Default Cylinder Head Repair

I am currently looking to purchase a 2004 XC90 T6 2.9L Twin Turbo. It seems that the previous owner had the timing belt snap and unfortunately had a cut rate mechanic make the repair. He put a new new water pump tensioner and pulley on it with the new belt and replaced bent valves . . and just recently put a new axle on passenger side and a new torque top motor mount. The car does not run apparently the motor is not getting enough compression when turned over.

My question is what are the possible issues with the engine, head repair with new valves, piston or even a whole new motor? I know there may be a couple of possibilities but im just looking for the full range of costs here. Before purchasing I plan on having Volvo look at it but before I run the expense of towing/inspection I wanted to know what I was getting into.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you getting a really good deal on this T6? There are a lot of good XC90s out there for sale. Why take on these kinds of problems?

Sounds like a good deal to me. Here in NE Ohio a 94 T6 with 100k+ miles in $10-12k.
