Default 2002 Volvo S60 2.0T for Sale

Putting my Volvo S60 on the market. Below is my draft advert that I will be putting on Ebay/Autotrader in the next couple of days. I thought I run this first via the Volvo Community. I dont have any recent photos. But I will add some once I get a full valet done in the next couple of days.

Old Photos can be found on the below link.

https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/vbpic...?do=view&g=435

Its been very difficult to put this car up as I've had it for so long. But I sort of need the funds for a newer(ish) car. Please PM if you have a sensible offer and I be happy to provide Reg.

The car current millage is about 123k.




You are looking at 2002 2.0T Volvo S60.

This vehicle has been owned by me since 2005 and have I've made a number of custom modifications to the vehicle- the full list is below.
P2 S60’s are rare cars now and this particular one will stand out. Its not a R but its different.

I have looked after since ownership in 2005 and was hoping to keep it as long as I could, I celebrated its 100,000miles a couple f years ago which is nothing for volvos and unfortunately ULEZ London Expansion next week has forced me to find a new home for it.

This car is outstanding long distance cruiser – With a relative good fuel economy.

With the wheel & suspension modifications and stiffer sway bars it’s eats up corners with no issues in those long country road drives which I thoroughly enjoy.

The car is nearly 20 years and is starting to show its age, it’s far from perfect but a pleasure to still drive it even if it has a few unexplained knocking noises coming from somewhere. In terms of body work, its still relative good, however the lacquer paint on the roof side trims are peeling off. It has picked up a number small car park door dents and a few small minor dents when someone probably done a hit and run whilst I wasn’t around. There was some damaged done to the near side rear door after my neighbor accidently reversed into it. But apart from that the car has never been in an accident. The door was repaired by it wasn’t never the same again to me.

Interior wise, its still okay, the leather seats have taken a bit of a beating. The driver seat is torn on its side which I heard is an typical issue for this age of vehicle and model. Cracks are starting to appear on other areas of the seats. The cup holder is broken and there is slight tear on the handbrake – apart from that its still good. A full restoration of the leather seats could help. At one point I wasn’t going to swap them for some newer seats.


Mechanical wise this vehicle has been well maintained – Recent health checks by Volvo last December 2020 didn’t flag any big issues other than one of the O/S Tire was getting low on thread. The majority of the life of this vehicle was self-serviced and maintained. This car was never abused and has been a family run car since ownership.

Finally got some photos.

So how much should I sell? I am thinking of the region of £2K. Let me know your thoughts.

Here's my advice:

Put OEM Grill back in.
Put OEM front lights back in.
Put OEM rear lights back in (definitely do this)
Put OEM wiper blades on (i.e the original old fashioned design ones).
Remove the black sticker from the bonnet.

Those improvements would (in my opinion) turn it from a £400 car, to a £1,000 car. It's a nice colour and has a tune on it, and the wheels look decent enough. The rear exhaust and bumper look like a neat job.

Then sell those mentioned aftermarket items on ebay and be prepared to post them out.

But those mods listed above really make the car look undesirable to the vast majority of potential buyers, especially in 2021 where nobody drives heavily visually modded vehicles anymore. It's a very out of date look. A plain S60 already stands out visually from the crowd amoungst todays very samey modern cars. So all those extra mods arent needed anymore.

That's just my two cents, to help you get the car sold.

Hi T5R92011,

Thanks for being the first person to contribute to the post, I was wondering where the Volvo community was and I appreciate your two cents. I know custom styles/mods I've put on this car is a matter of choice and was too my likings only. I need to say its been one adventure since ownership and sometimes feel I was/acted like a bad boy racer with the mods and stuff. I certainly wont be doing this to my next Volvo. But for me every additional mod to the car was a big thing to me and it actually made me happy. The next owner could easily revert back to those OEM parts as they are relative cheap buy nowadays but why go through the hassle when these cars are cheap anyway. Only reason I wanted to sell was due to ULEZ and needing a new car for the Mrs and Family. Your post has raised questions for me and perhaps it be best for me not to bother to sell it and keep it as long as I can - mainly for sentimental reasons and my big concern it may very likely end in a scrap yard early next year if it gets too costly to maintain.

But before I do that, lets see what others say.....

p.s posted some photos on how it was before with some of the OEM stuff.

I think the challenge is that you have a loved and cherished car which looks kind of great, but by the same score may not appeal to a wide audience??

I know in the past from my very Ltd experience that I have been suprised at how much some mods can make when removed from the car and sold, but sadly that they don’t always add to its value?

I think your £2k suggestion is very reasonable, and that if you found someone that wanted it with those mods it would be fine, but the audience would be small…

I love my xc90 and have had it over 5 years and won’t sell it. My suggestion would maybe see if you can keep it and get a second car which is what I did.

If that is not practical then perhaps list it As is and hope someone loves it.

If no takers then look at returning to normal.

I like the fact it’s so clean but am not in market for a vehicle.

The C02 emission is 240 g/km.

I wish I could contest this, as I have found similar aged or older cars/models that pass the ULEZ but mines don't

I would've have been gutted it my car was pretty new..
