An old S60? Hell no. There are a zillion other things jap that do the same job, better, maintain their value blah blah blah
I have a financially stretched housewife a week ask me whether she should buy this cheap Golf/307/Saab/werewolf cos it's "cute"..... "nope, get a civic/corolla/camel, cos you can actually afford what's likely to wrong with it".. And about half the time they ignore me, get the heap of shit in question anyway, then cry when I'm usually (but not always of course) right.
Having said that, if I'm going to have someone I love get in a smash, I'd rather they did it in a volvo
