She's a 2002 S60 T5 geartronic, with 84,000 miles on the clock in dark green, and cream leather interior with 12 months MOT. She's a bit dirty as I've just got home from getting her, but tomorrow she will be blinged up with a good old bit of elbow grease, and a tub of polish....

Looks nice and a cracking low mileage. Hope it goes well for you.

If there's SH to back up that mileage, then it's a bargain.

nice car!!

exactly the same colour & trim as mine, i think the deep green contrasts perfectly against the creme interior...


but then im bound to think that i suppose..

there is some history, 5 stamps in the book up to 56k, plus all tax discs and mots, and it all matches up nicely... :D

and the box seems fine, *touch wood* it's not doing any of the things that indicate problems that I've read about on here, and there were no advisories on the mot.... happy days, it would seem... :)

Probably wise to pre-empt any box troubles by getting the fluid checked/changed. From what i'v seen its mainly when they go past 100k with no fluid changes that they start having issues.

lmao, great how a pal from Canada has noticed summat I missed, and everyone here has too....

(it's a good job I cant get ther taxed for a week or so)

Notice the discrepancy in number plates?

(after a quick fone call)

They just got the rear one done the other day, and are very apologetic...

Looking back at the pics I first saw online of the car, I can confirm the number plate has been replaced and the old one was correct and damaged, so it's just an error on the part of the plate guy... *phew*

Well, it was nearly the same.

When putting new fluid in make sure its the correct stuff for the 5spd geartronics, they use different stuff to the 4spds.
