V70 or S60? 2005

Which is the better car?
I am looking at 05 S60 with 100k for 3,000 and a 05 V70 with 87k just popped up on CL this morning for 3700. I own the V70 2005 non turbo but she has dead motor at 315k.

Re: I think I have a major problem. My Volvo died 300k

What would cost average to do timing? Mechanic charges 80/hr labor. It's also not the turbo model

I think I have a major problem. My Volvo died 300k

I am new here and new to Volvos. I bought a 2005 v70 last year that already had 300k on it. I wanted a cash car under a very limited budget. I wasn't thrilled about a wagon.
