This auction is for a 2003 Volvo S80 T6. It is a 6 cyl, twin turbo with an automatic transmission that also has the option to shift gears manually. I have owned 4 of these and the motors have alway run great well over the 200K mile mark. The transmissions are usually a little less flawless but they seem to keep going and going. One example was my 2000 - the transmission started shifting rough once in a while around 70K miles and it finally went out on that car at 227K miles. This car is in real nice shape inside and out for a ten year old car. The pictures show the condition well. I got it for my son and he's used it for the past few months and drives it back and forth to a local job as well as a local college. We put new floor mats, center console cover and battery in when we got it and went over the car real well. It has been very reliable. The car does have some minor issues but nothing I think is major. Every now and then it runs rough for 20 or 30 seconds when you first start it and that has set the check engine light off twice. The local autozone reset the light and it showed an oxygen sensor code. My experience with these cars tells me it's likely one of the coils starting to get weak. You can get a new coil on-line for around $65 and they're easier to replace than a spark plug.***I put new plugs in it and it seems to have taken care of this issue - it's been purring like it should ever since*** It also occasionally can't decide if it wants to shift into 4th or stay in 3rd gear. This has happened about 4 times over the past three months and shifting it into 4th manually or stepping on the gas a little harder has eased it into 4th. The front tires look good but the back tires have some dry rot cracks on them. We've never had to put air in them but I would recommend replacing them. They also have a VERY aggressive tread to them and are noisy when you're driving. There is only one key to the car and no remotes. My son decided he wanted an old Honda Civic instead of the S80 so this car has to go. I listed this once before and was surprised it didn't sell. This car gets driven everyday and my wife and I commuted with it this morning and it's 60 miles one way. If it doesn't sell this time, we're going to hang onto it as our second commuter car. These cars run forever. My 2000 ran for over 150K miles after the transmission started slipping and this one doesn't even slip. Thanks for looking.
