S60 is less DIY-able than the 850s. A lot of it is software tied to the car, so pulling junkyard parts isn't as easy. The 04+ AWD has had little problems. The R is a great car, though its a bit small for some of us. It can move, you're dropping about 1000lbs and gaining about 80 bhp (assuming you have the low pressure turbo now). If you're getting an automatic and you can afford it, I'd go '06 or newer. The 04-05 were slightly torque limited in first and second. The 06+ added another gear into the transmission and let you use the full 295 lb·ft of torque. Either way its a fun car to drive.

If you're not driving it "like its stolen," are you really driving?
