Would you advice me to buy this car or would you say: STAY AWAY?
Does any one have experience with such high mileage S80 with automatic gearbox?
I am no so worried about the engine. (should I? ) More worried about the gearbox failing and costing much money to fix.
What should I in particular look for when viewing the car?
Thank you all for your advice, remarks,...
Wim.

Back to the op.... if it has been looked after and drives okay and the price is right.... why not?
You need a long test drive to get the gearbox up to temperature.
From memory the roads around you can be poor so check all suspension and bushes etc.
As always - check all electrics. Not inherently unreliable but can be expensive to fix.
