That looks decent enough for the asking price. GLWS

Think it may be a better proposition for you as it's on your doorstep. Being honest, I'm looking for a few less miles at present with this lockdown. Best of luck with it

I'm not massively familiar with the xc90, more of a v70 history here - is that a 5 or 6 speed box?

Does the awd work?

[arcascomp]

Xc90 is like a bigger and heavier xc70, the third row of seats will take adults although its still a squeeze compared to the middle row and the boot will still have room for some bags unlike most seven seaters that only have space for two baguettes.

It's a six speed manual box and the all wheel drive works fine.

One oddity I didn't expect, coming from a v70 was the hand brake. It's an American style foot operated brake with a release lever on the right hand side of the dash. Seems odd at first but I quickly got used to it.

Would you be prepared to put a new MOT on it?

[arcascomp]

If I did that, I would be looking for a lot more for the car - otherwise I'd just keep it. Obviously the MoT could be a simple pass or not, probably will need something as I always end up with some sort of bill, maybe that's just me! I realise that's the gamble with a short MoT but I don't feel like anything major is playing up, however, I'm no motor mechanic either.

Really looking to clear it and change vehicle before we get even further locked down.

[YorkshireDave]

Ok
Good luck.

I'm guessing this is now away, as it's no longer outside your house and it's showing as a new v5c issued a few days ago?

Sorry, forgot to update. Yes it's now gone to a new home, just agreed to purchase a V60 Cross Country as a replacement. Bit smaller, cheaper to run and still as comfy to sit in.

Tried a Subaru on Saturday, lovely looking car, but the seats were too darn firm for my tender cheeks! Has to be a Volvo!!
