    Considering an S60R....

    I might go all modern and get meself an S60. Looks like I will be putting my toys in my little carpet bag and moving on to a new grazing ground shortly....it's not 100% yet but.....I noticed a black 2007 S60R up for sale with the Dale Winton/David Dickinson dangly apple bag interior.

    Better photies to follow, hopefully. It's a geartronic (later 6 speed) and has done about 120,000 km. It's up for 6K, should I run away or investigate further....? Anything to look out for?

    In the uk the road tax is £480 ish a year ,just get the awd system tested and look for oil leaks on the angle gear.
    Also make sure it has a good service history.

    Funny that, the guy said it was the orange interior but photos don't seem to show it. They were dark so I lightened them up, maybe didn't come out well.

    Some info about the AWD........I heard it's an improvement on the previous system they used on the P80 - I had a 4-speed V70R AWD and that was quite good, although only kept it a short while

    Mmm... S60r...

    As already said, the angle gear is the real Achilles heal, that and the 4c dampers aren't cheap.

    Personally, I'd go for a manual with the tan-tastic interior, but as we know, there's something wrong with your left leg so can't drive 'em!

    Think I said when I saw you last actually, a '60r is the one for me when funds allow

    It must have been you that put the idea in my head fella. Tbh it was one of the few Volvos available. The only other decent one was another S60 from the same year, being sold as a T5 with a 2.5 engine.....honest I can drive a manual honest I can I just like an auto for a daily.

    The shocks you can get from Monroe I think. Angle gear yes that is a big cost & a bit of a worry. I'm sure I read somewhere there is some maintenance that can be done on them.....

    oh right I assumed that the orange and Dale's ball sack were one and the same. I've never had a good look at either will ask for photos
