Red face Advice on Possible purchase of S60 D5 51 plate

Hi all,

Been out test driving a 51 plate S60 D5 saloon this arvo, Manual box, 103k on the clock, one owner and lots of service history, is there anything I should be aware of before I make the purchase? I have to say I was well impressed with it! Although, I thought it might be a bit quicker than what it actually was, seemed to pull like a train in 1st, 2nd and then seemed to drop off a smidgin after that, but This is the only D5 I have ever driven, so nothing to compare it to at the mo, still loved it never the less!

Any owner ship stories would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Stanley

I have a Nov 2002 S60 D5 which I bought almost a year ago and completed 15,000 miles with no faults so far getting 42 mpg everyday and up to 48 on long distances. So far delighted with it.
Best of luck
Jim
