Nothing like a really clean black P2 s60, and an R...
Southern car, so no climate package. Heated mirrors and seats and rain sensors missing likely.
Hydrocarbon test result? Drain and fill of transmission? Does it flare at all? What is the trans serial number?
What's the build date of the car? 2007.5 perhaps? Where is the other 07 door mirror?
All service 'up to date' but is the t-belt new-ish? Carfax clean and no liens?
Dry underneath? No codes with a clean scan?
Does the car have a sunroof? I'm not certain but think I see it. Overall some more pictures (or an album link) will be very helpful to those considering.
Looks really super. A nice car that someone will likely be interested in if these questions are answered.
Volvo will give you a new airbag, but take it in with a replacement that will be thrown way, because that R bag you have is no longer available.
If you don't get much traffic here, you may want to consider BringATrailer.com but be prepared for more pointed questions and make sure you have a hundred pics or more of just about anything you can imagine.

I'd like to know as well, but I have other questions too, such as is, that 300hp stock?? As far as I'm aware, those 2.5 5 bangers (mine included) only make 250. But I could be uninformed... Also does it have a turbo? I know most if not all of those 5 cylinders have them, but just making sure because I didn't see anything about it in the listing.

 

[ZZZZZZZ]

All the Rs came with 300 stock, and yes - all turbo. It was achieved with a larger turbo and a tune? Earlier automatics were de-tuned to not bust the transmissions, which were 5 speed. The later ones like this have a 6 speed auto (or a manual) and are 300 HP/295 torque. Various other nice additions were stock on the S60R and the V70R like an adjustable suspension at the click of a button, nicer bolstered sportier seats with super soft leather, bigger brakes, wilder colors and other design cues.

Wiki:
First introduced in 2004, Volvo's S60 R used a Haldex all-wheel-drive system mated to a 300 PS (221 kW; 296 hp) / 400 N⋅m (300 lbf⋅ft) inline-5. The 2004–2005 models came with a 6-speed manual transmission, or an available 5-speed automatic which allowed only 258 lb⋅ft (350 N⋅m) torque in 1st and 2nd gears. The 2006–2007 models came with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission (which was no longer torque-restricted).

Other aspects which set the R apart from standard S60s were the large Brembo front and rear four-piston brakes, 18-inch 5-spoke "Pegasus" wheels (available as an upgrade to the standard 17-inch wheels of the same design), blue faced "R" gauges, standard HID headlights, as well as the Four-C suspension system.

Semi-active suspension with Four-C (a short name for "Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept") allows the user to select from three modes: Comfort, Sport, and Advanced. "Comfort" attempts to soften the car over bumps, while "Advanced" firms the suspension considerably and gives more aggressive throttle response - a setting Volvo implies is for use on the race track. This is accomplished through a drive by wire throttle, allowing the same pedal travel to result in different performance when the appropriate mode is selected,[13] electronically controlled shock absorbers that can adjust themselves 500 times a second, and a complex series of sensors throughout the body of the vehicle. Volvo collaborated with high-tech system developer Ohlins Racing AB and shock absorber manufacturer Monroe for the self-adjusting shock absorbers.[14]

The Rs had three interior color options: Nordkap (metallic dark blue), Gobi (light tan metallic) and a R-only leather option; Atacama, available for an additional charge. It was an unpainted, orangey-coloured natural leather with a baseball glove thickness and feel.

The small trunk lid spoiler that was standard on the S60 R created a 20% increased downforce at the rear wheels at high speeds compared to the standard S60s. The S60 Rs have a 0.29 Drag coefficient, compared to the standard S60's 0.28, due to the larger lower front bumper spoiler to support the secondary intercooler.

Another Volvo factory option for only the S60 R was a body kit which included front bumper splitters, side skirts and a rear valance, color matched to the body. The body kit was only available with certain body colors and in certain markets.

The S60 R continued the tradition of "R" cars for Volvo beginning in 1995 with the introduction of the 850 T-5 R.

