Question New to volvo new to forum

Hi,
I am negotiating for a used 2010 Volvo XC60 3.2 SUV I6 24V from a non-volo dealer... with 78K miles..I never drive a volvo before. I am confused with the CARFAX report, Computer reprogrammed,Engine/power-train computer/module checked more than 5 times in the history,is that something needs to worry, or normal.Is this model is same as T6 ??,Can somebody please guide me in my decision to buy it???????
Thanks in advance..

Carfax is overrated. The generic descriptions it uses for service visits are terrible. Those could just be free software updates, provided during factory scheduled maintenance. As long as it hasn't been totalled (and even then, it might not show up in a Carfax), and it shows good service history, don't worry too much about that stuff.

Thanks a lot Smith volvo...
Is the T6 model and I6 are the same or any difference?
I found a lot of wind shield water leak problem on this year model,is there a way i can check somebody (dealer-or owner) fixed it?
2010 XC60 with 78K miles dealer(in NJ) is asking for 15500+ tax& title is it a reasonable price for the mileage and year?I would like to keep the car for at least 7 years with an average 12000miles/year(if it doesn't break..) .Dealer not offering any warranty,what is my option on an extended warranty....Please advise this may be my first volvo..
Thanks in advance

they are both I6's (inline), the T just means turbinated
no warranty repairs of leaking windshield recorded (thats all I can say)
service records and a good PPI would be recommended
have not KBB it - but they do hold their value pretty well out here in Cali

Good luck
