The Pros of Volvos
The Cons of Volvos
Not too many parts on Volvos will break if maintenance is kept up. We try to maintain and replace items before they break down or get towed in.
Again, the high-quality parts can cost a little more than an average domestic vehicle, but we don’t see this as a con so much because it is not that much more expensive, and those high-quality parts will last a very long time when properly maintained.
That said, two models that do come to mind when thinking of costly maintenance are the 2004-2006 XC90s, T6s, and the Volvo models with V8s. Maintenance and repairs can get costly with those. Overall, so long as you find a good mechanic that specializes in Volvos and foreign vehicles, and you’re willing to spend a small increment more on the maintenance, we do not see many cons to owning one!
They do have scheduled, timed, and mileage maintenance items.
