I am buying a 2004 XC90 2.5T with 68k miles on it. I did some research and understand that there are some common suspension problems with this model year. I called the dealer where the current owner serviced the car and was told that all recalls have been completed on this car and the left rear wheel bearing was replaced in 2009.

So here are the major services that have been done on this car:
2007: Exterior light checked
2009: Engine serviced, suspension serviced, engine mount replaced, brake fluid flushed
2010: ball join replaced, automatic transmission checked, steering/suspension checked, recommended maintenance performed, light bulb replaced,
2011: parking brake shoes/pads replaced.
Also, the oil changes are done once a year.

So here are my questions:
1. The owner asks for $11900. Is this a good price?

2. Based on the record, do you see any additional major expenses that will be likely incurred in the next couple of years?

Other thoughts and inputs are appreciated too!

 

That is little overpriced.
Everything else sounds OK.
I own 04 2.5t xc90 with 106K miles. no major problems yet.
