My sister is interested in purchasing a Volvo Certified 2008 XC90 3.2 AWD. Any comments on if this would be a good choice? Quality? Problems with transmission? Thank you.

    If I really wanted a dumb SUV from Volvo, I would get a brand new one. They are discounted a lot, you get tax money back from Uncle Sam, and get free service for 5 years.

      What is this tax money you mention? I don't know about that. What kind of discount can one expect on a new XC90?

      Thanks,
      Steve

        I bought an 08 Subaru for may daughter last year and my accountant told me that I blew it for 2009. The feds have an incentive to write off about $1500 or so if the car was new.

        All car dealers have great discounts, Volvo is not an exception. Expect to take a minimum of 10% off the list if the car is in inventory, some go as high as 15%.

        Go to your dealers web site and ask. If you have more than one dealer in the 100 mile area, ask them all for an Out-the-door price for the model you are looking for. That goes for any new car.
