US-spec 2005 S60 R

Try your question over t here (while your there, do some reading)

I am also l@@kin' at the V70r's .... I would sugguest your buddy makes sure he hase a local Volvo dealer of shop go over the unit b4 final purchase..I will have someone go over mine .w/a fine tooth comb.....

btw: quite a few of the "r's" I am coming across ( 2004 - 2007 ) are still under warranty ..... good luck... the "r's" are a nive version.....

A few random thoughts.

The first question I would have would be why a three year old car only has 20k miles. Have there been any maintenance problems, in a major accident, etc?

Has all of the required maintenance been performed? Frequent oil changes?

Have a good Volvo mechanic perform a pre-purchase inspection.

spencer...try the

some of the folks have a LOT of knoweldge (sp) on the r volvos...

good luck...make sure you buddie lets you drive his new ride a bit, they are nice volvos....20k miles is almost broken in for a volvo...

cheers

Roadie,,,good questions...I would ( and will...when i select my v70r ) make sure to run the car fax report, and have the dealer run the serial number and pull all volvo corp computer records for the serial number...they can tell you when and what the dealers did to the car....

cheers

Recently I saw a 240 1990 in perfect condition with 38 thousand kilometers on it .23 thousand miles on it GENUINE .The old lady who owned it was in a nursing home and her son and his wife were asking what they should ask for it .They were doctors gyno and obs and didn't have a clue .The only expence was repacing the battery evry so often .She had put a small scrape on the rear door otherwise it was as bought originally .They are out there .
