looking at purchasing a used 2013 Volvo XC 60 3.2 AWD

engine 3.2 L 6 cylinder 6 speed automatic

any pitfalls ? trying to stay away from the turbo's or maybe not?

any help would be appreciated

thx in advance

I have the 3.2 6 in my 09 V70. I think it is a really sweet engine. Smooth, quiet, and it will get up and walk when you need it to. The six speed I'm not so sure about, but with two wheel drive I can get close to 30 mpg if the road is not too fast. Much over 60 it starts to get thirstier, but it is a huge, heavy car.
It is probably easier to work on than the turbo engine, although there are some jobs I am not looking forward to.

I would be inclined to go turbo, that v6 is stuffed in there, service will cost. Just my couple of cents worth.

The 6 cylinder is not a V.

Keeping it running is better than buying new

Both of the engine choices are good. The T6 is very fast. The 3.2 is easier to work on.

I would hope that what you are looking at is CPO, for extended coverage. The 2013 is only 3 years old, so there should be another year of free maintenance. Ask for a printout of the maintenance history as well as a Carfax. If the car was not originally purchased here, have them contact the original dealer to get the history.

If you like to hurry, get a turbo. We test drove a '12 XC60, and it always wanted to go, go, go.

My wife and I like the engine braking that the NA 3.2 has in our '12 XC70.
