Afternoon all,
I'm after a bit of guidance, as the title says I'm off tomorrow to look at a T6 XC90, seems a good offer, 80,000 miles on the clock, executive version (not sure what that gets)...
So what should I lookout for, what questions should I ask? What are they like to live with?
Also thinking of converting it to LPG (should I buy it...) anyone with any experience of this?
Thanks
Ru

You do know about the gearbox on these, don't you?
Have a look on the volvo owners forum..or google "Volvo XC90 T6 gearbox failure"


We have been lucky so far with ours, but tbh I can't help feeling it is just a matter of time.

Despite being "sealed for life" fluid changes help massively with gearbox life

Check the dipstick (new the oil is cherry red)
