Hi Guys, looking at a 56 plate XC90 D5 SE at a volvo main stealer up for £15,995.

We've had a quick look around and its has a couple of minor marks which i can live with, but want to make sure I get it for a decent price. Anyone know if these are shifting at dealers or is it a buyers market?

Need to check out the AWD gear has been sorted, but has full dealer history on 55k so hoping it should be sorted.

Anything else I can haggle on? I need a towbar fitted so aiming to get this done as part of the price. Will unleash the missus on the salesman soon and then his problems will really start.

Any idea of target price I should be aiming for? Have a cheap (circa £1k) px to add in.

Unbelievable they were 20k for an active version just over 18 months ago!

Make sure it doesnt run rough or vibrate at around 2.5k rpm (sign of injectors) - its more obvious on cruise for some reason as you try and accelerate.
