Cheers in advance

The T6 hates hot climates, its a POS unreliable thing here in Aus as compared to a t5... but the ones I see living in canukistan have near zero issues by comparison
common T6 **** I see include
Timing chain failure = new block
accessories drive chain failure = new block
accessories drive bearing failure = new block
Alt mini timing belt failure = many hours to replace (parts otherwise cheap)
PCV issues like every Volvo ever
>1 quart per 1000 miles oil consumption = replace head
AC compressor failures == PITA
front suspension bits like every volvo ever
engine mounts like every volvo ever

In my search I found 2 owners that wanted up to 4k over the real market rate. There's you first problem..
The other issues can be fixed by maintenance.
Dont know about timing chain, what's the service time?
Oil consumption isn't a problem to me, use best quality oil and top it up.
The T6 motor is epic. Polestar tune, or BSR, will too.

Cheers guys
there's one in Perth ATM at $10K with 160K price is about right for Perth so thinking options or fork out $20+ for a AWD 2012 D5

Probly high side for that D5.
Get one over here, ship it.
Jacob has a v70t6 over your way, Polestar etc etc.

Nice car but not for me

Berry's may still have a very nice Ocean Race XC70d5 that will be cheaper incl transport west. Give em a call.
