S60s are good cars, not much different than the P80s as far as maintenance goes. 2004 is about the oldest year S60 I would recommend, the earlier ones had a lot more issues with the transmissions, among other things. I wouldn't worry too much about the mileage, 182k isn't too high for these. However...

The P2 is generally a good car and when maintained last well. I have seen several for sale with over 500,000km up here. Has the advantage of the FWD chassis so no AWD system to service and maintain.

I haven’t checked their online prices lately, but back in October - when the Walmart auto service centers were closed due to COVID-19 - I got a set of 235/45r17 Sumitomo HTR Enhance WX2 shipped to my house for only $73 each. I did have to pay another installer $15 each for mounting/balancing, but th...

Not as good.

1. Does not shut down the REM.
2. The correct order is:

• A. Disconnect negative terminal.
  B. Disconnect positive terminal.
  C. Reconnect positive terminal.
  D. Turn key to POSII.
  E. Reconnect negative terminal.

D & E forces the control modules to reinitialize.
