Hi there...

I am thinking of buying an XC90 and have found a good vehicle, however not being a mechanic i have a couple of questions -

2005 XC90 T6 62000miles

This is the list of things that was done by the dealer.

"We performed the used car check, Certified pre-owned check up, and 60,000 mile service.
We replaced the upper tourque bushing on the engine.... the fuel door hinge,...oil & filter change,... replaced cabin air filter,... replaced spark plugs,...Mount & balance four new tires,... Both rear hub & bearings,...
PA state & emmisions inspections,...replaced front brake pads & rotors,... performed 4 wheel alignment,...replaced evaporator seals and recharged Air conditioning system,...replaced rear wiper blade."


Should i be concerned that the torque bushing on the engine has been replaced.?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Just read a little on here or other sites about the T6 and I guarantee you will not want to buy it.

I was going to buy one in the DC area and called the dealer in Alexandria about getting it in for a pre-purchase inspection since I was traveling from Ohio. As soon as I told the Service Manager it was a T6 with 70K on it he said don't buy it. The transmission will not see 80K miles and it's about $6K to fix it.

 

I owned a 2004 T6. I loved that car. All my miles were highway miles. It was just over 100K when the message light came on stating “TRANSMISSION SERVICE URGENT”. Needless to say I was very concerned. I called three Volvo dealerships and all refused to service my car that day. I thought URGENT meant Urgent. When the transmission was inspected the mechanic told me I needed a replacement as the dealer does not repair transmissions. The cost of repair was a little over $5000.00. The warranty was to be 12 months or 12,000 miles. I was told by the mechanic that this transmission was junk and the reason it lasted so long for me was the highway driving. I traded that car for a V8 and I am very happy with this car. Best of luck on your search.

 

Have a 94 with only 95k on it and it has been a piece of junk! Will never recommend a Volvo again: bad motor mounts, bad trany, bad sun roof drainage, bad electrical, bad gas mileage, bad dealers, = bad car - STAY AWAY!

 

I own an 08 XC-90 v8. I have owned it for only a month, but the car is great. I heard that the t6 does have alot of problems, but heard the opposite about the v8 tranny. Go with the v8. Plus, it sounds sexy when you turn the car on, the v8 sounds exotic!

 

Brother Dont buy
2005 xc 90 has history of Tranny problem , I replaced mine at 73450 miles while I started noticing Transmission problem at 47 plus miles, but I recorded with dealership at 49964 miles.Still fighting in the court to claim the money which volvo denied to pay. I checked with other 4-5 volvo owners of the same year model they all has replaced Transmission.
