Hoofhearted
Hey all,
just wondering if anyone has any advice or information on the xc60, as I'm interested in buying a second hand one for $15-20,000 preferably low kms 2009 onwards models, ( 5cyl diesel preferred)
Is it true the xc60 is known for transmission failures? If so, at how many kms or what year models?
Any information or advice would be much appreciated. ???
Cheers!

The XC60 is an awesome vehicle. I have just bought my 19th in total as I buy accident damaged cars and repair them. I also purchased one brand new in 2010 which I sold 18 months ago. The D5's all have the 6 speed box and don't have issues when the trans is flushed but not many dealer serviced cars would have had that happen. They only came here in 2009 but I'd suggest as a minimum getting a 2010 model as the 09 was a single turbo and 2010 the start of the twin turbos. In 2011 the fuel economy lowered and power figures increased again and 2012 on has a different engine but with same economy through to the 2016 models where economy was further improved.
I doubt you'll get much newer than a 2011 for the money you want to spend but the later the better. The early cars had sat nav as an option and 2011 cars can also only have a 5" screen where 2012 onwards have more standard included features.
