Help me decide...

Hi All,

Looking for a little direction. I sold a 2016 V60 T5 about a year ago and regret it. We live in NYC and I didn't think we needed a car, but... Except for concern about oil consumption (which I did not experience with my car), I would buy the 5 cylinder again in a heartbeat. I had a bunch of BMWs before the Volvo and genuinely preferred it. Parents bought at my suggestion at 2018 S80/90 T5 and it is +100K miles and has been very reliable.

Thinking about my next used car, I am hoping not to spend more than $15K. My though is a '15 or '16 T6 XC60 that has been well maintained, sub 100K miles. That said, we are looking at a 10 year old car... I am also seeing 2019/20 S60 T6 in the $18K range and more T6 than T5s in that price range. Def don't need the T6, but want it!

We will drive the car about 5K miles per year, a couple of times a month, mostly highway. Sadly, wagons are OUT so really only looking for S60s or XC60, not interested in XC40.

Finally, am I correct that 5 Cylinder T5s with VINs greater than 1501327 are OK? I get very confused about this...

Thoughts? I appreciate the advice in advance.
