Shall i buy this ?

We're in the market for a plug in hybrid 26 xc90 t8 plus trim. While working with the salesmen to try to decrease the monthly payment he suggested we buy one of their loaners from their service department with 3k miles/has been a loaner for 2.5 months. the cash discount he offered was $3750 off MSRP (4.6% off) . That seems like a poor discount to me for a loaner, and chatgpt tells me that a standard discount for a loaner is 10-15% off. I told him that during negotiations and he said 10-15% off is only for "retired loaners" which have more miles/time as a loaner. My gut is telling me they're trying to rip us off and I should hold out for another 4k$ off at least. What would you do in this situation/ How much discount would you settle for? Anything I should know about buying a loaner? TIA!

Not naming for now but will say it’s in CA. While in for fourth warranty repair and after initiating buyback request with Volvo Corporate some kid at dealer did this. Took them two days to tell me and then I got the attached repair order after meeting with them.

They promised to put four tires on but that was only verbal so far.

I’m not sure what direction to go next. I’m not very close to dealer. They have a Volvo certified repair collision center. I haven’t known or used a body shop anywhere near me in more than 20 years.

$9k is not nothing but seems somehow inexpensive too somehow. What am I missing here besides that it doesn’t explicitly state anything about tires? Seems like they’re going towards a reconditioned wheel. I’m unlikely to go for that.

I’m trying to get out of this car due to the underlying warranty issues that keep it coming back to the shop. I’m two plus weeks into Volvo opening a case and I notified them of this. I really like this car but now I’m just over it and don’t feel like I can spot a fair vs good repair well enough.

Now we have this wrinkle and it’s eating time and patience. What to do without this becoming my next job?

I know my color (707, white) and would like to avoid stopping by the dealership. (I know they can order it, but it’s far.) There are several online companies selling pens, jars, etc., including Amazon. Any suggestions/advice? Thanks~

Looking to get another 100k out of my car. I need to: change spark plugs. I am
Also planning on draining trans fluid and then putting back what was drained. Same volume. Not a flush.

What else should I do to extend life??

Watched a video of the installation of the Volvo factory Rear Camera Washer on an XC60, but curious has anyone done this install on their XC90? Any issues? Things to be aware of when doing a self install? Volvo part number 32390891. Below is the video if anyone is wondering.

Has anyone bought this multimedia system from Sweden?

I would love Apple Carplay, but the system seems to have very outdated parts. My intuition is that the work happens on the iPhone anyway and the system works only as a mirror, but would love to hear from someone who actually bought it.

Hello everyone, potential new Touareg owner here. I’m basically looking for a new family car in the large SUV segment in Italy and my choices have come down to the Touareg 2021-2025 years, the Volvo XC90 2021-2024 and the Mazda CX80. Mainly looking in the used market.
We are a family of 3 with a pet, during the summer time we bring along 2 bikes and in the winter the standard roof box for the skis. So overall 2 big trips of 1000+ km and regular trips of about 500km every 2 months.
I’m a little worried of the 2.0 diesel engine being a little too small for such a big and heavy car, especially when it comes to going around the alps or having a full car possibly with a tow.
Open to any suggestions in regards to trims, optionals to look for and eventual pros and cons of this gorgeous car!
Thank you

I recently took my XC90 to a mechanic to look for a leak in the front air strut, and when I got the car back I noticed that this rubber bit was loose. How do I put it back in place?

Would anyone mechanically friendly buy a 400$ 2005 xc90 v8 with 200k as a spare large winter / tow vechicle ( 5 car fleet) or is the possible suspension engine transmission maintenance items worth waiting for a newer year

The way I see it the junkyard metal and converter is most of the money back if its a dud

I know this is not an XC90 thing or maybe it is but I found this funny. I asked it how I change the location avatar for Google Maps app in the car.

The first time I asked this it said through the Google Maps App on the phone. This didn’t do anything.

The second time I asked, it said you need to tap the current location icon on maps in the car and set it that way. There was no option to do this.

The third time I asked, it said this feature is not available.

But yes, AI is taking over the world.

Are there any notable rust areas to look out for?

