I like my old worn 96 C-class manual but i'm looking for something more modern with less age related issues, automatic, with a good sound system and good seats. Preferably a diesel too. I drive a lot for work and don't have time much time to spend on replacing parts. My first choice is a 04 to 09 W211 E-class but they are still a bit pricey for me if i want something sorted and decent.
There's a 07 Volvo S60 an hour drive away from me. It has a 5 cylinder 2.0 turbo diesel 163 hp and an Aisin TF-80SC 6 speed transmission. 308,000 km on the clock but it looks really good, especially the leather interior. Owner told me there's a full service history from new. What is the service interval for this transmission for this car model? What are the weaknesses and things to check first?
MOT shows only two minors faults: slightly worn front discs and a suspension bushing. I am told these cars are bulletproof and mileage shouldn't be an issue but i'd like to avoid playing russian roulette.
