Hello fellow Bricksters,
As an owner and maintainer of numerous 240's, 740's 850's and a V40, I am seeking wisdom regarding a 2002 S60. This car has 170K on it, I am told by the owner that it has been maintained well and is in beautiful condition. I am planning a trip to take a look at it. The drawback is the transmission. It has a problem that involves the 3rd gear...unsure whether it is not going in to 3rd or just erratic. I am not against installing another transmission if I could be sure that there aren't going to be more tranny problems due to the year or design of the transmission. He is asking $1500 to $2000 for the car. It is hard for me to turn down a nice volvo for that price unless it will be continual problems. Any wisdom for me?
