Your thoughts please, 2001 S80 w/230K, worth buying for about $2K?

Now that's a disposable car. If it is a T6.......pass (though you may want to pass even if it is not).

Is it a T6 or 2.9? That amount of miles i would be skeptical, even for that price. If its just a learner and you'll sell it later then it might be a good car to learn on.

It's 2.9. If T6, I'd be really worried about the turbo...

It had a new transmission put in by the local dealer 60K ago. By pictures, it looks OK.

This is not really meant to be a long-term car, my wife wants a Mini. But for a first "learner" car, I can't think of something that's safer or more disposable for the $.

Thanks...

i wouldn't worry about the high miles for a 2K worth car if you know the tune up history...just drive it and check the engine if there are any leaks or weird stuff, repair is costly but if you think it is fine, get it...
