That’s a nicely equipped S60. Merry Christmas everyone!

You’re correct, not all Rs came with the spoiler. Mine didn’t. Fortunately I was able to find one at the junkyard with good brackets, but I still need to paint it.

I had a Ford with those wheels which were taken from another Galaxy.

Now was it a Galaxy or Galaxie? They would look horrid on either.

Were you referring to this one? If so how can you tell if it's nicely equipped? If you think it's a good buy I'll have my son look at it.

What's wrong with this one? The Free CARFAX History-Based Value using his license shows a 2.4 yet the picture of the trunk shows 2.5T AWD?

Those wheels were more of a premium option for the S60s from what I can tell, plus it has premium audio and sport seats.

The tag might be borrowed from another one of his cars, he has a lot of Volvos. Or it could be that he swapped the trunk panel due to cracks.
