A beautiful looking !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ! More about it after the jump.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

This thing honestly checks all the boxes for me (and my parents). It's not horrendous look (in fact, I really like it!), it's safe, gets much better gas mileage than my old truck, it's not completely boring, and it's a manual!

The cars got fairly high miles (190000+) but it looks to have been well taken care of. The owner is borderline anal retentive about rust so the car has never seen a PA winter. Plus, u like every other vehicle I've found, it's less than an hour away!

So what do you think Oppo? Is there anything I'm not seeing here? Anything I should check for?

NO! Hold on a second! OP, ignore For-Sweden for a second. We need a non-swedish opinion here!

...

Talk him down to 3000 or less due to miles.

If you can?

yup, thats one of the cleanest Non-R S60s I think I've ever seen since that body style was new. The non-turbo 5-cylider is super reliable (the turbo is too, but is *Slightly* more likely to have issues with PCV system, rings, oiling and cooling), they're massively over-built engines for the power output, well designed and pretty easy to work on. With that mileage if it burns any oil, check for smoke on startup, if it does it's valve guide seals and can be safely ignored for a very long time until either a) the cat clogs b) it starts consuming enough oil that the expense is annoying. Or pull the head off, refresh the gasket and get friendly with your valve-spring compressor, there's 20 of them bastards in there...

Watch out for clutch salve cylinder leaks, if it DOES leak, replace it before it explodes.

other wise... um, yeah, if it shows no obvious electric gremlins on a test drive then buy the fuck out of it and enjoy!

Wow, that looks super clean! I would say go for it, my dad bought an '01 V70 at around 175K miles in 2012 and now it has about 200K with minimal repairs...(when we first got it, the front struts/CV joints/whatever had to be replaced but since then it's been dead reliable! *knock on wood*) Also, loving the semi-checkered seats! Great find with the manual!
