I came across this page quite randomly, but found the posts interesting enough to want to throw in one of my own. I too have had service issues with Darcars Volvo in Rockville, although mine were with brand new vehicles, back in 2006. Vehicles - plural. The first one was in and out of the shop so many times for the same issue that it reached lemon status and I agreed to take a new, identical car. I figured out, on my own, when the no-start would happen again, since after a couple no-starts, I jokingly said to someone "I don't think it likes my garage!". Yet it wasn't really such a joke.... it didn't! Sounds insane, I know, but what it was apparently doing in my garage was continually trying to automatically lock the doors I left unlocked, eventually (after leaving it parked a couple of days) wearing down the battery. The story goes on... the replacement car DID THE SAME EXACT THING! And it ONLY happened when parked in my garage, since that's the only time I left it unlocked. I TOLD this to Volvo numerous times... they just laughed at me, and at least TWICE told me "You MUST have left a light on!". I was dumb enough to keep leaving lights on?? I don't THINK so guys!! Back in November of '96 I sent an email to Darcars, cc'd to Volvo, telling them I do not appreciate their obvious "Blame the customer first!" approach. Also not too fond of their random replacements of parts in attempt to diagnose and repair.... one day those costs will be on me, and as much as I LOVE my car now, that is still quite scary to me.

I've never in my life heard of a dealership allowing a customer to drive away with a new car without having financing in place.
 
It happens every single day a dealership is open and doing business. Banks are not open as late as dealerships, especially on Saturdays. But dealer want to get people out the door and on the road, so they sell them the cars with contingencies in place. They believe that, based on the person's credit report, etc, that financing will happen the next business day, but it doesn't always happen that way.

To Volvomax: Do you know if the 2009 xc70 will include either the turbo charged 3.0 inline six or the 4C chassis suspension, choices that are available in the S80? I own two new XC90's, which I love and will looking at a new leased company car later in the year. In driving xc70's and xc90's before my recent purchase, I found the XC70 suspension to be floaty compared to the XC90. Many thanks.

A reporter from a national newspaper is looking to speak to consumers who just purchased a new Volvo V70 within the past six months and whether it had anything to do with gas prices. If you’re interested in speaking to the reporter, please contact Chintan Talati at ctalatiedmunds.com with your daytime contact information no later than June 23, 2008.

V70 Service Loaner Price by awd_driver

Hi All,
 
Looking at a 2008 V70, premium and climate pkgs, 7K miles. It is a service loaner, never titled, and comes with the remainder of the factory waranty.
 
Looking at a price of 29000 and change. Seems like a great deal, but what do you all think?
 
(It is a replacement for my wife's 98 V70 which was totalled last year, which is why we're getting another one. It was a very, very safe car.)
 
Thanks

Thinking of purchasing a 2008 v70 this weekend. Negotiated $30,800 for a model with metallic paint, climate package, premium package and roof rails. It looks like this is about $4000 under invoice. What do you guys think? Is this a good family car??
