The '99-01 S80 are on the Consumer Reports "Used Cars to Avoid" list but NOT the '02.

The only year S80 Consumer Reports actually recommends as a used car is the '04.

Does it still have any warranty left? ie. was it a Volvo "Certified-Pre-Owned" (CPO) car? IF it has a 100k warranty and the price is right....

It will be safe and the seats are great. But if it doesn't have any warranty I'd probably decline unless it was almost free. S80 tends to be a bargain as a used car because it is awfully complex and expensive to fix.
