General: Used car mileage

[splodge]

Hello All

New to the forum and Volvo.

Am keen to get my hands on a XC90.

Hopefully going to see a 2007 D5 SE LUX AUTO in a couple of days.

It's got 75000 miles on the clock.

I would think that this mileage on a 4 year old car should be OK, but wondered if any of you experienced people had any thoughts.

It's up for £17k, any comments on wether this is a good price?

all comments/assistance greatly appreciated.

thanks

hi

i recently bought a 59 plate XC90 D5 with 18K miles on it for just under £20K. It was about £3-4K cheaper than others I had seen advertised, so definietly worth looking around and waiting for the bargin (if you can).

I bought an 07 56 plate XC90 SE Lux from a main dealer with 26k miles for just under £17k a few weeks ago. had been looking around for a while for a good example, they are out there if you bide your time.

I think Parkers suggest an increase or decrease of £50 per 1000 miles over or under what is classed as average mileage usually 10-12k per year. there is a guide on their website.

If that is the car for you then I'm sure there will be some room for negotiation.

ditto what they said, plus its coming up to a cambelt change

Thanks all

I'm being told that the cambelt change interval on a 2006+ XC90 is 108k or 10 years, which ever comes first.

Do you think that is realistic?

get the dealer to change it as part of the deal a new belt is a lot cheaper than anew engine .
