Need a recommendation on buying an XC90

AUS T5 · Jun 18th, 2019, 07:16

Hi there
We are planning a trip over to the UK & the continent around Sept/Oct 2019 for about a year or so, visiting family and old friends. I am looking at getting a similar year model 2009 XC 90 as my current R- V8 one over here. Looking at fuel prices in the UK a diesel wagon seems a better option fuel wise and I have been looking on Ebay at the various models and the 2.4 D5 SE R-DESIGN which has the 182 bhp engine looks promising. I am hoping to find something that has no more than 100,000 miles on the clock, 1 lady owner etc for around a max of 4000.00 quid ! However, I am not familiar with these different speck diesels re economy or durability so am looking for some pointers/sugestions please
Cheers
