thinking of buying an '04 R or an '06 2.5T S60

For 14K, I am looking at a 2004 S60R w/ all service records. It's just past the 67,000 mile mark / dealer warranty. Assuming it's in great shape after inspection, can I expect reasonable reliability? I change my Volvos oil after 3K (would probably use Mobile 1 on this guy) and use Volvo/Mann filters, transmission flushes after 20K, etc.

It's either this one OR a 2006 S60 2.5T w/ 52K on it, but that one is at the dealer and comes certified pre-owned w/ a powertrain warranty until 100,000 miles or 2011 (but it's 16K).

What do you all think?

Cheers, Paul
