I am not sure about a good mechanic in NYC, but someone should know of one. As for what to look for before you buy the S60 would be the same things you would look for when buying any used car. Get service records and make sure all the maintenance is up to date. Make sure there are no accidents, that kind of stuff. One thing to keep in mind is the ETM issue that these cars seem to have. There is a subforum just for ETM issues so you may want to check it out.

Have a look at our Buyer's Guide.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

1998 V70, no dash lights on

1997 850 T5 [gone] w/ MSD ignition coil, Hallman manual boost controller, injectors, R bumper, OMP strut brace
