So I found a low mileage 2005 S60R for sale. By low mileage I mean under 60k.

Based on my research I found the following list of problem areas. The only issue is I'm not the type to wrench myself, the car is being sold by a new car dealership that is not Volvo, there are no Volvo dealerships in the area, and I live 90 minutes away.

Whats the best way to check out these things under these conditions?

What to look for: Slave Cylinder

What to look for: Leaky struts

What to look for: Angle Gear Leak

What to look for: Timing belt walking

What to look for: Exhaust Bracket of Death (EBD), actually the absence of it.

What to look for: Wheel bearings

What to look for: All suspension components

Thanks,

Lance
