I am in the market for a new volvo. Have owned a '92 745T and now own a '98 v70 AWD. Happy with both, but am now in the market for a new one. I was looking at another v70 or xc70 (2003-2005 model years), bu a 2004 xc90 with 55K miles is available in my area for what seems like a good price of $16,900 from a private party. It is a 5-cylinder model, seating for 7. I have never considered one of these, but they do look nice. Any thoughts? Trouble spots? (The owners just had the gearbox or something to do with the awd system replaced by the dealer in anticipation of selling it)Things to consider? Will I still be able to do my own brakes, etc?

The mileage we get on our '98 v70 awd is less than spectacular: 17-22 in general. I don't imagine a 2.5L turbo XC90 would do too much worse.
