Volvo C30 T5 2.0L Hatch

Maintenance/Repairs
1

Hey everyone,
I’m looking at buying a 2008 C30 T5 with 74k miles right now, and I’m curious about how it is to own a Volvo. How’s maintenance? Repair cost in comparison?

Thanks!

Maintenance and repair costs are in line with other higher end European makes ( BMW, MB, Jaguar, Audi, etc.). You should be comfortable with the idea of spending about a grand every time a repair crops up. Upkeep will be more expensive than your typical Japanese or American car.

Thanks, do you think they’re prone to having problems more than other makes? (With Toyota taken out of the picture)… Also, Would you say they’re difficult to work on? I’ve got a 2010 535i and repairing it myself is usually not an option.

Same thing with a Volvo or any European luxury type vehicle . If large repair bills are a concern then you should not buy a used one.
