2000 Volvo S80 T6 Sedan With 112,117 Miles | To Buy Or Not To Buy

[NewVolvoPurchase]

Okay, So I really need a car and I found a great deal 'I think'

I must be honest - I'm a little nervous about the miles. Kelly Blue Book has it at 13k I can buy it for 7k. I hear that Volvo's can run to 250k miles with little problem if they are well maintained. I'm just concerned that I am either getting a great BARGIN or a lemon. I hear that repairing these cars can be expensive....

the car test drives wonderfully and the VIN information appears as if it has been well maintained Details from VIN report listed below:
