Here's the *****bucket of a Volvo that we have. This car has been nothing but a continuous headache. I'm pushing for my parents to trade this sucker (only worth about 7k trade-in, but theyve got the money) in for a new GS. They aren't biting just yet tho, we went over to the dealer to have my SC appraised just for the hell of it, and the salesperson was a real jackass and a half. Ever since then, my dad seems reluctant to even want to walk into that Lexus dealer again. I told him there are other dealers around, but he won't take the bait. It's not like there is even ANY other car that he has ever "liked" more than the 1990 LS4 we had for 9 years. He started off with an old Volvo, his words after that "I'm never buying Volvo again." Then he owned a Pontiac Bonneville for a while, his words after that, "I'm never buying American again." Then he had a 5 speed Maxima that gave him nothing but transmission problems. His words, "I'm never buying another 5 speed again." Then came the LS, never a complaint, never a problem. We did pick up a 1994 Nissan Altima while we had the LS, but it got traded in for this new VolvoS80. Then we sold the LS back to the Lexus Dealer in exchange for my SC, and went to another luxury box -- BMW 740IL on his company lease, man was that thing a headache too. His words, " Thats the last time I buy a BMW." Lexus seems to be the only car he even considers buying at this point, but only God knows what's keeping him from acting on it and trading in this crappy Volvo for a new GS ![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)
HE did say the other day that with these gas prices, he really wants a hybrid as his next car. I can already see myself pushing the GS450h out into the forefront

I thought the new Volvos were good cars? I've never heard of a problem over here in Australia
Anyway, here's my old car... a JDM 93 Toyota Soarer 2.5GT... I loved this car, but continuous small problems started to occur more frequently... stuffed gearbox, accident damage etc... poor car
It served me well for the four years I owned it though.

The 2002-2005 model years are wonderful. Volvo did manage to work out the kinks from the first 3 years and have actually built a sound (mechanically), comfortable, stylish, fast automobile.
