Replying to: marinite (Sep 06, 2008 12:24 am) No one was willing to do the 39mth/39k lease for $1950 down and $555/mth. At 36 months/36k lease was coming out at $3800 and $555 / mth for the 2008 XC90 V8 w/ climate and blis. Dealer supposedly losing $500 with those numbers but willing to do the deal to move the car. So after negotiating this is what we got: 2008 XC90 V8 with climate / blis / rear ent. system (at dealer cost - $1547) / cross rails ($175) for 48 months - $3600 down (includes all costs & first payment) and $559/month. Residual is around $14,000 (35%). Cost of the car was $37,050 (w/ taxes etc). MSRP is $52k. Not a great deal but in the end I'm ok with it. I was willing to leave and go to another dealer but my wife - who is 5 mths pregnant was just like "oh let's take it." I was like "you're killing me here." In retrospect I should have gotten the cost of the car down to $35k. Damn it. What kills is that there is no residual on the rear ent. system. So basically, I am going to remove the head rests when I turn it in 4 years because they will be mine. Or I'll just buy the car. Also re: minivan - friends just bought a 2008 Odyssey Touring (all bells & whistles). I drove that and definitely didn't like the way it handled. If anyone is in NJ, I found out after had leaseed from a different Volvo dealer that Montclair Volvo is going out of business and that they are having a fire sale. So go there first. Cheers. |

Congrats jk on your purchase - it is one of the safest on the market and with a baby on the way, it's a good choice safety-wise and ergonomically speaking, too. I have a Volvo sedan and Subaru Outback and they're both too low to get the babies in the car without killing my back. With the XC90, putting the baby in the car will be a lateral move - sounds silly but try doing this several times a day and you'll appreciate that about the car! Yep, I suspected that about the Highlander. Plus, I can't recall what the iihs safety ratings on it were but I do know that while the Sienna says it's top-rated, what they don't say is that is has the worst rear crash rating! Wouldn't be surprised if Highlander did too. And yes, all minivans tend to drive like that - land yachts really - another ugh factor. Thanks for sharing your numbers and mf, too. That's a decent deal for a $52k car! Enjoy  Marinite

Replying to: marinite (Sep 06, 2008 11:53 pm) funny ... we returned our '05 outback for the xc90. similar taste in cars i suppose. definitely agree that it is tough to get a kid in and out of that car. good luck w/ your choice. our 2 year old is obsessed w/ the volvo. when we drove to grandma's she ran out and was like "my car!" she calls it a bus b/c of the rear 2 seats. can't seem to get her out of it - esp. when the middle seat is down and she can roam from front to back (when parked of course). must be the new car smell or leather seats ...

Replying to: jk764 (Sep 07, 2008 1:38 pm) Love that the 2y.o. is obsessed. Mine are 2 too and would likely do the same - especially if we got the dvd! ? for you since I haven't looked at the xc90 for a few months in person... when the middle seat goes down, is it to the floor? That was my biggest complaint about the 3rd row - with 2 giant Britax carseats in the middle, there's no utilizing the 3rd row w/out removing a carseat - so not functional. Maybe I'm wrong? Cheers!

Replying to: marinite (Sep 10, 2008 2:19 am) If you are looking to use the 3rd row a lot for passengers, minivan is probably best bet as it is at least 10 inches longer than the xc90 and easy to access even if you have 2 car seats in the middle row. good luck.
