Well.. I bought the S60R. Where do I hand over my wallet! LOL

I'll post pictures when I get it. I take possession this coming Tuesday. It's a 2005 S60R w/ 95000 miles. Black Sapphire w/ Blue-Black interior. It's a 2-Owner car that's been dealer maintained it's whole life. I'm hoping that most of the early issues have been taken care of. I test drove it last weekend & it ran like a champ!

So, I'll be bugging all of you here & the guys over on Swedespeed whenever I come to something I have no clue how to do. I plan on picking up a VIDA disc & maybe a DICE tool to help out.

Congrats on picking up the car! Did you read through the pointers I posted in your other thread?
Also read through the sticky's in the R forum on Swedespeed. Lots of good info and more pointers for you in there.

Now we just need Pictures of your car!!!

Yes, I did & thanks. I wasn't able to get it up on a lift, but was able to jack it up a bit so I could get a look @ the underneath of the car. I didn't any major signs of leaks. As soon as I get it on Tuesday it's going up on my buddy's lift for a closer inspection. There were no error codes or CEL's on the test drive. It ran VERY strong.

Here are a few pics from the guy's ad:

Looks like a really nice car! I love the Nordkap interior.
You also have an exhaust (Evolve??) Are there any other mods done to the car?

As far as I and the current owner know.. only the exhaust was done. I need to go through his maintenance records... and contact the dealer to see if there are any from the previous owner... to see what has/ hasn't been done in the last 7-8 years. I'm hoping things like the fuel pressure sensor, fuel pump/ sending unit, etc. have been attanded to already. @ 95000 miles.. first thing I'm going to do is replace the timing belt & water pump (while I'm in there).
