Just bought an S60 T5

[PaulZX]

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....

[foammanmark]

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

[PaulZX]

I paid £1300 for her... does that seem ok to you guys?

[local-looney]

id say so!!!
cracking find!!!

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

[d2k]

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..

[Gunscrossed]

I do like the S60, nice find!

[Kingsford G]

I do like all volvos lol.Looking good mate.

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

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.

[M-R-P]

You didn't buy it from Poole did you?
I was following an identacle car today same year, colour etc.
Nice motor, Enjoy.

Lookin good mate

[PaulZX]

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.
