Looking at used 2001 S40, any comments?
I went to aused car lot and found a used 2001 S40 on the lot. It now has just over 100k on the odometer. What can I expect from the S40 at this age and condition? It seems to be in good working condition but I would rather get information compiled about the car before I test drive it and get enamored with it 
I already know to look at the mounts, but is there anything else? how about the timing belt? is there anyway to find out if it has been replaced? I used to have a 97 960 and it was a damn good car

Firstyou have to takea VIN number and check it atwww.carfax.com however you'll have to payfor this report around $35.Service interval for timing belt and tensener 105000 ml I recomend to change water pump too.Then you have take the car for test drive .

Engine mounts. Strut mounts. Bushings. Brake rotors. Spark coils. I have a 2001 s40 I bought new with 91,000 miles and this is all I have had to replace except for the battery, brake pads every 30,000, spark plugs and tires. I do have an oil leak that I believe is coming from the turbo. Will change turbo gaskets soon. Tech anything I missed?
