Replying to: HokieMom (Jan 31, 2009 5:30 pm) You can look underneath for the rear differential. Or you can drive into some loose dirt/snow/whatever. Come to a stop. Stick your head out the window to watch the rear wheels, and lay into the gas.

Replying to: propellersara (Dec 18, 2006 6:49 pm) My wife primarily drives a 2004 XC90 which we bought new. It's a T5 model. We've felt the turbo five has been more than adequate and gets 20+mpg on the highway driving 70-75 regularly, much better than the V8. The vehicle has almost 160K miles on it and has been very reliable throughout. We're very pleased overall--it continues to drive as new and remains very solid without squeaks and rattles--better than any domestic SUV we've owned previously. We expect to go 250K or more before it's retired and hope to replace it with another XC when we do.
#74 of 97 Looking to purchase an SUV by polar_bear Feb 11, 2009 (11:53 am)
I am looking at buying a volvo SUV. I know this is the volvo section of the forum thats why I wanted to post. Again forgive me if my answers are already on the forum This are my minimum specs.   Now I am looking at the Volvo or the Honda Pilot.   Are there any other SUVs comparable to the XC90 ?   this is what I am looking for in the XC90   1. Has to be XC90 2.5T model, possibly the prem & climate package. 2. Has to have 3rd row seating (ie 7 passenger) 3. This will be a USED vehicle no neet for it to be new. 4. Not more than 3yrs old   Is there anything else that I should be looking at or considering when purchasing this vehicle.   I live in Canada but I'd be buying this car in the US because it will be cheaper. I know I have to go thru all the Canadian safety /specs. That's not an issue for me.   Obviously nobody wants to buy a lemon.   Any suggestions /help is very much appreciated. Thanks Replies to this message: qbrozen (Feb 11, 2009 11:58 am)

Replying to: polar_bear (Feb 11, 2009 11:53 am) If you drive the Pilot and XC90 back-to-back, like I did, you'll probably also find that the Pilot just doesn't compare.   If you buy from a non-volvo dealer, i strongly suggest you have a volvo specialist check out the vehicle prior to purchase. There are couple of problematic areas, namely the wheel bearings and angle gear seal.

Replying to: pistopl1 (Feb 22, 2009 6:43 pm) $16k OTD? Soo... that's puts the purchase price where? $14k? Sounds like quite a good deal. Replies to this message: pistopl1 (Feb 23, 2009 3:24 pm)

Replying to: qbrozen (Feb 23, 2009 10:46 am) actually now that I think about it, it was about 16700 with the tax. We got them to waive their processing fee. But we did have to but new tires on right away and get the 42.5K check up
#79 of 97 07 Vs. 08 xc90, pros of going with the 08? by crowes45 Mar 06, 2009 (9:57 am)
In the market for a CPO xc90, either 07 or 08.   For identically equipped xc's I'm seeing a typical increase of $4500 on the 08's. Mileage on both are average for their years. What am I missing? The way I see it, essentially you're paying an extra $4500 for an extra year of warranty coverage. Replies to this message: qbrozen (Mar 06, 2009 10:07 am)
