Has anyone got a D5 exec or SE for sale?

[sigane]

Hi,

I'm on a bit of a limited budget and have a mission to buy a decent XC90 for under £7500 for the good lady wife. I'm new on here and wondered if anyone could help. I live in Gloucestershire but am willing to travel.

Cheers,

Si

Hi and welcome to the forum.

For that price, I would be very suprised if you find a decent Exec, no knowledge of the SE so no comment.

If you are really on a budget, the XC90 may not be the car for you to be honest.

I have only owned mine for about 6 months but I'm already in for new tyres (obv. knew this at time of purchase) wheel bearings and only today a Xenon bulb failure warning (£120 - 200 at a dealer I read on here today).

They are not cheap cars to run or maintain, how does <23 MPG around town sound?

I filled up from a very low level today for more than £86!!!

get your self on autotrader there are xc90's within your budget on there. have to agree with the other comment that they are not cheap cars to maintain or run so be prepared and for your money you are looking at a milage above 100k. having said all the negative stuff i would have one if i were in the market for buying, nice cars.

Cheers for those comments and I have already looked on Autotrader. Just wondered what else was around. Mileage isn't a major issue and mpg is pretty bad on our C70 cabrio too so we're used to it!!
Oh well I'll keep on looking......

Hey Hey,

I am picking up an XC60 in early May, so I must sell my XC90 SE 2005 54 plate with 128,000 miles on the clock - I have owned it since Nov 2008 and done 83,000 plus miles myself without a problem - however, I am now suffering a bit of ill health and need something smaller to manoeuver , and the XC60 seems to fit the bill. I used to own an XC70 Se Lux from new, and did 124,000 miles in that in 3 years.

I am copying some of the advert that I am about to put in Autotrader, just for your information, and I am looking for £8000 for the car - the Volvo dealers have offered me £7 to £7500 depending on what I spend with them , Glass's guide says £6500 to £8500 selling to a dealer and around £10,000 for a private sale -have a look , no obligation, it might suit you , by the way I get around 34 -35 mpg now that I am not working and only drive short hops, previously got 40 -42 on a daily round trip of 90 miles plus business trips . I live in Newbury in Berkshire, so not too far from you.

Very nice colour. Beats the crap out of the 'dull' silver of mine.
