Would you purchase a buyback XC90?

I'm looking to buy a 2016 XC90. Found one that priced a good bit lower than similarly equipped ones, but it has a branded title because it was a manufacturer buyback. The reason given on the CarFax report is "Center information screen is inoperative." (I can see the screen is working now.)

The dealer selling it says, "This vehicle was a manufacturer buyback because of software related problems. The vehicles run off the software and all software has been updated to fix said problems. Volvo has given this vehicle lifetime software updates due to this buyback."

Would you consider buying such a vehicle?

    I wouldn't. How bad does a problem have to be, before Volvo will buy it back?
    And, now, the car is permanently branded as a lemon.

    I'd say you would need to be at least 40% off MSRP on a 2016 model, to even consider it. (I'm betting that's a lot lower than their asking price.
