Re: Thoughts and input please 2003 S60R

That car would go for a fortune here in the States. That's a little under $6k US. I'd start with asking if there are any messages in the message display. Any lights on dash after starting, any missing lights on the dash when turning the key to position II. Ask about tailpipe smoke during cold start ...
