Thinking about picking up a Volvo S60R.....
Tuesday, July 11, 2006 8:06 PM
There is a new S60R at the local Volvo dealership. It is Black Sapphire Mettalic with the 6-speed close-ratio manual, 18x8 graphite Pegasus wheels, and Volvo Sport package. It only has 10 miles on it and I would be looking at $40K off the lot. These are a few pics, for reference, of what the car looks like. Except the one I'm looking at is black, and the wheels are 5-spokes.

Ah yes....the S60R is very nice if you have the change! There was one on the showroom floor when we picked up our S40. I say go for it!

Looks good but I can never get over those little wiper blades on the headlights. I'm just nitpicking though.

Have a good one,
Justin

Well, I went and took it for a test drive, and I must say that car was a refined beast. The car just looks so sexy, the interior is put together really well, there is almost no noticable turbo lag when you punch the gas, I just loved the close-ratio 6 speed, and the way it handles in its stock for would put my Cavalier to shame any day. All I could see doing to it if I bought it, would be to upgrade the suspension to the Koni/Eibach combo, add an exhaust system and maybe a few other engine and performance mods.

For $40k I'd much rather spend the money on something else. You can get a nice C5 Z06 for that kind of change....alot more options than that too.


What do you do for a living??? lol An 05 300C hemi and now a $40k volvo? I'm in the wrong biz.

Well, I make around $80K a year as a glazier, plus I've made enough money in the stock market to buy my house outright. I'm gonna get rid of my 300 if I decide to get this Volvo. Although a Z06 would be nice, I want something more than a 2-seater.

There is no possible way you can compare a Cavalier to a Volvo other than they are both cars.

We all know that the J is an econobox. /Rant

So the one at the dealer has stock wheels? If so, Nice!! I love the stock wheels.

Wow, 80k as a glazier. Who the hell is paying you that much? Hook me up because the average pay is mid teens low twenties with the highest payed union jobs clocking in at around 30-32 dollars an hour...im def in for that @!#$

Oh and that volvo, destroys the 300 IMO..id def buy it..

Well, I'm working for a non-union company. We do everything from tub-sliders to skylights. I'm making $30/hr plus year-end bonuses working 50 hours a week on average, sometimes more and sometimes less.My official title at the company is glazier, but I do all kinds of work, from fabrication to installation.

Oh, and Predator, the wheels are the optional 18-in. Pegasus 5-spoke wheels

Yeah non union is making less than the union jobs...I thought you were talking 80 grand base...which is amazing in that field.

I just wish I can have one like that!

In case you need replacements for volvo s60 parts... there are lots of available in the net. Cheaper and won't eat up your time in looking for it.
