Default Thinking of buying a S60

Wondering whether or not I should look at a Volvo S60. We do not have a dealership here.

What year?
I used to have one back many years. The only issue we had was the automatic transmission.

Since you don't have a dealership near you, I would save the following link as it has a ton on DIY for volvos.

Hope this helps.

are you considering new or recently pre-owned?

New cars are getting increasing complex so the dealer warranty is a big benefit. Pre-owned of recent years with less than 30K miles are shown to be the best value and once the warranty is expired you don't have the same incentive to do dealer maintenance.
