I'm looking to purchase a car for a family as my wife is pregnant now. The 2door Jeep just doesn't cut it anymore... 
Anyways, I really like the Volvo S80, and I'm looking at a couple this week. Both are 99's, 120 and 130 K on them (70k and 80k miles) non-turbo. I love how smooth, quiet and luxurious the Volvo is.
Looking around the forum has me a little concerned about the reliability. I understand parts are expensive but I don't want to be stranded on the side of the road with a wife and baby.
Anyone have any advice or tips? I've seen lots of info about the ETM so I believe I should look for a yellow sticker on the front of it, meaning it's been replaced. Obviously a Volvo forum is the wrong place to look for non-biased advice, but I'll ask for some anyways... I'm also considering a Lexus ES 300, and I like the fact that Toyota products are known for their reliability.
Is the S80 as unreliable as it appears on the internet based on forums and reviews?