I'd like to know as well, but I have other questions too, such as is, that 300hp stock?? As far as I'm aware, those 2.5 5 bangers (mine included) only make 250. But I could be uninformed...

Thanks for the comments and all the attached info you've provided! I've seen many many of your comments over the years of Volvo ownership and it seems that you're quite active in the community.

So, I have all the photos taken for the sale currently uploading to google drive and will post a link shortly. since swede speed only allowed me to upload the amount I've uploaded currently. For the time being though, Ill try and answer your questions, in order, to keep it simple.

The car was purchased in Sacramento California at Nellio Volvo. It has spent the majority of its life in the valley in California and the last 8 or so in Carson City and Reno Nevada. So to the say the least, being in the high desert, its a very dry and rust free car. I do not have the build date on the car but will gather that info and post it this evening.
It does have a climate package, rain sensors and heated and power seats. The headlight wipers have been removed but I do have the motors and wiper arms. The previous owner took them off because he couldn't find new wiper inserts. Which for me, owning 3 Rs currently, to save money I just buy one insert and cut to fit. The timing belt was done about years ago at a Swedish specialist repair shop here in reno along with some other repairs, before I owned it.

I am a certified ASE technician and have near 20 years experience in the automotive industry professionally, in either a small repair garage for the first 7 years of my career, in Lake Tahoe, and the last 13 restoring and customizing classic cars, trucks and motorcycles, in Reno. So, any and all repairs my vehicles have needed, I've been the person to execute them. Including paint, metal work, and interior.
As for a hydrocarbon test, I'm unsure of what you mean by that. Are you asking that i need to provide a cooling system hydrocarbon test? I feel that that is a bit overkill. If you're asking for me to provide a smog certificate, that would be something my state does not require as long as there is no smog related codes present when scanning the vehicle with a J2534 scan-tool.
The transmission did have a drain and fill 3 times in the last 1,200 miles or so, but I cannot provide any samples. sorry. It does, however, shift better than any of my other Volvos with the 5, and 6 speed auto transmission. Currently I own 3 S60R's 2- 2005 one in silver and one black, and the one I'm selling here, the 2007 R, as well as a 2008 C70 (bought new for my wife). I have owned a 2007 XC90 but that was sold in June this year.
As for the mirror, I made a mistake the day I took the photos of the car. I was replacing, on two of my Rs, the window regulator clips,( if you know the P2 then you're aware of the clips drying and then need replacements). I had removed the mirror to polish the paint on the caps, while i had the door cards off. Mainly so I didn't get compound splattered all over the cars. When I put the mirrors back on i mixed them up and put the 05 on the 07, and visa versa. I have since swapped them back and it is no longer with 2 different mirrors on the car.
The car is dry underneath now that the radiator has been replaced (was leaking from the seam where the tank meets the core. replaced with a new part from o'rielly auto. I am a certified installer for them as to maintain a 1 year warranty. So there are No leaks and there are no codes when scanned in VIDA. I can provide a photo of the fault tracing page if need be.

In the interior photos, I did notice the airbag seams, but in all honesty, in person you don't see the X that typical p2 cares have. For some reason my iphone picked those up. The lighting was super weird that day, as seen in the same interior shot, the floor lighting seems very orange but is not. I try and get a better photo. Although I am not willing to try and deal with my local dealer here in reno. They're EXTREMELY difficult to deal with. Let alone try and get them to call you back on a
recall or warranty part.

As for your statement about BaT. Ill have to say that I have been quite pleased with them. My last sale with them was in April this year. I sold my 1969 Pontiac GTO through them and after the sale, due to my responsiveness, transparency to any and all questions and comments, as well as the quality and quantity of my photos (gto was photographed in the same location as this s60R), that I have been considered by the auction managers to be one of their best sellers. The submittal process through them takes about 6 weeks if you're lucky, but after my most recent sale with BaT, I no longer am required to submit. I just need to send the photos and info to my auction moderator and it goes up, pretty quick, in comparison to the 6-8 week approval process. I had considered selling the R through them but figured that this car in particular, yet being that it is very very nice, I felt that it was not of the caliber of car you'd usually see on there. Its not a 1 owner car and is not super low miles, etc. etc. Let alone the price ill get with them would be just about the same, leaving me to deal with having to arrange with shippers, and the anxiety of a no reserve auction. So, I have decided not to go with them this time around. Thanks for the recommendations though. I am one to definitely recommend them, hands down.

