Skinner Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 To find me a new car. Will be trading the Mazda in this coming may and I am starting to look for a replacement. Was wanting something a little bigger to carry the boys in. I have been considering a 4 door truck but really not sold on getting one. Looking around I found a 04 Volvo S60 R and I have to say I really like them looks/specs wise and they can be had fairly cheap. Over all specs are great for a daily 300 HP I5 AWD with a 6 speed and nice beefy brakes. So I am wondering has anyone had any experience with them what are the common problems if any. Since they are AWD I guessing ball joints but haven't found anything. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 $15k and under. right now but will know better come closer to may. Good luck getting an S60R for 15k or less that isn't trashed. They are really nice cars.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 on auto trader that seems to be the going price unless they have redicously low miles. Assumed you wanted a warranty/CPO Ect. If you skip that and get a 40k mile+ example I do see several in the 15kish range. DO EET! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Check out any saab's? no have considered the saabaru but it might be too small for my needs. same for that 9-3s and I don't think the 9-5 are AWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, they are getting down there in price. I guess thats about right, they were about 10k less than S4's new, and those can be seen around 20k with simlar miles. I drove a S60R, it was nice, but not in the same league as an S4. It def felt slower than its power level indicated. I think they look good though, and would be a great buy for 15k. :bangbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No AWD for the 9-5's, but are pretty decent in Aero form. I looked at them for myself, but couldn't pull the trigger. You only looking at AWD cars?

Mr. Jones Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Not sure how much you drive, but BMW & MBZ have some fantastically subsidized leases right now. 335xi Sedan is only around 500/mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I saw those too. M6 for 1000, rwd335 for like 450ish, Z4 M coupe for 500 etc. Pretty insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
