can anyone shed any light on this car? My Granddaughter is looking at one with 38K on it for her first car. Is this a problem car or something she can drive without tearing up everyother day. I have a 2001 S80 and it is a nightmare some times. Any remarks would be helpful. What kind of gas milleage should she look to get? THANKS

 

Any S60 after 2004 is going to be fine. Look for about 22mpg city and 30mpg on highway with premium.

 

Thanks prem gas may knock it out of the ball park

 

If it is not turboed there is no reason to put premium in it.

 

THX Will check and see if it a turbo

 

2005 have a new electrical system... the electrical can be questioning some times.... Best if u don't know much about car get a Certified preowned with VIP warranty.

 

CPO seems to add $3k-$4k

 

$3k-$4K seems a bit steep. Volvo North America MSRP is at $1500 for 2004+ S60s AFAIK.

 

once the car get old if u bring it to dealer... The amount of stuff they can claim on the vehicle + Rental vehicle provided free of charge with any VIP claim. it's well worth it.. especially XC90T6 1 transmission alone will get the cost of VIP back.
