Many Volvo Owners Here?

I started with, and still have, an 05 XC70 as a run around hardware bus, and thought it's a pretty good car. Then bought a two owner 160,000km 2000 C70 T5. Three weeks ago picked up a one owner, 160,000km 2001 S40 T4. Last night bought a two owner 190,000km 2000 V70R AWD Phase 3. Bit rough around the edges, but will come up a treat I think. Now looking at a 2001 C70 T5 Vert. I need help I think.

Not any more. Had a 1987 240 wagon that I put well over 200K miles on. After the fuel pump went out I got rid of it.

I'm on my 3rd wagon - all with stick shift!

That's all I ever liked.

Wagons with stick shifts!

Unfortunately, yes. Xc90. Super safe (which is why I bought it) for my teen drivers.

Anyone want it? I will cut a deal.

I had a 2006 X60R. Fantastic car but I eventually drove it to death.

I currently have a 2005 X60 2.5 AWD, my daily driver.
The wife drives a 2015 V60.

All great cars.

I've had 4 Volvo wagons.


1886 240 wagon
1995 Volvo 850 turbo wagon that I converted to a manual.

2001 V70T5 wagon.

I still have a 2006 V70R 6sp with full IPD suspension and upgraded Turbo and exhaust ect. But I think I'm going to sell it soon.

My wife's daily driver is a 2010 XC90 . Has a 3.2 inline six and auto . It is a safe land yacht but too boring for me . I would prefer a pepper wagon .

Really, really cool! It seems likely that you run in Volvo fanatic circles too but would hope Pelicans would get a heads up when it becomes available!

I definitely post up here, when I'm ready to let it go.

3 544's, B16 & B18, 1800S, 2 1800E's, 2 71 142E's in the 70's and 80's, and lastly an 04 S60R 6MT which I had to sell as it developed an electronic brain tumor, and hosed up too many systems to remedy. Loved it while I had it, though.

Two XC70’s, one a 2014 which we still have, only 103K miles on it. T6 Turbo, wife’s Grocery getter, and dog’s car. A Bertone coupe, circa 1986, a C30 with T5 turbo, great car, 2013 C70 hardtop convertible, another T5 Turbo and a fun car. All gone except for the XC70. Very few issues other than tires, brakes, oil changes and a couple broken rear springs. Comfortable, safe, dependable cars. Will probably sell the XC70 next year and update.
