Precisely. The reason it was driven a couple of miles back and forth is what makes this car less desirable.

Engines that do not reach normal operating temperature are prone to sludge and premature engine failure, and driving 2 miles does not allow normal temp to be reached.

So, on top of buying an unreliable car ('99-'00 S80) with its million electrical gremlins, now you are adding the sludge problem into the equation, and that makes this car a nightmare waiting to happen.

Pass, let it be somebody else's nightmare.
