Replying to: ricksv70 (Sep 14, 2007 9:02 pm) Rick, agree with everything you said except about all leather "eventually cracking" . We have had our '01 XC now for 86K miles and several dogs, including an Irish Wolfehound, and the leather looks good with almost zero care. I think Volvo had the world by the you know what when they came out with the XC wagons in the late 90's but they haven't kept up.   Although some would say it is not a direct competitor, take a look at the BMW X3: 5K less than an X5 but faster with more room; compared to the XC it has more zip and is a lot more fun. The Volvo value proposition is getting less and less compelling than it was a decade ago: the cars have stood still and are now quite boring, the dealers are no better, the customer service hasn't been benchmarked against contemporary standards, and there are now many other alternatives. The XC is only a good deal if you can steal one cheap!

#312 of 378 Lease question re 2008 Volvo XC70 by crestonave Nov 19, 2007 (6:59 am)
Looks like Volvo is getting more aggressive in trying to move the 2008 XC70.   They're running an advertisment in the Sunday paper here (Long Island, New York) offering the 2008 XC70 with premium, climate and metallic paint for $399 a month with 3443 cash down and 10,500 mi a year. MSRP for this car is $43575. This includes a complimentary dual screen rear seat dvd entertainment system (which I really don't need or care about).   The car I'd be interested in leasing would add climate, PCC, BLIS, active bi-xenon headlights and Sirius prep. Building this car on the Volvo website shows an MSRP of $45145.   Can anyone tell me what the lease payment and residual should be for "my" car for 24 months?   Thanks, Happy Thanksgiving

Replying to: bombay1 (Dec 23, 2007 11:20 am) I think there is $4-5k in manufacturer to dealer money available. We just put a deposit on a 2007 XC70 with Climate, Convenience, and Premium packages for $33,700 in the mid-Atlantic region.
#316 of 378 My 2008 xc70 in a nutchell plus buying experience by antrow1 Jan 17, 2008 (5:26 am)
Hi All,    I am here searching for issues reported by current 2008 XC70 owners. I see allot of postings about price so I will provide that info.    I leased my 08 XC70 back in October for $520 per month for 30 months with 10K miles per year. It had an MSRP of $45095. I only paid Tax, tags and $500 deposit. This was the best deal I could find in my area. My friend leased one just after me with an MSRP of 42K and some change and he is paying $700.00 per month...OUCH.    I love the car, it is very luxurious and has some cool features like the Personal Car Communicator, and Blind Spot Warning System. The down sides have been poor gas mileage that is usually around 17-18 mpg in mixed driving but mostly highway and a problems with rattles and steering issues.    The rattles for the most part have been toned down by the service departments efforts but are still present to a certain degree. The steering issues have remained unresolved to date after 4 repair attempts. The car makes a popping or clunking sound the subframe is flexed during turning such as leaving a parking lot. I have put in a complaint and hope the car gets replaced under the lemon law.    Currently we are having our first winter storm and instead of driving the in the safety of our AWD Volvo we are commuting in a Prius. Our Volvo remains in a million peices at the dealer with the front end torn apart. I am affraid of what new issues will come up once it is "thrown" back together.    On a better note, my friend has not yet had any issues with his XC70 so it may be that I just got a bad apple. Good luck to those of you getting ready to purchase a new one. You may need it!!!   As far as the sales experience... I shopped all the dealers in my area and had a terrible experience. Most sales poeple knew nothing about the car and two could not tell the difference between an 2007 and an 2008. To make a long story short, most local dealers would not take much of the MSRP (in October 07). Come to find out that at the quarterly sales meetings all the dealers GM's agreed not to discount the cars. This caused a big issue when I told my discounted quote form one dealer to another. PRICE FIXING came to mind....
#317 of 378 2008 XC 70 Purchase Experience, Jan 08 Seattle by bigbuddha Jan 26, 2008 (7:33 pm)
My wife and I live in Seattle area. We just bought a brand new 08 XC70 with Premium, Convenience, Climate, PCC, hands-free bluetooth and booster seats.   Here are some observations from the purchase experience and the car itself: 1. In Seattle area, no one can beat Sandberg Volvo's price. We paid $37,600 for our package pretax (white exterior and beige interior). 2. We tried to find all kinds of discounts: family member who has a Volvo, Costco membership, etc. But we didn't need them in Sandberg. Their price was $1000 lower at least and we were told that they did so by keeping advertising low. 3. Sandberg sold us $3700 worth of additional options (7 year coverage, 3 yr road hazard, chip protection), which was $500 less than the original price. 4. My first choice of dealer, Barrier in Bellevue, offers many niceties (e.g. free webcam enabled carwash facilities) but they couldn't match the price we were offered in Sandberg. Another dealer, University Volvo, promoted a leasing package that is only $33K. But by my rough calculation, the actual cost amounts to a $4K interest payment off a $16K loan over 3 years. 5. No I am not affiliated in any way with Sandberg. But I do buy their "no ads budget" explanation and thought I should help them out here.   We love our XC70, obviously (worth $45,551 to be exact). However, after 1st day of driving, here are something other buyers may want to know: 1. The 235hp engine is high on torque but low on kick. Acceleration comes with pretty noticeable noise that is at least two notches louder on the car radio scale (i.e. you have to tune the radio louder by at least that much to hear the same volume) 2. NOTE THIS: in a stop-and-go situation (e.g. congested highway), you may feel not-infrequent jerking. It is as if the auto transmission doesn't know which gear to engage. This is particularly so if you just let go the brake or tap on the gas slightly.   Hope this helps other buyers.   Enjoy!
