the 2012 S60 I purchased used from a volvo dealer because my girlfriend loved her volvo she had back in the 90's.....and not what I'd buy.......has surprised me. It is a great car overall.......72,000 miles
I am addressing oil consumption.....the pcv diaphram failed.....top engine torque arm replaced......serpentine and timing belt replaced along with tensioners, my choice......no tranny issues, complete fluid change about 15,000 miles ago......paint, suspension etc., all good...
....All performed by me........I do have vida/dice which allows battery and tranny resets ......
but, because of oil consumption issues, I'd be hesitant to buy a used one.......and not paying new car prices.....
...other makes can have oil issues also.....buyer beware, right?....
