    Hi,

    I am thinking about buying a Volvo wagon. I put a lot of miles on my car going to work. I have had Fords for quite some time now and they are fine but always wanted one. Anyone have any advice/tips? I hear with BMW's that parts are expensive. Do Volvo's break down? Is it worth it? Thanks for any info.

    Your best bet would be to stop by a few auto repair shops and ask about their Volvo repair rate. They would know if it's something worth buying or something that nreaks down easily as well as the estimated cost of parts and repair.

    We have a Volvo SUV that we've had for 5 years, and it's been one of the best cars I've ever owned.

    They are not known for their stellar reliability....but they sure do look pretty. Want reliability? Buy a Lexus or Acura.
