I'm going to look at/possibly buy (bringing money with me just incase) a car next weekend, out in Easton PA.

Dare i post a spoiler pic or just wait until i buy one? :confused:
 
I like those quite a bit actually.

I also really like the C70's from the late 90's/early 00's.

That C70 is HOTT!

Those cars are nice man. I really dig the newer ones w/ the body kit. Not sure what that exact model is but its very classy and sporty looking
 
That's a nice car, as long as you don't trade in the 'Tour. haha Thats a decent drive from Staten to Easton. Any reason why?

You can get the "sport kit" on the S60R. It wasn't available in 2004, but can be bought and applied later (if needed...my svt's front bumper was fuXored from the NY roads). There's a reason behind the black color...painting those extra pieces = spraying them black as opposed to having to blend/color match.

It's about 75 miles, not too far. Any reason?? The car has 19k miles on it, 2 sets of wheels...the 18"s you see on it, and an identical set of 17" with winter tires, 7 year - 100k warranty (which means it'll be under warranty until 2011).

Amongst other things, like 300hp (turbo 5 cylinder), 6spd manual, AWD, active suspension with comfort/sport/advanced(race mode), swedish leather interior, heated seats, brembo brakes - everything but navigation. If i can't strike a deal there's another one with nav that i will make an offer on...just trying to stay away from the silver/blue color for a while.

Silver Snake just recently picked up an 05 for a steal - http://contour.org/ceg-vb/showthread.php?t=5872

it has the sport body kit

I'm really into this car mainly for the warranty. To get a comparible car around here would cost thousands more. I will be calling local dealerships just to be sure though. 05's had integrated sirius, or atleast a HU that would accept it...which isn't a big deal but would be nice.

cool informational vid + 5th gear review at the end:

it's really a bargain. so much better/more practical than the snake, but i still get to maintain my "sports" car and i won't be stranded in ice storms like what's going on right now :mad: as opposed to this: http://forums.swedespeed.com/zerothread?id=75554

not to mention my grandparents are getting old and need to go to the doctor more and more...we're trying to get my grandfather to give up his license (BAD eyesight), so yeah a cobra isn't gonna work very well for driving them around either. priorities change...sucks being a grown up.

Doesn't suck when you're picking up a hot Volvo! I was looking at V70 R's today, I want one soo bad, about as bad as I want an S60R. Nice car man, what color interior? Black on tan makes me drool all over my keyboard.
