Buying a used S60 , Manchester area
Hey up all , looking for forums brilliant advice in buying a used S60 auto , as yet not got one in mind.
Pitfalls , price I should be paying / mileage/ number of owners/ MOT / private / dealer etc etc apologies friends if I am I being to generic . Had 7 or 8 Volvos previously, the last a brilliant S80 (PL02GWD) which I gave away to a forum member just recently. Never had an S60 though , looking around 6k ish. Cheers everyone. |

John - not sure if you're in the right area of the forum? This is for S60 model years 2000 to 2009 - with the best will in the world I don't think you'd be paying £6k even for one of the best/last?

a good long test drive to get auto box up to temp to find any possible problems , mileage should not be a problem a large folder of receipts and some service history if possible check mot history on dvla web site there is a lot of cars out there choose carefully . if in doubt walk away

Not sure if this will be an issue for you, but worth noting that the S60 is a tad tricky to enter/exit the back seats compared to an S80/V70 of same era because of A) the sloping roof, B) the lack of rear legroom and C) door doesnt open very wide.
Worth considering if you intent to carry passengers. |

I have a V70, but my advice is to find somebody who looks after it.
I try to keep everything maintained, only use actual Volvo or a good quality after market parts and always get the car serviced at Volvo. look for someone who has an S60 who treats it well. |
