I just purchased a 2005 S60 R, Dark Grey Metallic on Charcoal Leather. It has a aftermarket body kit with the 18" "R" rims. I was originally in the market for a Subaru, but, alas, I did not fit in any of their cars (6'6") except the Outback, and I don't like wagons. I was looking for 4 door, small displacement turbo, AWD, and found all that and MUCH more in this car. I like Volvo and the S 60 and the R MUCH better than anything Subaru had to offer. I will soon be making a few improvements, such as window tint, remote start, and iPod connectivity. I live here in Arvada, CO, and am excited to have a car that does extremely well in the snow, beats the rice-burners, and looks damn good all the while. Any essential mods, or suggestions for maintenance would be appreciated.

 

Anybody have any recommendations for good, local, independent Volvo Service Shops?

 

Welcome to the Volvo family.

 

Welcome! I'm in Oregon so I can't offer any advice on Volvo shops in CO. Good luck on finding one though. Congrats on the new ride.
