Used Car of The Day: 2002 Volvo S60 AWD
Today we're bringing you a high-mileage 2002 Volvo S60 AWD that is available at a bargain price.
The mileage is 304,500 but the seller says the car has been well-maintained over the years and major items that have been "taken care of" include:
- Timing belt/water pump
- PCV system
- Rear shocks
- Rear brakes
- Clock spring
- Cam seals
- Plugs
- Fuel filter
- Trans flush
All of those were done within the last 12,000 miles.
The seller is getting rid of this car because he or she has 5(!) Volvos and this particular one isn't getting enough attention.
Take a gander at this Wisconsin-based Swede here. The ask is $3,250.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

One possible strategy to navigate the minefield which is the 2023-2033 U.S. personal transportation market might be to purchase an ICE vehicle which one likes and install an EV powertrain. But it's a little too soon in 2023 to do a conversion at reasonable cost without a lot of fiddling.
So, if one were fond of this vehicle, one could purchase it and drive it until the transmission and/or engine failed, and then look at what conversion options are available at that point - hopefully 3-5 years down the road.
Think of it as purchasing an option. 🙂
Of all the rides in Gran Turismo 4, this one has the least linear drivetrain and very disjointed handling. Also, every used Swedish car I've ever sat in smelt like crayons, yuck!
