1999 Volvo s80 SRS light on says it needs urgent service

I was looking to buy a 1999 volvo s80 the private seller is asking for 5,495. The vehicle has 105k miles 1 open recall and was owned by two people (same family). The SRS Airbag Light came on saying that the SRS Airbag needs urgent service. I know it costs around $100 to have the computer do a check but how much would it be to repair the problem assuming the most expensive it would cost? Aside from that the vehicle also needs alignment, some upholstery touch ups, a new battery and brake lights. I was thinking of offering 4800 because of the repairs I would need to do. Do you think that is reasonable?  Thank you for answering my questions

You are in the Ballpark. It will cost you several Hundred to fix. Will prob have to have the module replaced. Go to a trusted European repair placed. DO NOT TAKE TO DEALERunless you want to give them the car. They are very happy with $$$$$$$$ You can fix for alot less than dealer. Good luck.

What does srs-airbag service urgent reset mean?

It means you must go to the dealer or a reputable Volvo mechanic so they can find out which of your sensors.. either in the bumper, or dash are not reporting. Otherwise it may not deploy at the time of an emergency. Usually this light goes off in older cars that haven't been serviced in a while.

Unfortunately, it's going to need to go to a dealer, or an approved Volvo shop that has the proper computer to reset it.
If you have a friendly local shop around you who's approved and capable, they will probably do it for next to nothing.

"SRS - AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT"...message

If you have SRS and "brake failure" it should be taken to a dealer. a shadetree mechanic will screw more up than he will fix in this case. trust me on this! you will pay a price, but will save you more $ and less headache in the longrun.
