Default £7k buying tips please!?

Hi ladies and gents,

I've owned several V40/70s over the years as I have 3 children and 2 GSDs.

We have our 4th on the way, and the wife seems to think that we are going to re-venture into the MPVmarket...(had a scenic previously, cost £thousands in repairs).

So naturally I've said no, and I want an XC90. A new one on lease is not financially viable. I don't really want to take a big loan out and therefore set a budget of £7k.

Located MANY T6 petrol versions on 04/05 plates with less than 70k miles. FSH. And cambelt changes.

There are a few D5s, that are slightly more expensive, but the pay off with tax and mpg is minimal.....

What's the best model to look out for?

We are looking to move house soon, to where we both work, and have a small second car anyway. So mpg is not really an issue...

Many thanks

Richard
