So...I LOVE my 2001 xc70. I've got 154k miles on it and it still runs pretty nicely. BUT...The check engine light has been on for a while. I took it in and the codes read for bad O2 sensors which I had replaced at a cost of 1400 bucks. The guys who service it said it may keep the light off but there might be problems further down the line with the cat converter and the muffler--which would cost another 2-3k to fix and/or replace. There's also an issue with the tie rods up front. I've had Volvos in the past that have lasted into the mid and upper 200k mile range so I know I might have the car for a while, but the question is...should I bail now and take advantage of some deals for the 2010 xc70? I'm not as crazy about this car--design, ride, and esp the MPG! I used to have my '01 serviced at a Volvo dealership but have recently followed my service manager to his new place of employment which specializes in Volvo repair (they're just about as expensive as the dealer, but they can get some used parts, etc). Any advice on 'check engine light' problems? Any input is welcome. Thanks
