First time purchase tips: 2010 XC90

Post by SonicAdventure »

Hi after nearly 10 years of driving P80 wagons, I’ve been offered a chance to purchase a 2010 XC90. It has 150k miles, and is fully equipped, I believe the highest trim line. I am waiting to get the VIN, but in general, I know it has been well-maintained by a Volvo mechanic and owned by responsible mature adults, garage-kept, etc. It looks really nice in pictures.

In general, were 2010 models reliable and if not, what are some problems to watch out for? What are some known issues they could have? Thanks.

Nothing of any significance to this model year that I'm personally aware of.

The CarFax states “3.2L I6 F DOHC 24V All Wheel Drive” - does this mean it’s a turbo or are all of these turbo?

It's a naturally aspirated engine. The 3.0 I6 was given the turbo treatment.
