S60 D5 52 plate on 72,000 miles

hal9000f · May 6th, 2009, 19:06

855 TDI, 1997.

229 k miles

Engine still A1.

Got new injectors and did timing last year. Runs like new after that, no smoke, even lower consumption.

Did a compression test. It was 28 on all 5 cyl
New should be 30

GREAT! :-)

Hi, this is my first post, I find all your comments very interesting. I am intrested in buying a 1 to 2 year old S80 D5 auto and would appreciate some feedback from you experienced bloggers!
I'm interested in opting out of a company car scheme, I currently have a 2 year old diesel Honda CRV This is a company car, the lease is up in Dec the car will have done 75k, I do 37k a year. Although it is very practical, I find the build quality very poor when comparing it to two S60 D5's I've had in the past. Both were company cars 164bhp S model, and over the 2 years I had each of them covered 70k/75k before going back. I didn't get a squeak or rattle out of each of the S60's the Honda has numerous problems..
I plan to opt out of my company scheme, take a lump sum in my salary and save the company car tax. I prefer the NEW S80, as the S60 was a little small for the kids in the back and the boot was a little small.
I've done all my sums, and think I would be quid's in if a bought a S80 for around 13k. I would probably run it for 3 years, put intergalactic mileage on it,180k (have an extend warranty) but make some good money in the process. Any one any Ideas how many miles this car should be good for? or am I mad!!!
Are they really as bullet proof as I think?
Thanks in anticipation for any feedback.
