Default New 2002 Volvo S60 2.4T owner

Hey there! Nick from Arizona.

Just bought my new to me S60 today. I fell in love with the S60 right during my first test drive.

I managed to find one with 55K miles and extended warranty to 71K miles, and it has all the goodies, plus upgraded 17" rims.

Only thing is the tires are bald, which I used as bargaining material.

I will run to Costco get new Mich Pilot A/S tires right after work.

Wife is not super impressed by the car but she thinks it's relatively cheap for a mid-life crisis car (as she says), plus liked the positive reviews from Consumer Report.

I will post my questions in the S60 forum if I have any.

Welcome. You can always mod the S60 to have +300 hp.

Welcome to the club.

>mid-life crisis car
It is better than a mid-life crisis tricycle.

Have recalls done at the dealer, if not done yet:

Thanks!

To answer your question: it is in the title Yes it is a 2.4 turbo.

This car had all the recalls done but I realized there is one problem that I could not detect when I bought it: therefueling trap door does not stay shut.

I wonder if this is some sort of feature or if it is simply broken.

When I put my finger inside, I can feel no latch

Welcome. The fuel door is notorious for breaking.
