"powertrain and electrical"...I'd take a closer look to see what it DOESN'T cover. A friend of mine got coverage for his newer e46 when he got it from a small indy dealer. It also covered the powertrain BUT NOT any seals. now he has a bad valve cover gasket and they won't look at his claim. Imagine if his head gasket went? man, he'd be hooped!!!
In regards to the S60R, how old is it? if the warrantly is pretty comprehensive for the powertrain and electrical, I'd say go for it. Has anyone here actually seen how fast repair bills can accumlulate on a late model S60R? those are VERY HIGH performance machines with AWD. ANY repairs are going to be VERY costly. The suspension is also very advanced, and repairs to it are also very pricey.
Basically this is not a regular Volvo by any means. And anyone who tells you that it's no different than a stock S60T or whatever is outright lying. I would LOVE to own one of these, BUT NOT after the warranty runs out. Heck, I dumped my 04 S60 with NA and 5 speed stick with 2 months left on the warranty and wished the new owner all the best. I even provided him the THICK binder of all the repairs that were covered under waranty but he wasn't interested in looking at it. his loss.
