Hi
Thinking of buying XC90 D5 SE 2006 Auto. First registered March 2006.
Looks good, 54k miles, FVSH, quite a few features etc, they want about £13k for it. Got a tow bar but apparently not much used. Missing headlamp washer cover and damage to driver seat moulding but electric seat still works. Otherwise seems fine.
What do you think? I have never owned a Volvo and would very much appreciate your advice and the answers to a few questions.
Does it qualify for road tax of £260? Will it really get 34mpg on a run? How is Volvo reliability? Does this one have geartronic and what is that? Is the cambelt likely to go soon? What does the SE have that the others don't? Does this car have the 185 bhp or is it the 163bhp?
Will be used for getting to and from country with kids etc on motorway, then rugged but not much off road country driving. Should I buy it?
Many thanks for your advice and opinions.
