Just bought a Volvo S60R AWD Turbo 6 speed
300hp/300lb ft of torque. Bought it completely stock with 100k miles. Woman owned and always serviced at Volvo. All new suspension parts, motor mounts, fluids, 4 new BF Goodrich tires, factory HID headlights, heated/electric seats, electric fold down rear headrests, push button suspension modes (comfort, sport, advanced), leather everywhere, steering wheel radio controls...all the bells and whistles is what I'm saying.
I was looking for a Mustang initially but after driving to Cincinnati to look at one and finding tons of shit wrong with it, my wife went on the search for me. She knew I wanted a manual with 100k miles or less. Rather than search Mustangs she just left the make/model search function blank. This thing popped up. I almost told her no, until I realized she said the R model. Power and comfort in the same car.
Soon to come:
Window tint
Smoked tail lights
Downpipe
Borla muffler
Front mount intercooler
PCM tune
Fun times
Pics in just a few

A cop stopped me on the street and said "we're looking for a mugger who fits your description" , so I said "okay I'll do it".

The AC works on it but my wifes doesn't on her S60, so it's likely I'll have to break out my AC machine soon. If I do I'll text you about having the caddy done too. I haven't forgot.Marcus wrote:Nice.

I have had a couple Scandinavian tanks. Never had any of the newer cars. Always a 740. Loved them. The "R" models are pretty sweet. Nice looking ride PC.

Re: Just bought a Volvo S60R AWD Turbo 6 speed
Really the only expensive thing on this car, seems to be the 4C active ride control (the struts). Looks like they are about $300-400 each. Before I bought it, I researched all the common items: alternator, starter, battery, wheel bearings, clutch, brakes, gaskets etc...1fastmach1 wrote:I bet parts for a Volvo cost a fortune.
Mostly it's pretty comparable to a Toyota. I have a lot of experience with the Yotas for sure.

Re: Just bought a Volvo S60R AWD Turbo 6 speed
That's a definite plus. The guy next to me in the loud Camaro/mustang etc...will likely be stopped first haha. No one would ever look at this car and think, "that's fast". loljackalo626 wrote:Cool car. It's fast but very unassuming. Cops won't bother stopping you....lol

We had a '99 S70 T5 years ago- that thing would scream!
My wife has the 2006 Volvo S60 T5. Automatic. It's quick with a modest 210hp.

HID lights are a nice touch. I like it.

Duh, that's because they know they couldn't catch up with you in the Mustang but the Honda didn't stand a chance in hellDave1965 wrote:LOL I have had my red mustang for almost two years. no tickets and I drive it everyday to work like I stole it...ProCroation wrote:That's a definite plus.

But seriously, I don't doubt you. I'm just supposing that an officer was searching for two cars that were last seen "racing nearby", pulls around the corner and spots a Volvo and Mustang...I have money that says you're getting stopped before I'm ever suspected. Unless of course we're both just flat caught in the act. Then it's curtains for both of us. That being said, keep racing off the streets and on the track boys and girls. Safety first.
Oh and disregard my trash talk about the "loud Mustang/Camaro beside me" because I wanted to be that loud guy lol. I was just pointing out the lower likelihood of me being noticed.
