I have a 2000 S80 T6 with 155,000 miles on it I have lost interest in - I just bought a V70R to replace it. I bought the S80 back in December, with a blown headgasket and warped head. I bought a good used head and put it on, along with a new timing belt, cam seal, valve seals, head bolts, and a bunch of other gaskets. I cleaned the PCV system, and ground the valves as well. The car runs great, but it does have some front end damage that is mostly limited to the front right fender and lights in that area. I have another fender in better shape, but it is silver (the car is white). The only check engine code I have been getting is the timing over-advanced code. I used the cam tool to hold the cams while I set the timing, and the exhaust cam was right at the limit of the slotted holes in the cam gear. I'm thinking the only way to get it 100% right is to jump the cam gear one tooth back and re-time the cam using the slotted holes. I haven't worried about it that much though because the car runs flawlessly.
I have about $1600 into this car. I drive it almost everyday (I know they are known for transmission issues, but this one seems to shift fine - no slipping). I have 6 cars right now and need to get rid of one. I can send pictures if interested.

I forgot to add this car has tires that are in great condition, and a full size spare with matching rim. Interior is in great shape as well.
I like curves on my women, not my cars
