Used S60 Polestar???

Wooly

G'day from WA everyone - new member here. Swallowing my pride after decades of mocking Volvos (with the Supercars foray aside - those things were awesome) and considering a Polestar with 60-ish km. Doing due diligence and it's immediately counted out used Audi/Jag/Merc, even BMW sporty models, but can't find much info on the reliability and problems encountered by the Polestars.

Those who have had them for a while - what has the year on year experience been like? And would you recommend someone buying a used one?

Cheers in advance

What year?
Usual T6 engine problems. Usual driveline issues.
Very expensive brakes to service.
It's just a *60T6....

It's a 2015. The ad is on Carsales if you want to have a look - https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/volvo/s60/polestar-badge/western-australia-state/

Nice in white and last of them.
As I mentioned above on issues , it's a V/S60 with expensive brakes, suspension and a bit more power and some trickery with rear Haldex over the standard car.
Look at posts on here Regards the T6 and it's issues.
Spend money on servicing the issues at a good independent Volvo shop or in the case of transmission and haldex a driveline specialist.
The transmission can be rebuilt better.
Jim Walton Transmissions in Melbourne do the upgrades and it's good on my XC90V8 , sadly my V60T6 was written off before I could do the upgrades on it.
I had loan of V60 Polestar for a day or so off a mate, honestly it wasn't much difference to my T6. Needs racetrack to get benefit.

That is a very good deal! Given the car only has 65K km on it you will be have no issue. I have one too and its at 130k KM. Brakes and suspension will be your big ticket items when its due beside that everything else in terms of service and parts is like a normal S60 T6. Polestar has better software ECU and TUC compared to a R-Design. In the used market its worth every $$$. The 3.0 engine is very reliable as long you service it.
