I am interested in 2 xc90 volvos both are 2006 what should I look for minus the typical vehicle maintnace the only volvo ive owned for the last 3 years has been a 88 240

 

hello, first of all, scan the units, then verify the suspension mechanical parts and verify the electrical connections always found problems with that.

 

maintenance history is a strong value add. If you are unsure of how to assess a car, then it would be worth the $100 or so to get a professional inspection which will put the car on a lift and look for signs of past accidents, fluid leaks/weeping, worn suspension parts or chassis bushings etc. Do a test drive to make sure all features function properly. This is why buying a car sight unseen on the internet is a scarry proposition.
