Well I have been looking at the XC90's and was real close to buying a T6 when I read this board and decided to stay away from them. I then drove a couple 3.2L's and they felt ok, but seemed to shift quite a bit at low speeds. Well yesterday I drove the V8 model and WOW.

I was not looking to buy, but just wanted to know if this is what I would like to have when I was ready to buy. The one I looked at was the titanium color with the charcoal interior 2005 model year. It has 80,100 miles on it and they are asking $19,400 at the Volvo dealership.

Without me even acting all that interested they came down to $17,900. Still too high for my budget right now, but I have to admit it made me think. I had a hard time walking away, but I did. If it would have been the birght red color, it would probably be in my driveway.

There are two other ones local, one black with tan and the other silver with not sure what color interior since neither of these were on the lots yesterday cause they were in the shop. Both are much lower mileage and priced around $20K.

 

What's the mistake?

I'm also looking again at the xc90's. I'm set on the 2.5 as I know they are proven plus we're currently driving the 2.5 in the v70. I also started looking into the 3.2 6speed so your thoughts on it was appreciated.
