Default Potential first Volvo owner

Hi everyone.. I hope everyone is well..
Apologies if I’m in the wrong section..

I’m looking to buy a Volvo S80 ..
I’m after 07-09 years model..

I have been a jag owner since 18.. and I have had pretty every model Xj they have made.. I have now sold my last one which was the current model.. so I have put that money into a house and I now have a budget of about 4K..
I love big long comfortable cruisers so I fancy a change..
my partner has a 17 plate xc60 and I’m quite impressed with it so I’ve decided I’m going to take the Volvo plunge..

I’m due to look at a s80 this weekend.. it’s a d5 se sport..
Does that sound about right? It’s got the 4c chassis..I have Read mixed things about this so any info would be good.. also what do I need to be looking for when inspecting the car.. it has full service history and seems to be in full working order.. it has done 103k

Sorry for the long winded post..
Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome over from the dark side

Not all the knowledgeable people for particular models will read this General section so you might get a better response by posting in the S80 '06-onwards section.

I hope you get some good information and find the right motor for you. Best of luck
