If you can and want, sell it and find a good T6. It's a whole another beast with AWD which works better than majority of modern SUVs and the engine is simply put amazing with roughly 350hp and 550nm on stage 1 with tune, intake and exhaust. Plus T6 are more ofter loaded with Inscription package which adds another layere of "what a good car this is"
you should do a pov video while driving in town so we can hear how it sounds inside lol wonder what it would sound like it you took the mid mufflers off
As soon as I get a GoPro ill do that. Right now I'm looking at getting a 4k dslr and a gimball to take some proper videos. I need some audio equipment too
@@ryanleggott2716 how many miles does your car have, is it a high mileage one? Im looking into these cars but all of them are high mileage, the lowest one ive seen is 87K the rest are 100k+. Had any issues?
@@Kyle-gd3cw mine is around 103k. Reliability is a blurry topic. A lot of Volvo S80 owners say their car is very reliable. My current example hasn't been that way. The previous owner probably didn't take care of the car. When i got it it was 25k overdue for a spark plug change (changing sparks on a transverse mounted V8 was... Fun), then i found out i had a rear main seal leak that cost me 1500 to repair. Those repairs i did about 6k miles ago. Right now im either burning or leaking a very small amount of oil (a quart every 3k miles), I have not yet found out what is up with that. All in all not bad for a European car... But not reliable by my standards. I wanted to start modifying the car but most of my car money has gone to repairs. Long story short... The Volvo S80 V8 CAN be a reliable car lasting over 200k miles. . . Mine has not been so reliable, and i doubt I'll last past 180k without needing major repairs.
@@ryanleggott2716 Check on the swedespeed forums. I myself just got one of these and am replacing Valve covers(Fun job - taking to shop) There are a few other seals and stuff I am having changed along the way. You can also check the PCV and make sure its not clogged. You can do the glove test where your oil cap is.
@@WojtekCBRF rear main seal went bad 100k miles early. Previous owner didn't take care of the car, and when i got it it was 25k miles overdue for spark plugs, causing a misfire to happen at high rpm.

@@ryanleggott2716 as a Volvo tech I concur on the reliability. I have been finding some V8 S80's for the 5-6K range. I enjoy collector vehicles and feel like I'm the age of electrification this will eventually become a collector's vehicle. The sound is great. Just gotta work out of the Volvo's quality control kinks
What a beast, great sound, Volvo for life.
Nice! I have a 2016 S80 T5. I'm really happy with it - but would sure love an engine like this instead!
