We've had ours for 19 months and it has made a few noises but not enough to take it in. I mentioned it once while it was in for service but they couldn't make it out. I've had it in for service about 3 times, each one minor and was given a loaner. My wife REALLY likes the security of it - we've been hit twice (once in front, once in back) and it was incredibly solid each time. I'm sure other cars are just as safe but she now has that in her mind, especially now that we have a 6 mo. old baby. I'm turning in our Lease in Oct. and the 4Runner was at the top of my list - practical and reliable but without the luxury price. I told her $25k was her budget and I'm a bit worried about Volvo reliability if I pick up one that's a few years old.

Replying to: boardmas (May 06, 2008 7:11 pm) The Michelin 4x4 Synchrone tires (never been rotated), size 235/65-17, have no unusual wear, but appear to have about 5 mm of tread left in front and 7 mm in rear. (I just used a mm ruler.) I inflate them to 40 psi cold (tire sidewall states 51 psi max infl pressure). We may have them swapped front-to-rear, same-side, because we don't get them rotated frequently enough to prevent a set due to long term unchanging rotation direction. We get about 15 mpg straight city and maximum of 24-25 mpg highway when driven carefully for fuel economy on level interstate highway at 65-75 mph, hand calculated from pump volumes and trip odometer readings. Repeated comparisons of the computer results show that the computer gives an mpg which is 4.0 % higher than that calculated from the fuel pump volume readings. The new EPA estimates for the XC90 3.2 fuel use are about the same as the Acura MDX, BMW X5, and other similiar vehicles. We find the XC90 very comfortable on trips with our 3 dogs. The only deficiency was that the CD player didn't work and the dealer replaced it, I think upgrading to the multi disc player at no charge to us because the first new (single disc) player also didn't work for them in the shop. We never use the CD player. So far in 2008 we have travelled 2118 mi on 118.8 gal giving 17.8 mpg with no long highway trips. Every couple of weeks we take a local highway trip of about 150 miles.

Has anyone had any experience with dealer service loaners? I made an offer on an 08 XC90 3.2, AWD w/ versatility, premium & climate packages that included the remainder of the Factory Warranty (about 40 months) and 3 years factory scheduled maintenance. It has 6700 miles on it. I offered $31,000 - they were asking $32,900 (down from 36,900 two weeks ago). They are getting back to me tomorrow, but I want to be certain no one has run into any problems with service loaners. Oh, I offered on one that was gray/off black. They have two more in willow green/sandstone (both have about 7000 miles). Does the sandstone hold up to a little dirt pretty well? I kind of prefer a beige interior - it doesn't seem to soak up the summer heat as much. |

I emailed several dealers in my area (central jersey) for a 08 XC90 w/ premium, versatility, and climate packages (MSRP of $45,200) and got the best 1st quote from Bridgewater Volvo and Volvo of Edison. They gave me a price of 35,000 which included the volvo loyalty and manufactor rebates. How much more do you think I can shave off from this price? I know the 2009's are coming in very soon so i think i can take off a bit more. I plan to buy by the end of this month. Thanks Btw, does anyone know about any changes the 09's are going to have in terms of pricing and equipment? |

Does anyone know when 09 will be available? I'd like to wait to get a better deal if wait time is about a month.

Can someone comment on this deal? Any feedback is greatly appreciated! 2005 XC90, V8 AWD, Nav, DVD, 36k miles, $28,127 (not including $300 tax). I talked them down from 32,900 which was clearly inflated. Wondering if I can get them down a little more. Any thoughts? Thanks! w
