Hey Everyone,
Long time lurker coming to you for some advice on my next Volvo.
My 2005 XC70 was totaled by a red light runner. I just received my check from insurance and with my budget I can spend $10,000 (US) on my next Volvo.
After an expansive search I have it narrowed down to 2 at a dealer an hour away.
Option 1: 2009 XC70 T6, 148k miles, asking $8,995
Option 2: 2008 XC70 3.2, 104k miles, asking $9,995
I called to set up a test drive of both options tomorrow.
Both have been for sale at this dealer for 9 months which makes me nervous. The T6 seems like it should be a good deal plus it has great service records.
What should I be looking for on each car at that age/mileage?
Edit: According to the Carfax, option 1 had its entire maintenance lifespan done at the original Volvo dealer that sold it.
It also shows that it had recommended maintenance service preformed at 142k miles as well as 147k miles 2 months before it was traded in.
This tells me that the 150k mileage service has most likely been done but makes me wonder even more why this great car has been available for 9 months?
Thanks!
