Potential Volvo S60R to C55 Convert

Hi everyone I'm considering buying a 2006 C55 for about 40K. Where can I find more information about the options that were available for that car? I called my local MB dealer and gave them the VIN number and they gave me a printout but I'm not sure exactly what it means to me.

Question I had was that this car has Navigation but on the printout it states it's Bose. I thought Harmon Kardon was better than Bose.

Any and all information with links would be greatly appreciated.

nice.

volvo should have done RWD with AWD when traction is lost instead of FWD to AWD.

I thought all C55's had Bose whether they had Navigation or not.
