I think I'm about to buy a used S60:

2004 T2.5
Silver/Black
Good too Excellent Condition
Power Everything
(I don't think it has premium stereo)
67,000 miles
$8800

Anybody want to talk me out of it? Will the crummy turning radius drive me insane?

I also wonder: can I put in an in-dash GPS, stereo, new speakers, with bluetooth and rear camera? For about $1000?

Thanks everyone!

Well the turbo should more than make up for the turning radius! Great Cars

 

Well I hated turning radius on mine, forget about U-turn also hated luck of space in the back.
It is excellent car for open road but pain in town.
Good mpg, 25-26
That is good price for good to excellent condition. I got $14000 for mine from insurance company two months ago.

 

To add, it is more sports car than family sedan so if you are looking into speed and sporty ride than big YES but NO if you are looking into family car

 

good price for the mileage and condition

 

just picked up an 04 T2.5AWD 70,000 miles for $8500. Loaded!

 

Back seat is very cramped. If you like to get your gangster lean on (like I do), don't expect to give rides to anyone with legs.

The turning radius is certainly poor, but you get used to it.

$1000 probably won't be enough for those upgrades. Shop around and see what you can find, but be prepared to spend a good bit more than that.

 

My wife has an 06 V70 turbo -- same turning radiuis problem. Just get accustomed to giving these commands: "right full rudder" and "left full rudder". She has 17" wheels which I believe adds to the problem. too. However, she's gotten used to it as she is the main driver of that car. I'm not, so I always have to be alert pulling into parking places and the garage. Other than that, wonderful ride, seats, power, etc. Just be aware that service costs will be more than Honda, Toyota, etc.
