I just bought this 2005 Volvo S80 2.5T a couple of weeks ago.

Other than the leather, which looks pretty tired, it just looks, drives, and feels so new. It only has 65k on it so it’s in my hands to keep it mechanically and cosmetically youthful. Love it!

You made a good decision. Welcome to Club S80.

To be honest, anything will feel new compared to a C3.

Congrats anyway, Volvo is the best car company with Mazda.

Hahaha the C3 isn’t mine, it belongs to the guy who owns the house & it doesn’t run. My previous car was a Mazda2.

65K and 10 years old? Sweet!

Volvos seem to age gracefully.

Yeah, pretty sure it was an older gentleman who garaged it and took very good care. There was some veteran paperwork in the glovebox.

You can rejuvenate the leather easily! Try to get a steam clean done on the leather, follow up with some conditioner and maintain it with Leatherique. Boom, almost brand new leather, trust me.

Get Leatherique. It’s time consuming, but it works miracles on Volvo Leather.
