Just avoid the Sebastian vettel special edition.

Not sure I'd be game leaving that in a carpark, unguarded....

Bad things may happen

Terry, last year sold an XC60 D5 with Polestar upgrade, 65,000 km in 3 years from new. Not one thing needed rectification and not slow, 800km from tank. Would buy another

Thanks Serge, I noticed that Polestar level in the Sunday Telegraph Cars Guide editorial.

One concern that's come up on the horizon is the Volvo XC60 head gasket.

Terry have you considered the Mazda CX9? You could pick a 2011-2012 with 40-60k kms for around $40k. My dad has had one since 2010 its done 130k havent had any issues with it yet.

my vote: cx-9 or x6

[GTR-N1]

Thanks guys. Currently considering X5, X3 or XC60 T6 unless the lady changes her mind. Nearly got Unigroup to inspect a XC60 T6 today but their euro mechanic is on a 5 day long weekend. Don't think Yavuz is happy.

I do really appreciate your input guys about something that you might only have the faintest interest.

We, 'er she decided with her brains trust to go for something safe, fast, comfortable, luxurious, agile and not too conspicuous.

Now we need to sell her other one.

0-100 in 7 sec. 6.5 if I opt for Volvo to alter the adjustable ECU and then "Polestar" tune it (without loss of warranty).

Corners much better than I expected

Heaps of safety features + 4 yr Volvo warranty

We nearly chose a red one at Carlins Brokers at Girraween.

I noticed in the Girraween model, the first owner's name...

> Gave him a call a week ago

> After leaving a message, I called him again about his MY10 model with just 43,500Km on it

> I hate leaving messages - and it's worse the 2nd time around

> It's a bit like a 'rejection' thing

> Tonight, he gave me a call back. He'd been to Europe with his wife and had just got home

> He asked me if we'd bought his former XC60 T6

> I said it was a close decision since both his and our new one came from the same dealership (Purnell)

> He proceeded to tell me that he'd not had one ounce of trouble, always serviced at Purnell Motors and had bought every option imaginable

* tow bar - unused

* courtesy lights

* roof racks

* top of the line sound system (same as our newer one)

* panoramic sun roof

* netting

So if you're after a luxury SUV that goes!!!...

I've already bargained it down to $37,250 (half new price).

Sorry for sounding like a car salesman lol

Very, very nice.

I reckon Volvo are kicking goals right across their range at the moment.

What car did this replace?

[GTR-N1]

Her 530i in the background Aaron.

We've recently celebrated her being 5yrs clear of cancer, so...

Thank you for commenting on a car that's been outside the square since the 80s.
