Hello everyone,
It's been a couple of years since I've posted on the Brickboard since
our beloved '94 850T Wagon gave us absolutely no problems up until selling
it earlier this month. Never did really over the past @9 years of ownership.
Well, earlier this week the Missus found an 05 S60 AWD on-line with only
41K kilometers on it and we have ended up buying our 3rd Brick in the past
20 years. (I think our 760GLE Turbo is still on the road too.)
Can any S60 owners fill me in on any known issues?
I've been out of the loop so long I'd appreciate the heads up.

Well, given that there has been no responses I'll take it that
there must be no issues with the S60.
Thank God for my 74 TR6 where there's lots of issues and plenty
of advice.
Hate to be snarky but are there any expert owners left on this site?

Nope :>)

We are mainly interested in the V/S70 and 850s. The newer S60s are nice cars and fairly reliable.

Like any car, you need maintenance history.

Hey Klaus,
I figured that if I was to get anyone's attention it would
be yours.
Thanks for your input on the S60 - we absolutely love it.
Imagine, cup holders in the front and the back consoles!
The 850T and the 760GLE Turbo had none at all.

My 1995 850T had front and rear cup holders. They pulled out from the center armrest. The 760GLE should have also had a pair of pull out cup holders. Neither will hold the American super size drink containers.

I put a cup holder in my 1967 220 and it cost me a whole $1.

Hey Klaus,
Nope, the 94 did not have the pull outs.
The 86 760 GLE had a couple of "dimples" for cups
on the inside of the glove box door that sort of served the purpose
if the glove box was open, but I would never trust them
with a cup in the twisties.
