Good Volue?
I have enjoyed Volvos for many years. What sort of problems are there and worn out replacement parts needed if buying an 05 Volvo S60 automatic 210bhp petrol with high 130,000 miles at a price of £5,000? Or shouldn’t I touch it? I do modest 8000 miles per annum.

That's a nice engine. Just enough power. More pleasant to drive then the T5. But it will need a replacement timing belt, tensioner and waterpump if it hasn't had them recently. More in car-by-car breakdown at www.honestjohn.co.uk The price isn't silly.