I am more than happy to answer anyone's questions, but there are limitations to what I am willing to do, in all honesty. This is not a $80,000 69 GTO that I put near 2000 hours into. It is a 15 year old Volvo with 129,000 miles that I'm asking under $10,000. There are some minor imperfections, yet mechanically and its presentation, IMHO, are excellent. It drives very well, its fast, and is very comfortable. No tears in the seats, and no major issues that I have been able to find. A great drivers experience in the cockpit. I am very thorough when I go through a car that I am willing to put on the market. Its not something I can sleep with at night, letting something that I know can risk someone's life and just not repair or just overlook.

Serial numbers and fluid samples are not something I am willing to provide. I can take a photo of the dipstick with oil on it or the coolant expansion bottle but thats about it. Again, the car is current with all the maintenance. fluids are clean, correct coolant was used after the radiator was replaced and flush at the same time.

I’m thankful for the responses. It’s a pretty car. If you look at the defrost button on console there are two dead panels where heated seats buttons would be. The car in the pics doesn’t have those…

I think if you have the air box out (time consuming), the transmission serial number is visible. There’s a thread with the trans serial numbers and which one appear to be troublesome. The fact that it shifts well and that you’ve drained and filled is good. The hydrocarbon test is done with a little kit to show if there is potentially a cracked block which is a real thing with the P2R.

Watching this. I think it’s priced pretty well and is pretty clean.

Hello, do you still have the S60R for sale ? I have a few questions.

 

[-R-We138]

Hello, do you still have the S60R for sale ? I have a few questions.

Yes I do still have the R. I can answer any questions you have. So, feel free to post on this thread and I'll get to them as quickly as I can.

 

[-R-We138]

Lowered price to $7,000 if anyone is interested.

 

[Ncook05]

What would the nearest maintenance be that you'd recommend? Tires? Oil? Timing?
I'm very interested.

 

[-R-We138]

NCook05;

At this point on the car, the nearest servicing should be in about 4,000 miles. Which would be an oil change. It has had all the maintenance and repairs that are required in the service manual, as well as other worn items that I had noticed along the journey of getting this car to the condition that its in. If you haven't read the description, please do, as it covers pretty much everything that I've done and goes over the majority of the condition of the vehicle.

I have had quite a bit of interest in the car since lowering the price. So if you want to arrange something please feel free to do so. I am located in Reno, NV close to the downtown area. My number is 775-287-3618 if you want to text or call.

Thanks-- Brian

 

[Ncook05]

HI Brian, thanks for the response.

I read the description -thank you for being so thorough- I just wanted to ask

I'll drop out of the interested party, unless you'd be interested in a down payment retainer..?

I'm up in WA, and in the HVAC busy season; so I wouldn't be able to make it down till February at the soonest...

Let me know.
Thanks, NTC

Hey! Man, I sure know how the winter time can be with hvac stuff. I'm in the automotive repair and restoration industry and it seems half the cars that come in are heater related. So I'm sure hvac is slammed about this time of year!

Honestly, I don't have the space to hold the car till then. New projects and a small garage/workspace keeps me limited on the amount of vehicles I can have. Especially the ones that are in such good condition requiring garage storage like this R.
I would be more than Happy to work with you via phone and text, settle on a price, then help coordinate shipping for you.
After selling my 69 GTO in April this year on Bringatrailer.com and helping the new owner with the shipping arrangements, it honestly wasn't that expansive or too time consuming.
Let me know if you'd be interested in possibly doing something like that.
Thanks. Brian
