Wanted XC90

Skidmarks · Apr 19th, 2018, 14:36

Hi, great forum. Joined specifically to perhaps purchase a quality vehicle off one of you! Or if you know of one available. In the market for a 2008(58) (cheaper tax) or newer model with a few toys and tow bar. Just missed a nice 09 Se with bar, full leather and sat nav for £5750 so that's my bench mark. Sold my car so eager to buy right vehicle.
Thanks in advance

What miles range ur looking? 5,750 SE 09 plates looks very high miles?

That one was 130k don't really want that mileage but the overall package looked tempting as I believe volvos take the miles quite well. There's lesser specced ones with less miles available. It's just getting that balance right tbh.

Still looking for right vehicle. These move quickly missed a third one. Cash waiting. Not fussed about sat nav, tow bar would be good and cam belt service must've been done.

Skidmark. Can I just add my experience to this for you.

If I was to buy another XC90 (and I would) I wouldn't be bothered by the high miles, so long as it had a raft of receipts and bills for REPLACEMENT ancillaries such as wishbones, engine mounts, bets, rollers tensioners, discs and pads, swirl flaps etc etc. If you buy a lower mileage one, without that work having been done..... guess what you'll be doing if you keep it long enough......

I would be far happier with a well maintained and money spent on car, than one with low miles and nothing in the document folder.
