Looking at downgrading very soon to something around the £500 mark

I know beggars can't be choosers but I wondered if there are any Swedish bargains to be had?

Can have my 2001 s60 2.4ts Auto for £500 if you want. Mot April 2018. 82k miles, stack of history. Cambelt done 3years 4K ish ago. Had new rear section exhaust and some rear bushes for Mot and there's a minor advisory for
MOT test number7934 6064 0919 Advisory notice item(s)
Nearside Front Suspension arm has slight play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)
Body has quite a few dints/scratches etc. Original Tethys multi spokes are not the best and don't hold pressure in tyres for more than a week or two but I have a spare set of Orestes wheels that I had planned to have light refurbished and switched.
Could do with an oil service now though.

OK thanks. I'm not actually in the market *just* yet I just wondered if one existed or if I need to look at Hondas or god forbid, Vauxhalls.

My high miles v70 d5 SE is on ebay at the moment. Hoping for a little more than £500 but with the miles it might not make much more.
