Default Considering 2003 R Type - advice

I've been driving a Saab 9-5, have an opporunity to get into a 2003 R with 23K miles for $21k; don't know much about the S60R - what has the community's experience with this car been?

thanks

Scott Bowerman

For this info you may want to go over to SwedeSpeed. They are more oriented in the s60R models. I know some people here will respond, but for a better look into the issues go over there.

Steer away from the 03 as it is one of the first generations, I also bought my 04 R for $19000 so do some shopping. Stick with MT if you decide to go Model years 2003-2005 as during those years the GT has a torque limiter. As far as 2006 and 2007 you are good to go with either the GT or MT, like S70driver said visit swedespede.com for more details....I'm also a member over at SS.
