I drove it and I felt nothing wrong with it, no noises or anything,its got 135 000km on the clock..is it to much for a turbo car? It pulls like a steam train, I really like the power! Good quality interior aswell,my bmw feels cheap after sitting in the volvo.. But what worries me is the turbo,Ive heard that the turbo oil seals can also give in at a early stage depends on how its treated.. * +

Lol sorry my last reply made no sense i was in a hurry. .I ment thats exactly wat my father said b4 selling his 735i and buying a s60 2.4t. .Its just endless headaches one after the other. .He cant drive it the same way he drove the bm cuz he goes through mountings like its a marble game. .Now even the gearbox is giving up on him. .R4k for mountings is quite steep * +
