Man, Volvo sure missed the boat by not exploiting the "sport wagon" concept in the 1970s...a very popular concept right now in the marketplace. I love 544s...I think it's one of the greatest little cars ever made (B18 engine ONLY!) and very under-rated. They are tremendous fun to drive, and you can buy a really really nice one for under $5,000.

Then a Volvo P1800 wagon back, a Porsche Targa, a trio of Benzes (the expensive hand built ones) and a ...

I am very interested in buying a 2000 Volvo V70 Wagon (with cold weather package, touring package and sunroof/leather package) but have heard some negative things about recent Volvo models -- particularly the 1998 V70 (and the new V40).

I'm searching for the best AWD performance wagon under $40k and, far as I can tell on the US market, it comes down to 3 vehicles: Volvo V50T AWD, the BMW 325ix Wagon, and the Audi A3 3.2 Quattro.

I just purchased a 1998 volvo V70 wagon. Word to the wise make sure someone checks the starter or electrical system. I am new to the Volvo family. My purchase is only a week old and this morning my car would not start. AAA provided a jump-start. My altenator and battery both checked out fine.

Hello, I've always dreamed to own a Volvo (preferably a wagon). I see adds for used 2000 to 2005 Volvos at a price that fits my budget (max $6.000) but I worry about having big maintenance / repairs down the road.

This morning, the Volvo repair representative told me that the car needs a new (Volvo rebuilt) transmission, at a cost of $3569.00. Volvo (upon my request) offered to pay for 75% of the part, and the dealer offered a 10% discount on labor -- but the total is still around $1900.
