Hey folks.

Im a 240 owner....and thinking of purchasing an XC90 for my wife. Wanting to pay cash, we are limiting ourselves to 2004-2005 models. I've found a couple we really like but both are close to 175k miles. They seem to run great, have had all the major maintenance items taken care of through dealerships.

The first 240 I owned was an '85 that, when I sold it, it had 414k miles on her and is still going strong....my "new" one is an '86 with 200k miles.....so I'm not afraid of miles....knowing the reliability.

What do you guys think of getting an XC90 with 175k miles? Am I crazy?

Let me know what you think I'd need to really check out if looking for one.

Thanks!

Chris
