New I'm on my third Volvo.
They do use a better grade of materials in their parts. The cars can last. On the flip side when these parts go, they are expensive and so is the labor cost. Even parts like a battery which except for the dimensions will cost noticeably more than a battery of identical performance specification but of different shape.

It's what's called "eating high on hog".

New Any repair bill over a kilobuck
