So I am looking to move on my S60 due to needing a larger car.

It doesn't get used very much any more, the car is a 2005 S60 2.0T, Facelift model, 5 Speed auto which has recently had a gearbox oil change and a full service, all oils and filters changes including PAS fluid, timing belt replaced at 87500 miles prior to my purchase.

I've had the car about 14 Months, bought to replace a 2001 Saab 9-5 SE, it's much more refined and feels a lot better screwed together than the Saab was but as our child seat has highlighted, quite a bit smaller.

I've spent a bit of money on things, just replaced the lower engine mount about 3 months ago, replaced front and rear drop links to cure the slight rattle it had and also fitted a detachable removable towbar which cost £180 and has only been used twice.

The car has a MOT until June next year, and has a pretty complete service history and in my ownership has had 2 oil changes with fully synthetic Shell Helix oil.

The issues the car has currently is the Anti Skid/Brake Assist Service required message intermittently comes up on display and it needs a boot spoiler fitting to it ideally as the previous owner removed it for some reason and it has 2 blanking plugs installed in the boot where it should be, purely cosmetic but I'd sort it if I was keeping it.

The car was code read and the fault is the Pump Motor for the ABS, which is available for £40-50 on eBay and doesn't need recoding and can be fitted in situ as per the guide I've posted below, it had the ECU replaced prior to my purchase and was fine until 2 months ago when the fault message came back on.

There are no other faults mechanically or electronically with the car, no corrosion or any major damage to the body what so ever, couple of age related marks and scuffs on the very lower of the front bumper but nothing visible tbh.

The car is quite a high spec, has the full upgrade hi-fi with the additional front door speakers, AC blows ice cold, cruise control, DSTC, clear coated front windows and mirror glasses to replace muck/rain, it also has a sunroof which works perfectly and full cream leather upholstery with matching Volvo mats, rear parking sensors and both heated seats work correctly also.

Also has the boot divider for shopping and had a new battery in November last year.

All in all it's a very good car, a new spoiler and a ABS motor and it will go on forever, 102000 miles which is low mileage for one of these, 17'' Orestes alloys with Michelin Cross Climates up front and Avon ZV5s at the back.

I'll get some pics up if there's any interest, looking for £950 Ono for the car, located near Saltaire, Weat Yorkshire.

Any questions let me know, would happily trade for a S80, Decent sized estate or a Saab 9-5 as we need more space

Money either way.

Cheers

Liam
