XC60 diesel useful for caravan towing?
Asked by Brian Harvey
I am considering purchasing a 2010 Volvo XC60 diesel. I am about to retire and was looking for a vehicle that would serve long term with some small caravan towing. Are parts very expensive compared to other similar vehicles?
Answered by CarsGuide
22 Jul 2016Our information is that the 2010 XC60 diesel is a solid and reliable car, but you should consider the wisdom of buying a diesel. If you're regularly driving reasonable distances on the highway a diesel can be a good way to go, but if you're mainly driving short distances locally then it would probably not be a good purchase. As for the cost of parts the Volvo is comparable with other rival makes and models. The best course of action should you buy one is to pal up with an independent mechanic with Volvo experience. Volvo specialists have the diagnostic tools needed, and are usually able to buy parts at a more affordable price. Often they will be factory parts imported from places like America, and landed here at a much lower price than you be charged by a dealer.
