Fellow Volvo Lovers,
I have a friend who is thinking about buying a used a US-spec 2005 S60 R
with 20K miles on it.
Does anyone have any thoughts on concerns to look out for, maintenance
issues or any other issues regarding this model of Volvo?

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. >> Stay informed about: US-spec 2005 S60 R |

spencer...try the www.v70r.com web site also, while it is dedicated
to the "v" or wagons...there is a lot of chit chat on the "r" factors,
as well...
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 .
