Thinking about buying a '99 S80 T6
It has 91,000 miles on it, single owner.
It will be a car for my wife to commute to work in, and hopefully a road trip car for us.
First, do you guys recommend this model (i think i'm going to get a biased opinion )
Second, what are the common failure points that i should check out on this particular car?
Last, what are the first maintenance items I need to do if I do buy the car.

The only way I would buy that car is if the transmission has been replaced. Its a great car but the 99-01 S80s for known to have transmission problems. My transmission went bad at 114K miles just last year and I had to pay $3,500 plus tax out of my pocket for a new one. I heard the 02 and newer S80s are better.

if history not known,timing belt and related family, trans filter, fluid, all fluids is a good idea, cabin filter, this is a good start, also make sure all software upgrades, this is a good starting point for you.
