Is This A Good Deal?
I've the option to buy a 2004 XC90 2.5T with 43K miles on it. 3rd row seat, plus rear DVD entertainment system for 21K. Vehicle is extremely clean and all service has been done, plus factory warranty remains until 6/08. I'm very serious about it - thinking of purchasing this weekend - what does everyone think? BTW - new to the forum and new to Volvo auto, but Volvo XC90 is definitely my next vehicle.[/align]

Well it's right in the middle between trade in and clean retail value. So, no I wouldn't say it is too good to be true. Call the owner and have them give you the numbers of several mechanics. If it looks good and checks out and you are comfortable with the price then I would think it would be fine.

I personally would avoid any XC90 that is equipped with GM-built transmission. The V8 model comes with Yamaha-built transmission that does not fail as the GM unit does.
If you don't know any trusted mechanic, try locating a shop that specialises in Swedish/European makes, and make sure that the technicians at the shop are all fully-certified ASE Master Technicians. I would avoid average town shops or any of the franchise shops.

.Topshotta,
2.5T would not be such a nightmare as the one with GM-tranny so it may be a good deal.
