rear end, I’ll be happy, as Volvo really has a good design language now. Much better than BMW’s or Merc’s now. I mean, look at the c class and 3 series now. One is as dull as dishwater, and the other looks like a tarted up Sonata.
