Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.05) based on 288 votes

Car starts every time. runs well. no smoke or colored exhaust and no leaks.   I put about 12K miles on the car since I bought it in March '13 from Oskuie Service Center. Inc who specialize in Volvos.  I have used Mobil One oil and changed the oil every 3K.   Fun car to drive.  I had a 242GT when I was in High School and College and I bought this as a project.   I have really enjoyed this car. but my kids have been giving me grief about driving an "old car. "  When I bought it. I thought my son. who turns 16 next month. would really like to drive it - but he is doesn't get it.  

What I have done (about 6. 5K in total invested): 

New Voxx wheel and Michelin Primacy MXV4  (195/60 HR 15) tires in April '13 (approximately 12K on them).  

New Michelin X-Ice Xi3 snow tires used only winter 13/14.

New Kenwood KDC-BT755HD car radio with Pioneer Speakers - bluetooth radio with remote. SeriusXM and Pandora.  

Car re-sprayed factory Metallic Dark Blue in April '13.
New alternator in June '13.
New spare tire March '13.

Issues:  

The a/c stopped working last summer.   A/c was serviced and converted to r134a before I bought the car.  I don't know what it will take to get it working.   Never brought the car in to get an estimate.  

Drove back from the Cape last December in a nasty rain storm and had an issue with the engine hesitating at a certain rpm.   After I got home. I changed the spark plugs and the car ran fine.   Since then I have noticed a couple of hesitations - nothing that disables the car or causes it to stall.   It is like a hiccup every once in a while.   

Driver's front seat adjustment large knob off - can use the small knob to adjust seat.  

Missing the coin tray between seats but I have used that space as a cup holder for coffee/drinks.  

Timing belt was changed at 125K in 2012.

I have a set of the plastic floor sleds/mats - three are in good shape the drivers mat/sled is worn and cracked.

As to the Autocheck mileage issue - the odometer works fine.

I have been asked if the car is available for inspection.   The answer is yes.   I will be around this weekend.   Please send me a message if you would like to inspect and drive the car.   Please note that the car is not now registered. but I have a large circular driveway.  I am also looking into getting a dealer plate so that the car can be driven on the road.
