Not a volvo expert so I use Parkers

http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/sp...&model_id=1065

the T6s seem to do 0-60 in 7s and 25mpg (new I suppose) Ins gp 16 according to their site

A review of teh S80 is here http://www.channel4.com/4car/road-te...?id=456&page=5
which briefly mentions the T6

I looked into buying one of these a few months ago but on checking around the various owners reviews websites they seem to have more than their fair share of Gremlins.

I do a lot of miles so decided against getting one despite them going for peanuts really.

S reg with just 22k , maybe its got a conflicted computer and has speant more time puzzleing mechanics than on the Road!

Early Models are prone to elctrical gremlins and imposble to get the bottom of.
Make sure you get atleast 30 days money back gaurantee and have the longest test drive possible even if it means filling up.

Also use manual mode on the geartroinic and make sure it changes smoothly and swiftly through all 4 ratios and make sure you give it a good thrashing.
Walk away if TRANSMISSION SERVICE URGENT comes up on the display!

I learnt the hardway with an early T6

sounds nice if you get it cheap - i'm completely inexperienced with S80s but i'd say in the region of £5k-5.5, even with the silly low mileage

Checked everything both myself and with a Volvo mechanic ,everything spot on, mileage genuine owner giving up driving at 77 yrs of age.Will be concluding a deal upon his return from holiday.
