New guy here, just purchased a 2002 S40 for my 17yo daughters first car. Very clean car, a bit worried about the high mileage, 117k.

Anything I should look for? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Forum Skip. 117K is nothing on a Volvo as long as it was well maintained. As long as the PO had the records showing that all the maintenance as been done on time and is up to date, you have nothing to worry about.

LOL, 117,000 On any car is not bad as long as oil has been changed regularly, especially a Volvo. Keep the oil changed, the timing belt changed, and other regular maintenance, and you'll be fine.

Hope she likes it. About 2 years ago my daughter got a '98 S70 GLT. She loves her 1st car.
