Replying to: winston03 (May 17, 2007 8:03 am) I think that is a very good price. Congratulations. Did any of you all test drive the 2007 MDX? I did and have mixed emotions. I do belive the MDX gives you more options for the money. Yes, I did, and I totally agree with you. The MDX is a fine vehicle, and you do get a lot for the money. For XC-90, the 3.2L version is underpowered, and the V8, 311HP is more fun to drive. It looks admirable. My comparision: Volvo trumps (V8 AWD, Willow green/Beige leather): 1. Better safety record, steel beams and all 2. (Perceived) better stability and rollover protection 3. The manner in which the 3rd rows folds in 2 layers 4. Split liftgate, provides a bench for sitting 5. More engine power (311HP vs. 300) 6. MDX forces me to buy Ent package for power liftgate though I dont want DVD. MDX trumps (Tech/Ent, Steel blue/taupe leather): 1. More gadgetery on console, it also looks better 2. Rearview camera 3. Standard Xenon lights ($800 on XC-90) 4. SH-AWD 5. Slightly better gas mileage 6. Better record of reliability 7. Set up of the navigation system (screen) 8. Bluetooth connection None of them have a remote starter or rain sensing wipers, 2 of the toys I want. MDX looks a little bigger (spacious) from the inside, and is a little shorter, though with bigger wheels (18"). Gives it a more rugged, stable look, but Volvo is more stylish (except that diagonal on the grille). I ruled out the Volvo earlier because its MSRP was about $4K above that of MDX. Now some sales guy is talking to me about a price of $11K below MSRP (for Volvo). So the sale prices come within $1K of each other. Now I am torn between the 2 cars. I know, it's a difficult decision. Let us know which car you end up buying, and the decision making factor(s). Best wishes, - MS. |

Replying to: jb_shin (May 23, 2007 3:10 pm) Are you suggesting we go out and buy the MDX? May be I'll just do that, been car shopping for almost 4 months now. There are too many choices out there! Regards, - MS.

Replying to: jb_shin (May 23, 2007 3:10 pm) I do not think that your statement is factually correct. There is more in safety than just the IIHS test. You should say - "MDX and XC90 got equal (similar) ratings in IIHS test". That would be factually correct. Otherwise, it is just your opinion, and I beg to differ. Decades of safety leadership for Volvo still counts...

| Not sure if this is the right forum for this question. But I have a 2006 XC90 and I like to find out what would be a reasonable price for an extended warantee with 100K miles. What are the options out there? and what pricing are you seeing. thanks. | |

2007 V8 with no options other than metallic paint. MSRP of $47,595. Invoice $44,777. Price not including TTL: $40,600 or about $40,980 with “doc fee.” I got the sense that I could have worked a bit more and maybe gotten to about $40,500, give or take, including the doc fee. But I didn't want to pay for convenience, touring, climate or wood, and it was very tough to find a V8 without most of these options. I just wanted a stripped down V8 and it was the only one I could find in about a 1,000 mile radius, so I wasn’t too picky on getting that last $500 or so. Plus, it was midnight blue, which was my top choice. |
