Been lurking about for a bit as I shopped for and finally bought a 2004 S60 2.5L AWD. I really had no intention of buying a Volvo, but this one fit my needs, wants and finally budget, so it's now the vehicle I drive. I wanted to thank everyone here for their unintended help in making this choice. Used the forum to find those pesky buggers that needed to be looked at carefully during the hunt and to get an idea of what problem areas to look for. The car is surprisingly fun to drive, comfortable, handles well and looks pretty damn good for its age (more than I can say for myself). I have found however, that this is a $300 car. That is, everything needed, wanted or whatever, no matter how big or small, costs a least $300, before labor, of course! Anyway, again thanks to all for the help. Not sure how long I'm relinquished to this section, but I do have a few (hundred) questions to be answered. But for now, again I appreciate all the info provide herein. BTW, thanks for the alarm siren/sunroof problem knowledge, it helped knock a few hundred off purchase price!!

 

Congratulations, and Welcome! Enjoy you "NEW" ride.
