May 5th, 2004, 08:50

Hi there,

Im looking into buying a used S80 T6. As im not technically minded I was wondering if there are any hint/tips you can give me with regards to finding a good car.

With regards to driving anyone give me any ideas what they are like to drive, performance, comfort ect..

Please feel free to drop me a mail with your thoughts.

Cheers,

Mark

I have just bought a S80 but at the other end of the spectrum a 140bhp 2.4, albeit with T6 alloys!

I nearly went to look at a T6 theres a cheapie on autotraer with all the bits inc satnav. It was £8500 but had 86k miles. I have heard that the autobox tends to need a rebuild at 100k so kept well clear, still got an auto but bog standard 5 speed with 50k miles so should last a bit longer.
