What about an S80?

Post by Capt Jack »

Hi All
In due course (probably in 18 months time) I'm going to replace my faithful 97 V70, and I'm taken with the S80. I like the idea of a saloon (sedan to our US cousins) for a change, and I've always assumed that the S80 shares engines etc with the V70 and thus should be an equally brilliant car.

I think that the 170bhp petrol model with auto transmission would suit me best. Are there any particular issues to look out for, or models and/or years to avoid?

Also, my V70 is a bi-fuel conversion. When it is replaced - assuming the price differential is still there, I'll almost certainly have the new car converted to run on LPG. Has anyone got experience of S80 LPG conversions?

Cheers

Jack
