I'm in the UK and there are some tempting diesel S80s for sale from independent car dealers, usually 2004 to 2006 models with 60,000 miles on the clock, for about £7,000 to £8,000. They seem like a bargain to me, especially as some are being sold by car dealers specialising in ex company fleet cars. These will have been maintained well and mainly done motorway miles, not local driving. Hence they make better used buys. This is what the dealers' literature says anyway!

What do you reckon, is 60,000 miles on a diesel S80 from 2004-2006 a safe used buy or is it a little too much? And if 60k miles is ok, would I be better looking for a used diesel auto or manual?

Cheers
