08 XC90 AWD 6cyl
i got this for under $2K three years ago and finally starting to drive it. Has some pros and cons of course. Atmo it drives ok but needs a few key things
rather than pay piecemeal I’m considering getting this nearby 07 for parts… I’ll try to attach a picture
thoughts?? I’m just not sure if there’s decent compatibility between 07-08 parts
urgent needs:
front windshield,
driver headlamp unless I’m lucky enough for it to be just a bulb but I’m not counting on that lol
rear off side
Front struts,
shocks are as you’d expect, soft but drivable
brakes are OK
currently on winters but will need 4 all season tires,
plus fiddly stuff eg bits of trim, the plastic thingy around the front seat controls
Thx
advance for your input
ps the price in the ad is Canadian dollars- any notion what you offer as OBO?
In addition to the windshield and headlamp, you mentioned a few other items on your list, such as the rear off side and front struts. These are essential components for the overall performance and safety of your vehicle
Considering parts from a nearby 07 model is a smart move, especially for those urgent needs like the front windshield and driver headlamp. It can save you both time and money in the long run. Generally, there's decent compatibility between 07-08 parts, but it's always a good idea to double-check with a mechanic or consult online forums where experienced owners may offer valuable insights based on their own experiences.As for sourcing parts, https://rrr.lt/en could be a fantastic resource.
