How much does it cost to maintain a Volvo?

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012
asked:


I am considering buying a 2001 Volvo s40 from a small dealership not associated with Volvo. How much do you think it would cost to get the car serviced and for parts if needed? My parents are considering this as my first car. I would take on the responsibility of maintenance since I’m in college and have a decent job. I’d just like to know before I get myself into something.

How do I make the interior lights turn out on our Volvo?

MortalGuardian asked:


At nite, when I open the car doors, the overhead lights in the interior cabin do not come on. How can I get them to come on whenever I unlock the car? It’s a 1995 Volvo 850. We enjoy smoking crack in it, if that helps any.

I have a 1990 Volvo that won’t start or stay running unless the battery is hooked up to an external power?

Friday, January 13th, 2012
staceylynn_1114 asked:


I have a 1990 Volvo that won’t start unless the battery is hooked up to an external power source. The strange thing is that the battery is new and it has a charge (It was hooked up to a battery charger all night and gives off a strong spark). The second that the jumper cables are removed the car stalls out. It has new spark plugs, a new ignition coil, new wires and a new battery. Any ideas?
