I’m doing some long term budgeting and would like to keep this car on the road as longggggggg as possible.
I’ve kept the car on its scheduled maintenance as recommended by Volvo and done all oil changes. It has about 86,000 miles on it.

      If you maintain this vehicle it could last you well oer 200000 mile. Sister in lawas cars is going on 280000 now and is still strong. Just dont wait when something goes wrong to repair it.

      Replace cooling system thermostat every 30k mi.,use synthetic engine oil, use premium gasoline(91 octane),replace timing belt a few thousand miles before it’s due, water pump,thermostat and all timing belt tension pulley and idler pulley every time t-belt replaced.I guarantee 300k mi. or more on your car.Oh, and complete car detail every six months or up to a year.
