The first year for the S80 is normally to be avoided. There should be very little wear on the driver's seat with only 88K miles, suspect the speedo reading.

The T6 engine created a very hot engine compartment and cooked the wiring and engine electronics. The tranny is also suspect. The S80, while 'top of the line' was also the test 'mule' for all of the new electronics. Unfortunately, the electronics are very expensive to replace/repair.

I would pass on this car.
