Default which XC90 to get??

I'm having a minor dilemma here.
I am purchasing a XC90 T6..both are 2004's
One
55,500 Miles with no warranty
the other
76,000 Miles with a 100,000 Miles Volvo Certified Warranty.
Of course there is a price difference..but my main concern is resale.
We plan to keep this vehicle for about 3-4 months then sell it..is it going to be easier or harder to sell the higher mileage even though it has a warranty. I need to make up my mind before tomorrow. I need help !!

I'd go for the lower mileage XC90.. you can always purchase a warranty.

Not sure why someone would buy something like the XC90 just to sell in 3-4 months. I would have to consider the sales tax and title fees which are not recovered when re-sold. I would tend to look for something a bit less expensive to lower those cost or look into some kind of short term lease..... Just my .02....

Stay away from the T6. Too many problems with the GM transmission and turbo.

if you are going to keep it for 3-4 months then I would go for the one with the warranty. Seeing as it is the T6 it will be easier to re sell with a warranty. I would love it if mine had a warranty still, it would be helping me out a lot right now.

why would you even bother with the hassle of this to only keep it for 3-4 months??

Buying a vehicle only to turn around and sell in in 3-4 months, it will be tough to sell it and make back the money you spend on acquiring the vehice. Vehicles always depreciate in value, to me the cost of buying a vehicle includes taxes, registration, insurance, not to mention my time. Also keep in mind 3-4 months from now will be summer when gas prices will be higher and suv sales will be worst than they are now.

Have you considered just renting a car.
