107,000 miles for $3700 (pretty sure I can dicker down). Looks like its had some front end repair and hood has been repainted. I haven't tested it yet nor heard it run (dead battery). Engine bay looks ok except some minor oxidation on aluminum parts. Tires are evenly worn though not worn out by any means. Interior and exterior are both in good shape.

Funny thing, there isn't a single one advertised on Craigslist for Houston area.

by 2004 the transmission issues were pretty well sorted...

Still for the price as listed its not a bad deal, having not seen the car that is....

If you purchase the first thing I'd do is go to your trusty independent mechanic or dealer if they are reasoanble and flush the tranny, brakes and power steering whilst at it. Prices will vary but better to start with fresh fluids. Again the tranny issues were solved by 2004ish it still doesn't hurt to change the "lifetime" fluid they install (read: there is no such thing as lifetime fluid)

Timing belt and breather system will require service, and are past due if they haven't been done yet. If I recon its a 70k interval for the T Belt for the 2004's. Rear seat passenger space is a joke though :( if you and your passenger are 6 feet tall consider the car a two seater.

Front end work....find me a car with over 100k that hasn't had some front end work, to include a bumper and hood paint spray...

Good luck, again, if drives okay and the price is right and you can do the aforementioned you will likely be happy.

Oh by the way, dead battery may present some "issues" when jump started with the power windows and sunroof if I recall...requires some calibration if memory serves.

Timing belt is 120K to 150K depending on VIN. My California 2004 S60 is 150K but still 10 years for time. Unless it's been done lately it needs to be done, tensioners and idlers too.

i too am looking to buy a 2004 s60 2.5t AWD.
what are some common problems with this car? i've heard about transmission issues - have these been solved for 2004?
any other issues that i should be aware of?

thanks!

2001 and 2002 were the years. As I understand it, this applies to all Volvo's not just the S60. Even those years are fine if the software has been updated. I have a friend with 2001 V70T with a 160k and no issues. My Dad had 2001 V70 which was fine until 88k when it was totalled.