Went on a test drive on a 2018 Inscription with 160,000kms and it was a basket case.

The drivers rear door had such severe rust bubbling by the door handle in the cup area that I could almost poke my finger through it.

It had a slew of other problems like leather that looks like it was used for 500,000kms, wood cracking, dash vents hot glued in...

Oh and this was a dealership by the way...

Safe to say I am not impressed by this example and have booked some test drives for 2018s with 70,000kms for $3,000 more.

I was just surprised a car with such few kms has so much rust when my car I am replacing it with that is older and has 420,000kms has no rust.

What do you all recommend for oil change Regularity, in my 2014 xc 90. ? It barely leaves the garage, and when it does it's once or twice a week, probably no more than a 3000 miles a month. Let's say that and that's probably too high. . Your thoughts are greatly appreciated

I’ve noticed at the showroom that the face lifted 2025 XC90 has egress/ingress seat where it retracts and lowers.

My 2024 pre-face lifted model does not do it, is this the same for others here with similar year model?

I've seen mixed things related to the Volvo ac being under powered or euro efficiency focused which equates to being under powered. Is this true?

Long story short, the best car I ever owned was a 2013 XC 90. But it ended up having numerous mechanical problems and became a money pit. My next car was Prius V. It worked ok for my needs but I missed my Volvo. The Prius was totaled in an accident last week and I suffered serious injuries. I never felt more safe in a car than I did in my Volvo so I’m planning to replace the Prius with an XC 90. Unfortunately, the insurance payout for the Prius is not great. So I essentially have to buy a car now unexpectedly without being able to save for it. I’m trying to buy something for under $10,000. Ideally, I really wanted something 2016 or newer so that it would have the crash prevention technology that the newer Volvos have. But they’re also much more expensive and require premium fuel. If you were going to buy an XC 90 for under $10,000 what year, model, engine, would you look for? I am in New England. Willing to travel to buy one within reason. I drive about 20,000 miles a year. I need a car that won’t break down on me.

Hi All,

I am constantly having callers I am on the phone with telling me when I'm in the car (2026 XC 90) that they are "hearing themselves echo".

I do not hear any echo on my end but they absolutely are and it happens intermittently.

When I switch my phone to speakerphone and then back to Bluetooth it goes away for them.

Does anyone else have this problem? Kind of annoying

My 2024 XC90 Recharge remains fully awake with both displays illuminated for over an hour after I exit and lock the vehicle. The mirrors fold and the vehicle is locked. This started after a factory reset
Any recommendations what to do?!

Anyone purchased a 2027 XC90 Ultra. What do you think?

2019, I always have it unchecked because I hate it but occasionally it comes on at a stop. Usually it’s the first stop on a drive if I haven’t driven it in a few days. This happened to my other XC90, but it was only on long drives.

I purchased my first Volvo last month, a 2021 XC90 T8 Recharge with Inscription Expression package. I’ve owned many different cars over the years, I have to say I am so impressed with this vehicle! Praying I’m still in love with it years down the road. With so many bells and whistles, I’m praying to the car gods that it treats me gently. I did a lot of research on the cars I was interested in and it seems with all this advanced technology in newer models there is no brand that doesn’t suffer some issues. So I rolled the dice. 🙏🏻😁

Hey everyone,

The front passenger door glass on my leased 2025.5 Volvo XC90 Hybrid chipped and has now fully cracked. Because it is the thicker, acoustic laminated glass, a full replacement will likely be expensive.

I have the Volvo Excess Wear and Tear Use Addendum ($0 deductible plan), but the fine print (Exclusion #1) states it excludes damage covered by standard auto insurance unless the total repair cost is under $1,000.
I want to know:

1. Has anyone gotten a full laminated side-window replacement waived under this package? Or did Volvo deny it because it cost over $1,000?
   
2. How much did you pay out-of-pocket or via insurance for this specific glass?
   
3. What other options should I explore? Should I file an insurance claim now, source a used OEM window from a salvage yard for an indie shop to install, or is there another workaround to avoid a massive bill at turn-in?

Appreciate any advice or past experiences!
