If you opt for ANY type of extended warranty PLEASE READ the fine print. Most of those policies do not cover what you think. Many out source for used parts first, then aftermarket, and last resort an OEM part. And you have no say in it. Make sure that all gaskets/hardware/seals/fluids/lubricants...blah blah blah are covered in the contract too. Many people over look that when they buy it. We had a customer take it in the shorts because he bought some half azzed warranty from a used car lot and it only covered hard parts. Not anything associated with sealing components. It cost him $1500 for the contract ,and almost $900 for us to reseal the cylinder head after it went to the machine shop for resurfacing. Which wasn't covered either. Be careful....LOTS OF LOOP HOLES
S60 AWD's are very decent cars. And since you know someone in the company
I can help out parts/service needs. If you decide to go Volvo, I can definitely steer you in the best direction for keeping that car solid

If you decide to go to an R model, and you cans wing it, opt for an '06 or '07. They have the latest n greatest AWD system that is bulletproof. The other systems have 1 issue which is the temp sensor in the DEM (Differential Elec Module) the brain of the AWD. Its an easy fix, but you do not know anything is wrong until you need AWD....and it don't work 
Srsly, any questions please ask. Been here 12 years come next month. I know a thing or two

I went the whole damn day without getting on evoM once cuz I was so damn busy. My friend who was coming to visit this weekend bailed on me, so theres a better chance i MIGHT be going on the cruise Sunday.
So who wants to drive to Billerica and go out to the bars? Anyone?
