11 years and only 31K miles. Is this bad for the vehicle?

Wow, that's clean! I would go over everything very carefully and do the timing belt really soon if it hasn't been done, but that would make a great daily driver.
I don't think I would ever buy an S60 as they are basically 2 seaters. Our C30 has ample room for 2 adults once you get in. That being said I would buy that one in heartbeat if I needed another car. Great shape, clean, color and nice wheel combo!

I so agree on the S60 - the rear seat is a joke! More like a bookshelf. Fine for the front two people, but otherwise the cabin space is tiny.

Yeah, the back seat is basically useless. Only car worse is my E39, which is hilarious considering it's a wagon.

A small bookshelf :lol: at that. Are the S60's on a shortened P2 chassis?

Nice review on the S60. However, the guy is either really small, driver's seat is pushed up or both @3:35. They said it seats five :roll:. I bet it would make a great first car for someone young and it looks like it would drive every well.

https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/d ... 53857.html

It hurts me how Cambridge this post is
that sale post made me mad so i kindly informed him about the values of volvos inside and outside the volvo community and the absurdity of such a price. even inside the volvo community (like most of us on MVS) i dont think anyone would agree to pay $6300 or 5800 (his new price) for a 98 s70 that had 192k miles and only had auto NA with leather and hl wipers. for real though!!! look at the pictures closely. it has a few scratches, rims are scuffed pretty good. they didnt even take pride in cleaning it thoroughly before posting it. i suppose if it had 70k miles and MINT condition inside and out, then yeah i guess it could go for maybe 4000. yeckgh!

You have to ignore crap ads like this. He will be waiting7-8 years at even his “ new price”

It’s a 1500 runner less needed stuff.

How’s that AC holding up, seller? Just needs a can of Freon every other month?

He said his price is that way for Volvo collectors that want the blue paint (nautic blue i think?) with auto transmission.

I really don't think Nautic Blue is as rare as people think it is.
