Default 2005 s60 r

I am new to Volvo,s and I live a long way from a dealership, would a S60 R with 60,000 miles make a good daily driver for me? or should i stick with the S60 or S40 T , base?

thanks

These are great, very drivable cars, but as far as daily drivers.....ehh. Maintence and repair on these things will clean out your wallet. But I guess it really depends on how far your commute is.

Default Buying 05 S 60 R on EBAY

Hi folks...first posting here..I have had an 850 that I love and am giving it to my daughter, replacing it with a S 60 R being shipped from Virginia this week. it is super clean, with all Volvo services being performed by the one owner. I am paying an additional 850 dollars to have them put new plugs in it since the originals are still there, and als throw in a new water pump while they are doing that, and changing the timing belt and tensioner as a precaution. Should run perfectly for another 100K with this, but is there any other things I might consider replacing before it ships next week? Any ideas welcome.
