240 to 850T to S60R
I bought my '04 S60R from the dealer (certified pre-owned) back in the fall of '07 - she had 38K on the clock and today has 98K....I drive a lot. To date, I've had one problem: the recalled fuel pressure sensor (which was supposedly replaced, I had to argue with the dealer that the replacement was also faulty....which it was). Otherwise, I have not had any problems whatsoever.

She was running on standard oil when I got her, switched her to Mobil 1 Extended Performance oil (figuring the turbo probably heats up the oil more than NA) and change the oil every 5-6K miles. Like KlausC said, your old Mann filters are no good, you'll need to buy filter inserts. I get an average of 25 mpg city/hwy (22/28), this is with a heavy foot.
The only thing to keep in mind is replacement parts are more $. Fuel filter, brake pads, shocks, air filters, etc. I haven't had any problems with the AWD, but if I do I hope it happens in the next 2k since my warranty runs out at 100K!
The R uses a larger turbo and has two intercoolers so you'll get a few extra ponies over the T. Drove the 2.5T and wasn't too impressed, drove the R and brought it home. It's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
But like everyone else is saying, make sure to check the service records!
