US-spec 2005 S60 R

Fellow Volvo Lovers,

I have a friend who is thinking about buying a used a US-spec 2005 S60 R with 20K miles on it.

Does anyone have any thoughts on concerns to look out for, maintenance issues or any other issues regarding this model of Volvo?

Recently I saw a 240 1990 in perfect condition with 38 thousand kilometers on it .23 thousand miles on it GENUINE .The old lady who owned it was in a nursing home and her son and his wife were asking what they should ask for it .They were doctors gyno and obs and didn't have a clue .The only expence was repacing the battery evry so often .She had put a small scrape on the rear door otherwise it was as bought originally .They are out there .

A few random thoughts.

The first question I would have would be why a three year old car only has 20k miles. Have there been any maintenance problems, in a major accident, etc?

Has all of the required maintenance been performed? Frequent oil changes?

Have a good Volvo mechanic perform a pre-purchase inspection.
