Default My New Volvo

Volvo Forums - Volvo Enthusiasts Forum - KSIMP88's Album: KSIMP's S60 T5

I just got this a few days ago. The mechanic who sold it to me is offering some good services. The tranny had under 100 miles after being rebuilt, I'm getting new tires for free, and new fuel injectors, new auto-dim mirror, wheel bearings, and other things. Bought the car for $6500.

128k miles, and ride nice. cuts out when flooring it, but the fuel injectors will most likely fix that. If not, the mechanic will fix it. He's a good guy, and I trust his work ethic.


Anyways, above is a link to pics. FYI, I say it's filthy. I'll hopefully get some free time this week to make her purdy.


UPDATE: ImageShack Album - 15 images

All clean! Good comparison:

nice car, I bought a 2003 s60 with a 135,000 on it for $3,200 so I can tell you there nice riding cars...I would just caution you in saying that please make sure the timing belt has been changed if not do so as it's time for a change and should the belt go cause its not been changed....so does the engine, that is the only thing I would tell you is to make sure that the belt has been changed with that many miles on it...enjoy your new ride!

Getting fuel injectors tomorrow. Currently get about 20MPG combined. We'll see what the fuel injectors do.

no I don't have a T5, however as quick as it is you would think its a turbo I average around 25-27 miles per gallon unless I am going on a long trip where I will avg around 28-29 mpg...I hope the new injectors work for you

Got the injectors, but they are still bad. MEchanic said his stock got mixed up. He just ordered new ones, and they should be here in a few days.
