Re: Thinking of buying volvo s60 or s80
These are great cars! Our Ford dealer recently picked up the Volvo line and I am impressed.

First thing when buying a used Volvo is the timing belt! Have a reputable garage change it and maybe the water pump. These engines run forever, but if the timing belt breaks, it's all over since it's an interference motor.

If you hear "Clunking" noises over bumps, then the swaybar links are in need of replacement and is a common issue.

Take care of the car and keep up with maintenence! I have seen some of these models come into our shop with over 400,000 miles on the odemeter!
