I expect my xc90 t6 to arrive late sept - early oct. We are excited and hope all the problems folks have been writing about don't occur on mine.
 
I also ordered the silver inlay so I should be able to comment on that as well.

Does anyone hear this news "Volvo will have price increases across the board for all 2004 models"?
 
My volvo agent called me this past weekend told me this news and in order to honor my deal, I have to sign a fixed price agreement which saying I have to pay the msrp, no negotiation. I have recently ordered XC90 T5
 
Thanks

Hmmmm...I don't know. I think now that the factory is going again I suspect supply and demand are starting to equal out. Volvo just released a small number of XC90s for discount under the Overseas Delivery program. That of course doesn't preclude the possibility of a price hike of course (and the only mention I've seen so far has been a 2% hike for 2005 XC90s so far.)
 
Contact me offline and I'll point you to some places that might be able to provide some more insight.
 
Thanks.

I have been hearing there was going to be a price increase. I have been checking the Volvocars.com web site and as of 9/1 the prices HAVE gone up. You can get the full details by building your car w/ the options that you want. I priced the T6 and the base MSRP was $40565 prior to 9/1 and it is now $40965.
 
Price increases were to happen on everything with the exception of the XC70. (I've only looked into the XC90 though.)

Buying an XC-90 by zelda3

We are located in Raleigh, NC, and are trying to buy an 2004 XC-90. We have been informed at the local dealership that they are not negotiating off the MSRP and that we will probably going to have to order what we want (to deliver in late November). I have several concerns, the first being that the prices seem to be going up very rapidly. We are looking at around $45k for an AWD 2.5T vs $47k for a T6 (both loaded.) These prices seem to be much more than those posted by other purchasers on the message boards. Has anyone had luck getting a dealer to take less than sticker and, if so, can you recommend a dealership? Also, can anyone give us concrete advice on which engine is truly the better choice? We are weighing gas mileage vs. performance and are reading and hearing mixed reviews. Finally, are there any long-term Volvo owners that can comment on depreciation, resale, reliability, and maintenance costs? We have driven Acura and Toyota products for many years and wonder if we're in for a good or bad experience as compared to the Japanese makes.

Zelda,
 
The price increase affects the 2004 models and should be considered THE price by now. We ordered our XC90 on February 1, 2003 and were told then that our order was going to be processed in the middle of the model 03' and 04'. The sales rep told us that we could end up with an 04' and he would let us know for sure in a month or so. He also stated that if it was an 04' that the price would go up by approx. $500 dollars, but Volvo would be offering free scheduled maintenance for the first three years, I believe (I will need to verify that from my records). By late March-early April he contacted us and confirmed the 04' model and the price increase. We received July 3, 2003.
Our vehicle configuration and price is as follows:
Black 04' XC90 2.5T AWD
Premium package
Climate package
Dolby surround stereo
subwoofer
17" Neptune wheels (standard on 04' with premium pckg)
Total pre-tax was $41,095 (from memory-could be off a few dollars)
Dealer would not consider negotiating below sticker due to popularity of the vehicle and waiting list of orders, but this was early in the year. Once the hype dies down, you may find a dealer willing to negotiate on dealer stock.
 
We have been pleased with the performance and capabilities of the 2.5T. 4 adults, luggage and 2 sets of golf clubs on trip to Destin, FL from Louisville, KY was great. Engine performed great with the weight on all grades on the highways. Passing ability was not a concern.
Gas mileage was 23 mpg.
Thus far we have 4400 miles on it and couldn't be happier.
 
Good luck on whatever you decide to purchase.

2.5T AWD by matwags

I put down my deposit today on a 2.5T AWD w/ versatility, climate, premium, xenons, and premium audio. Deal was for $500 below MSRP and added winter mats and additional child booster for free. No haggling. Delivery date 11/18/03. The price has increased from last year, but this now includes 17 inch wheels and free service for 3 years or 30K miles. So it evens out.
 
I have looked at every mid sized SUV out there and I kept coming back to the Volvo. The safety features and the ride won me over. There are no seven seaters with this great a ride. The car is more expensive than some of the competition, but in the end I had to go with what appears to be the safest SUV on the planet.
 
Thanks to all who posted messages. I will keep you updated.

X-Plan by simbp215

Not sure if everyone is aware but Volvo recently put the XC-90 on the ford X-Plan. So far X-Plan prices beat all of the deals people have posted. The only hurdle is working for a company that offers the X-Plan (or knowing someone who does).
As an example a T6 with the prmium package, climate package, versatility package, wood steering wheel and a leather gear shifter would MSRP for $45,170 but you could get it under the X-Plan for $43,055 with no negotiating.
Here are all the current X-Plan prices:
 
XC90 PRICES: MSRP X Plan Price
Base Car
XC90 2.5T $34,440 $33,058
XC90 T6 Automatic $40,565 $38,930
Destination Charge $685 $685
 
Packages
Premium Package T6 AWD $1,300 $1,141
Premium Package 2.5T $3,825 $3,354
Climate Package $595 $522
Versatility Package $1,675 $1,469
Security Package $675 $592
 
Stand Alone Options
Metallic paint $450 $395
All Wheel Drive $1,750 $1,535
Center Booster Cushion $150 $132
Rear Audio Head Phone $100 $88
Navigational System $1,895 $1,662
Premium Sound System $750 $658
Cargo Net $300 $264
Subwoofer $300 $264
Reverse Warning System $400 $351
Bi-xenon Headlamps $500 $439
Wood Steering Wheels $300 $264
Leather Gear Shift Knob $50 $44
Aluminum 18" Alloy Wheels $750 $658
