2004 S60 2.5T Purchasing Question

[alynch506]

Hello,

Looked at an 04 S60 2.5T today...108K miles. Had a few confusing items come up when talking to the guy. Car has been dealer serviced (Carfax checks out) every 6 months and regular service intervals. Garaged in florida for half its life and in Pittsburgh for the rest.

Asked owner if the timing belt was replaced at 105, he said the dealer said it was "good" and didn't need to be done. Carfax says "Recommended maintenance performed" at 106K. Should they have replaced the timing belt? Should I expect to do it soon? The owner also said he is unaware of any suspension issues or problems with the car, nor any suspension work that has been done. Should I expect to do bushings and struts soon?

Also, the blower motor was rumbling and will need to be replaced.

Owner is asking $4200. VIN is YV1RS59V442417428. Hoping to take to a Volvo guy to take a look over it before I consider and read all codes (it wasnt throwing any though).

Thanks!

Timing belt and, more important, tensioner and idler - replace it sooner the better. Suspension is likely worn, but can be deferred for some time.
