Welp... the day has come. After nearly 6 years of ownership, it has come time to say goodbye to my S60R. By far the best car I've ever owned and will be sorely missed.

My car was totalled and rebuilt last year and this time and I was able squeeze some more fun out of it, but the rough winter and terrible CT roads have taken it's toll on the old girl. Sad to say it's being sold as a parts car to a friend of mine.

I'm picking up a B7 S4 tomorrow to replace the R. Which is great but I'm still bummed.

I want to do this exact trade, except from Legacy GT to B7/8 S4. How have you enjoyed it so far? Only downside is I can’t fit a hitch to an S4.

I’m enjoying it. The clutch took me a while to get used to, but it’s all good now. Make sure whatever B7 S4 you get has the timing chain service done!

I have to say- the 4.2 V8 makes a great noise. I will be deleting my mufflers this weekend for some moar roar.

You may have to look for a hitch for the A4!

Oh and buy a Vag-Com.

A4 hitch would work on an S4? What is Vag-Com? Sounds like I need to keep saving!

It could. I’m not sure. I’ll be picking up a XC90 for that purpose.

Vag-Com just communicates with the car so it can scan for issues, and you can do software coding (windows down with remote, no seatbelt chime, blah blah blah)

Yeah buddy, keep me posted with what you go with!

Aaaaand if you’re really looking at B8 S4s just remember... you can get an RS4 for the same price.

Oh I’m looking at those too! I think I’ll probably hold onto the LGT for a while and get a fast second car. It’s hard to replace the utility it currently offers.

Yeah don’t buy an RS4... I’d be too jealous. They suck anyway. Not cool at all. lol

Yeah I’ve always been a fan of the LGT. Especially with winter coming up, enjoy that Subi. Right up until ringland failure!
