It seems there's many of us searching for V8 XC90's. Let's collectively use this thread to post finds, advice, and information we find on V8's that are available for sale. This should help to consolidate findings including warnings about shady dealers or vehicles history, exceptional deals, or anything else of value to other buyers. Also, if a member has one for sale that they'd like to call attention to, we can use this thread for that purpose, as well.
Hopefully people find this useful.
Just to start it, here's a warning about 06-07 (and potentially early-08) V8's regarding the transmission valve body:

Just have the seller verify the transmission serial number for you. Needs to be above 06J, unless there are records proving the valve body or transmission replacement has been done.
