Looking to buy a XC90 D5!

Mitesh · Dec 7th, 2009, 19:02

I am looking to buy a Volvo XC90 D5 Auto. I have just started to look and would appreciate any help and guidance for the experts on this forum. Some questions I do have are -

Does the 185bhp model make a big difference and what plate did they come available from.

Are Parking sensors standard on SE models?

How much does it cost to have the side steps added?

Also if any XC90 owners are looking to sell and upgrade let me know what you have.

Many Thanks

The 185 bhp does make a difference , mainly due to its 6 speed gearbox which is a delight to use with just the right ratios .

Definitely go for the 185, I think they came along in 2006MY, but I'm not certain, so best to check when you view. You can tell from one of the characters in the VIN, but I can't remember which it is.

Not sure if parking sensors were standard on SE, but most cars seem to have them fitted, so if it wasn't standard it was a very popular option.

There's a couple of threads on here about the side steps if you use the search function.
