The engine was replaced recently with a used V8 with 53,000 miles. It was not replaced at 20,000 miles with a new engine. I believe it was replaced because of an oil leak that drained the engine & blew it. I wouldn't consider buying it were it not for the fact that the engine was replaced by a friend who works at the dealership. He knows Volvo's well and I trust his judgment. It's also got roughly 30,000miles left on the warranty, which bring some peace of mind.
 
I'm more concerned about the overall selling price & the relatively high miles. Considering the replaced engine, reselling it would be difficult. I've seen similarly equipped V8's in my area for over $20k, but most have fewer miles and, of course, original engine.
 
Thanks.

Ah, well, it is good that you know all of that. As you said, it helps YOUR peace of mind. I would make sure I get solid documentation on all of that and never lose it.
 
Would prefer they had replaced with a new engine, however.
 
As far as value ... well, I don't know if volvomax watches this thread, so try asking on the Real-World Trade-in Values thread.

Found a 2005 xc90 v8 AWD rear entertainment, Navigation, basically all options even running boards. Metalic Silver 31,000 miles. Is 20,000 a good price? New tires and brakes too.

Wow. Low miles.
 
If CPO, that's a great price.
 
If not, its a fair price for both parties. Just make sure it has no accident history.
