Replying to: maxxharley (Jun 28, 2005 9:05 pm) here;s the scoop on the AAA $500 rebate...last night, on the off chance the rebate was ongoing, i spent $10 to purchase a 2 month membership with AAA 'cause we planned on buying a car today in atlanta. As luck would have it, we bought an xc-90 today and i asked the salesman about AAA and some rebate. He immediately pulled out a "Volvo Check Request Form" entitled "AAA-South" which requires a sales agreement and this form be mailed into Volvo at Dearborn, MI for the rebate...The only requirement is that you be a active member of AAA for at least six months...so, i will expand my 2 month membership tonite for a year (about $60) and get $500 bucks from vovlo...not too shabby!!! |

Replying to: maxxharley (Jun 30, 2005 8:46 pm) maxxharley - you may want to confirm that you qualify as the 60 day deadline does not line up with the 6 month membership requirement. It was my understanding that you had to have been an active AAA member for 6 months prior to getting the rebate. Probably in an effort to block people from doing what you are attempting. I hope it works out for you...Good luck. |

 I was quoted this price from a Chicago area dealer XC90 2.5 T AWD, Silver Metallic, Premium Package, Versatility, Climate, Park Assist Quoted Price: $40,000 (around 1500 below invoice) Sounds good?

Replying to: justjac (Jun 30, 2005 7:09 pm) In favor of the MDX: 1. Roomier interior and more accessible third row. forget what the passenger volume stats say about the MDX and XC90 being similar in size (90+/- c.f.). The MDX is about 2" wider and has more room in both the second and third rows. 2. Bluetooth phone, XM radio, better navigation system, better RES system. I bunch all these together as features that, individually, are not dela makers or breakers, but taken in total became a bit of a factor. 3. Low risk reliability / high quality. We have owned a few Honda/Acura products in the past, most recently a 2002 S2000 and 2004 TL 6-speed. They have all been bullet proof. The only thing I was slightly concerned about with the MDX was the automatic transmission, but the unit was redesigned for 2005. 4. Fuel economy, insurance costs, long term mainetenance costs: All would appear to be lower on the MDX, even factoring in the free "routine" maintenance (i.e. glorified oil changes) on the XC90. In favor of the XC90: 1. Interior: Best seats in the business, other than the Cayennes sport seats. Nice looking, clean interior with high quality materials. 2. Exterior style: Both are reasonably attractive, neither is as sexy as the 911 I am contemplating, but the Volvo is a little better looking in my opinion. 3. V8 performance: Liked the power of the V8 engine; however, I did notice a lot of shifting of the 6-speed automatic as it searched for gears. The MDX is noticably quicker than the XC90 2.5, but the V8 is quicker than the MDX. 4. Safety features / handling: Again, both are very good, but Volvo gets the nod on safety features and their stability control system. However, in coming out of an Isuzu Trooper, the MDX was an enormous jump up and we don't plan on racing the MDX through mountain roads. We now have 7,000 trouble free miles on the MDX and are pleased with our decision. But the XC90 V8 is a heck of anice vehicle, especially at the near invoice prices that are now available. |
