^^ Been looking myself for one of my Business Partner who currently who has a  bone stock a 2010 Candy red. I am getting that car for my son soon , and he is looking for a 2013+ black SHO to replace it.  Prices seem good right now for sure. 

And congrats on the Volvo - love the color you got too - kinda like the wrap on your 2010, no?

True, similar color. However, the wrap had a metal/satin finish. This one is a glossy/non-metallic blue.

My family just got rid of the 2004 volvo v70r. Was a great machine with lots of power, but after 60k miles it just started falling apart and needed lots of replacements parts like shocks and dampeners.
Enjoy your new volvo and post a pic

That's why I am renting it for 4 years/50K miles, all under warranty... giving the keys back after!

Man, I was close to picking up a gently used, loaded CPO S60 T6R before I decided on the SHO. Sweet cars. Still like them. But I was proposed with paying 10K more for a car which really didn't seem to offer much more than the Ford.
The Volvos are sweet. It's definitely a more premium car than a Ford. Sometimes wish I'd just paid it for a more premium, more exclusive car.

SHO are great cars... I had 2! I just felt I needed a change. After 4 years of driving a Taurus with over 500hp in the last 3 years, with methanol, modded exhaust (loud), with lower suspension... I wanted more comfort. Also, the interior of the SHO, especially the seats, were not as nice as the Volvo now. As for the prestige, I don't give a dam. If Ford would offer a car with better quality interior and perhaps a bit lighter, with same power, I'd go back with them. But again, I still own the 2014 Sport Explorer and love it... More comfortable than the SHO imo.

Hey steve! Good to hear from you. Yeah I don't understand why people buy these used BMW's, Audi's. These cars are insanely complex, and ridiculously expensive to repair or maintain. My friend has foreign car garage and some the hoops you have to jump thru to just change a battery is ridiculous. Good luck with the Volvo it's probably a lot like the Taurus. As the Taurus was built on a Volvo platform.

Hello Steve! Let me know if you track the Volvo at Napierville sometime after winter. I could join you with either the SHO or the WRX. As for the custom SHO exhaust you sold me late 2014, it's still in my garage, awaiting an opportunity to get on the car. Welcome back!

The heck, I might try it, why not! I will surely let you know. And don't forget, go to Federal Mufflers to have the exhaust installed... All work done for about 200$ (removal and cutting of stock exhaust and putting back all exhaust with welding). Can't beat that and they have done it a few times with my Tauri!
