I am looking at getting a 2004 S80 AWD. It has just over 64,000 miles on it and am wondering what I should take a look at, besides the usual timing belt replacement.

These were horrible their first year, from '03 or so they have been great cars. I don't know much about these so get a good independent Volvo mechanic to check it out (worth the $60~100 to have this done). Also get a CarFax to see if there were any accidents with body/frame damage or rebuilt title. Good luck!

04's and newer are no different than an S60 in terms of reliability, no better, no worse
