2005 Volvo S60 R Sedan 4-door 2.5l (6) Six Speed S60r Standard With Extras on 2040-cars
East Granby, Connecticut, United States
Our Volvo S60R has been wonderful to us for 4 years, 65K, while we’ve owned it. It has 144K gentle miles. It sports a 6 speed standard transmission, Optional Volvo Blue Tooth, Optional Volvo 350W High Output Amp with Dolby Pro Logic Stereo and Optional Heico Stainless High Output Muffler. My wife has used this for her primary vehicle with no issues of any kind. It comes fully loaded with the exception of factory navigation. All S60R issues from 2004 were addressed for 2005. It sports 330HP (with Heico cat-back Muffler, 300HP without) and is AWD. Included are 4 winter R wheels, another R wheel with tire (not pictured), Volvo all-weather front and rear mats and an Aftermarket set of front wet weather mat covers. The car has been garaged every week day while at work. That's the good. Now the bad: During the last oil change at the dealer, we were informed the right Tie-rod end needs to be replaced. The “Not so Ugly”: 18 months or so ago, our Volvo dealer replaced a front OEM H.I.D. headlight assembly and front bumper after a friend backed into us while in the driveway. (Volvo bumpers are color matched at the factory so there’s no painting needed) A couple months ago our Volvo dealer replaced the rear bumper after someone backed into her while she was navigating through her work’s parking garage. No repaint was done and invoices of the dealer’s work are available upon request. Because these three items were full replacements with no other work required, these two incidents are not considered as "Accidents" but rather as "Replaced Parts". Please ask us ANY questions you may have. Price is firm so please look elsewhere if you can’t afford to buy. This is a rare find for a S60R with a 6 Speed. Many more miles and joy left in our Volvo. Thank you and please remember to ask all questions before buying. A $200 NON REFUNDABLE deposit due immediately via PayPal with the final sale in cash must be done within 3 Days. This is listed locally and may be removed for any reason.
FIRST SHOWING WILL BE ON FRIDAY THE 25th OF JULY. WE ARE NOT AVAILABALE BEFORE THEN, SORRY.
...something to note about the S60R...It has an onboard computer that monitors things like avg. speed and avg. mpg. We regularly get 24-25 mpg. average and 27-28 when on highway only - NOT the 19/23 KBB reports.
We've received several requests for a price without the set of rims and mats. Cash price in person - like buying locally outside of "you know who" so no selling fees, would be $6,700 |

Best cars for snow and ice in 2023 and 2024
Tue, Jan 23 2024What's the best car for snow? The real answer is "the one with winter tires." What do we mean by that? You could have the finest, most advanced all-wheel-drive system or four-wheel drive in the world, but if you're running all-seasons (the spork of tires), your fancy four-wheeler won't matter much. The odds are, any vehicle on the road running good winter tires will probably perform adequately in slippery, slushy and/or snowy road conditions. (Here's a more complete explanation of why winter tires are totally worth it). In other words, you don't really need any of the cars on this list. With a set of winter tires, countless others will do the job, and even these will be at their best with proper rubber. You can find a variety of winter tires for your car here at Tire Rack. Keep in mind that you will need a full set of four snow tires for safety and performance, no matter what you're driving. The days of your dad putting just two snows on the family truckster to get it moving in a straight line are long gone. Don't get us wrong, getting a car that performs well in snow and ice is still a worthy criteria for car buyers. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, 70% of Americans live in places that get snow and ice. And much of the country has been blasted with arctic air for much of the new year. So let's look at the cars. First, we're highlighting choices for a variety of buyers and price points. Second, we're not just considering snow; we're considering general wintery conditions people will experience driving to work or school. As such, these are all choices with advanced all-wheel-drive systems, usually with "torque-vectoring" systems that not only automatically shunt power front and back, but side to side between the rear axles. Most have extra ground clearance for getting through deep snow, and we prefer those vehicles with more responsive steering, throttles and transmissions that provide a greater sense of vehicle control in slippery conditions.  Acura RDX Read our Acura RDX Review Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system was one of the first to offer torque-vectoring, and besides often being touted for its ability to greatly enhanced dry-road handling, its benefits in the slick stuff can be profound. It's actually surprising that Acura hasn't leaned into this capability further by offering more rugged versions of its vehicles.
Volvo updates Inscription packages for 2015 XC60, S80
Tue, 01 Apr 2014Volvo is improving the luxury offered by the XC60 and S80 with upgrades to both models' Inscription packages for 2015. It is also making all of its models (other than the soon-to-be-replaced XC90) available with its new Drive-E engine family and Sensus infotainment system.
The Inscription package was previously available on both the XC60 and S80, but new upgrades include Sovereign Hide leather throughout their interiors, including on their instrument panels, seatbacks, center armrests and headrests. Inscription also adds wood inlaid trim and new floor mats. On the outside, the package is offered in Crystal White Pearl, Electric Silver and - exclusively for the S80 - Ember Black. The XC60 comes with 20-inch, ten-spoke wheels, and the S80 receives 19-inch wheels of the same design.
As part of its sponsorship of a yacht race, Volvo is also bringing the XC60 Ocean Race Edition to the US. Buyers will get their choice of black or blonde leather seats with orange stitching, a map of the race route on the rear load cover and the event's logo around the car.
Hot rod tractor stars in Swedish version of Farmkhana
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Nordic countries are known for their beautiful fjords, blonde-haired populace and bitter cold for a good portion of the year. The hours spent indoors during the dark, cold season apparently gives a lot of time for some crazy brainstorming. Tire store chain Vianor is highlighting the Traktor Terror in a new video. If Ken Block is the master of Gymkhana, then these guys know all about Farmkhana in their custom, turbocharged tractor.
According to the YouTube description from Vianor, the tractor is a 1956 Volvo BM Terrier with an added roll cage, adjustable front suspension and extended frame. The engine is thoroughly Swedish, and it's based on a Volvo 940 Turbo with a Volvo 240 head and Volvo 740 intercooler. However, it uses a Saab turbo Prospark ignition and fuel system. All told, the setup is claimed to make 225 horsepower and is capable of a top speed of 60 miles per hour.
That's not crazy power, but this tractor can certainly put it down. The farm machine has no problem smoking those big rear wheels and drifts easily.... although, it may be a tiny little bit unstable (hence the roll cage). If nothing else, this looks like the world's most fun way to be a farmer, that's for sure.
