2004 Volvo S60Luxury vehicleMPG: Up to 22 city, 31 highwayHorsepower: 300 HPEngine: 2.5L 5-cylinder Nice running Volvo S60R with automatic transmission. Can also be used in "manual mode" (shift through the gears at will without a clutch). Really fun car to drive, very powerful and safe. Recently replaced spark plugs and coil packs (200 miles ago). I've driven the car on a few 3-5 hour road trips through the mountains and it handling is very impressive. Really nice car, especially for the money. The vehicle is in overall "Good" condition, and is being offered AS-IS. You are welcome to arrange for an independent inspection, or to come and inspect it for yourself prior to making an offer. Feel free to message with any questions, I will reply as soon as possible. Buyer is responsible for arranging shipping of the vehicle. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of an accepted offer, and full payment within 3 days. Please have your financing in order PRIOR to making an offer. see below for an excerpt from Car and Driver Magazine about this car: "The S60R is powered by a thoroughly modified version of the 208-hp, 2.5-liter turbocharged in-line five that powers the base XC90 and the S60 AWD. "Thoroughly modified" translates to a low-restriction intake, two intercoolers, reground camshafts, reinforced pistons, continuously variable valve timing on both inlet and exhaust sides, and a new cylinder head and exhaust manifold. It also means bye-bye to the low-pressure Mitsubishi turbo and hello to a larger KKK unit that more than doubles peak boost to 14.7 psi. The result is 300 ponies peaking at 5500 rpm and 295 pound-feet of torque from 1950 to 5250 rpm.Although refined isn't its middle name-remember this 2.5 is a transversely mounted in-line five, an inherently uncivilized layout-the turbocharged engine exhibits minimal turbo lag and revs willingly to its 6500-rpm redline. It feels coarse doing so, as if the engine were grating a big wedge of Parmesan, and the sound is strained and raucous, causing involuntary teeth clenching when shifting at redline. But the results are all smiles.Zero to 60 mph comes at just 5.5 seconds, which is a full second quicker than the S60 T5, nearly two seconds faster than the S60 AWD, and most notably, only 0.3 and 0.5 second slower, respectively, than the Mercedes C32 AMG and the 340-hp Audi S4. Reaching the quarter-mile marker takes another 8.5 seconds, to 14 flat at 101 mph, trailing the two Germans by 0.4 but dusting the T5 by 0.9 and the AWD by 1.8.""Driven on a mix of roads, it is apparent that engineers gave diligent attention to the R's chassis, creating a sports sedan suitable for both highway and hairpin. The suspension features stiffer springs, revised rear geometry, larger anti-roll bars, and a trick, three-way-adjustable shock system developed jointly by Monroe and Öhlins, a Swedish racing-shock supplier. Each shock features one valve for rebound and compression and is instantaneously adjusted based on input from seven accelerometers placed throughout the car. Volvo calls this technology Four-C, or Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept. Via three buttons in the center of the dash, the dampers can be set to comfort, sport, or advanced, the last suitable for racetracks or twisty roads only and preferably if they're ultra-smooth. It could also have been labeled aquavit, because it's about as stiff. As long as the roads are buttery, the advanced mode is tolerable, rewarding the driver with the buttoned-down sensation of a GT car. Otherwise, sport mode offers the ideal compromise over most surfaces and is the setting we used regularly. It serves up plenty of bumps and ripples, similar to the ride in an S4 or M3, but it's an acceptable harshness. Comfort is the option of choice on the interstate, but that's the only place we'd recommend using it. It may be a comfortable selection for the highway, but it's not comforting on curvy roads, especially if they're rough or grooved."
