You need to switch it off so you can use the old "rolling" method of getting un-stuck in a deep snow.
as far as the deal? well, carsdirect says I can get an '05 for only about $3K more. Personally, for that difference, I'd probably opt for a year younger car.
By the way, i read recently on the leasing boards that Volvo is giving dealers $8K cash on 2005 S80 leases that are done through banks other than Volvo financing. I'd look into going that route and then buying the car at lease end. It may very well work out cheaper by taking advantage of that incentive.
I read it here.
And that was in response to message 17836 on that same board.

I do not know where does CR get their data on body integrity, but my 2000 S80 is much more solid than any Toyota Camry or Honda Accord after 90K miles. And by 2001 most of the electrical problems have been corrected (though I did not have any).
Lock car w/ remote. Wait 5 sec unlock w/ remote. Everything should work normally.
1999 was the first and darkest year for the S80. The major components that are likely to fail are not mileage-related, and they are EXPENSIVE. I'd buy a 2002 model or newer, because this is a wonderful car.
I purchased a 2004 S80 AWD last fall, and now that the weather is getting nicer I enjoy opening the sunroof. However, I have noticed that my sunroof is very temperamental during my a.m. commute.
Specifically, when I try to manipulate the sunroof, the only thing I can do is tilt it (i.e. raise it in back) - can't slide it open. Once tilted, however, I can neither tilt it back to the "flat" position or slide the roof to the open position!
Only after attacking the sunroof button for 10-15 minutes will it allow me to "untilt" the roof or open/close as I please. At first I thought this was some built-in mechanism as I was trying it under 60 degrees F, but this morning it was 62 with no luck. My experiments also show it is not a function of the car warming up, as it happens whether I start battling the button at engine start or 45 minutes into the commute.
Of course, the dealership was unable to reproduce the problem...sigh.
Any suggestions are most welcome - thanks in advance!
They have GREAT seats, but they are money-pits AND their dealships cannot fix them!
S80 has a lot of great qualities besides the seats, and it is pretty reliable, especially after 2001 MY. You might want to find a better repair shop. I can give you a couple of names in LA area.
I will recommend used S80. My 2000 is 92K miles old and I am palnning to keep it for 3-4 more years and replace with another one in 2008.
You will hear another fan inside of a cabin later, when it will become hot. The car cools the interior down, so do not freak out then.
When it comes to the plastic cover - what do you expect? Plastic does break, if you hit it hard...
Stay focused on a comfort of the driver's seat, quality of the ride, etc, and enjoy your new car.
the S80 has pretty low road clearance, and I have developed a habit to slow down before the bumps and dips, so I do not scrape or tear off those underbody covers.
I drive much more boldly over the same spots in my wife's XC90, but it is a totally different story.
Again...thanks for the reply lev_b.
See if you can re-attach it on your own, I would not do it as a paid service, unless your are planning to use your S80 as an off-road vehicle.

Has ANYONE out their lost their keys and found a reasonable way to replace them? Can anyone other than Volvo program a key key and/or remote? HELP!
Thanks in advance -
Mike
That is, any P2 chassis car can't. S80, S60 etc.
Older Volvo's S70's, 850's those remotes can be reused.
Its not a monopoly, just reality.
Buy a new Lexus and lose the keys and see what happens.
Heck, in some luxury cars the motor co has to program the keys and remotes, not the dealer.
Are you saying this (and the other, similar sellers on eBay) are all an elaborate scam? Clearly they are selling remotes for S60, S70, S80, etc. and have happy customers.
Confused -

The older Volvo's, before 98 can be programmed by the owner.
Newer ones simply can't.
Some of the US models came thru w/ Euro boxes.
I have another question regarding the stereo system speaker placements. I have the basic 8 speaker stereo system in my T-6 Pr. Any idea what is underneath the mesh cover in the center of my dashboard? Is the opening there just incase I decide to upgrade?
I assume a center speaker would be place in the dash, but where are 9th and 10th other speakers placed in units with the HU-801 upgraded stereo system.
I'm thinking of upgrading my system, and would prefer to have HU-801 recommended setup if possible
It does not have DSTC and I hear it is imposible to install it aftermarket. Is that so? Anyone knows about this?
The center channel speakers go in there.
If the car has Nav, it gets smaller center speakers.
Any advice?
