I hear you brother but most of us aren’t in the position to buy a new car
Kris, I would like to see a video on the XC90 electronic glitches and qwerks. I have a bunch of them that I can share.
Thanks you for this great info I was looking to purchase a used XC90 this change my mind I will purchase new at this time.
The money you lose via depreciation may outweigh money lot in repairs.
Toyota and Lexus I’ll buy used without warranty. Volvo I’d buy used but with warranty or purchase extended warranty.
@@joseopao its not like Volvo isn't reliable
Agree. Bought a low mileage SUV at 60% below purchase price. It has had issues but nothing near what the original purchase price was plus we bought extended warranty.
Great to have you back Kris
We bought pre owned Xc90 T6 momentum has 46,500 miles on it still has warranty from original volvo dealer with 0 issue we loving it.
I’ve spent the last week researching the 2016 under 50k miles that has one year left 7/21 at $27k I’m getting rid of my model 3 w/autopilot and am moving to Europe with my family? Do you have any advice
it's normal, this author is not very smart. Huge warranty problem are also in warranty not covered. Look at cp4 pump problem, lot of lawsuit - and was won by manufacters. So good used car is almost the same as used warranty car
Thank you for reassuring me on my used xc90 t6. pulled it off the lot and check engin light came on. Brining it back tomorrow for rpairs insted of refund.
Hi Kris, I do enjoy all your Volvo XC 60 reviews. In fact, I am leasing a 2020 T6 Momentum and the lease expires on Feb. 2022. I hope you don't mind me asking this question. Is it worth buying out the car when the lease expires. It has run only 11,000 KM as of today and the buy back value is about Canadian $ 45,000.00 excluding tax. Every 2 years I'm being offered a new car from my dealership (obviously) and at some point, I just wanted a car for keeps. I hope you can share me your opinion on this matter especially now that the mild hybrid has come out. thank you so much.
Welcome back Kris!!!
Many software issues remain and they can’t solve them. I can give you some examples for you to test on your own car.
Thank you buddy! Appreciate you sending this our way :)
I have a V60 2019 and a V40 2017. The V60 is on a leasing that includes servicing, the V40 I purchased the oldfashioned way. I cant say that I have a lot of issues with these cars, and I do drive app 45.000km/year. But for the future, I will always lease, as it gives me peace of mind. I have owned many brands, and all have their issues. What matters, is how the workshop handles it.
This help me a lot, planning to get one new 2021 volvo xc90 T6
Same here. Can't wait :)
Hi Kris, do u hv any idea whether volvo had improved the quality of the suspension (bushings, etc.) for the xc90 later batches, or is it a perennial issue with the car?
Bought one for my wife in 2020 with 62,000 miles on it and has had no issue just regular maintenance. One of the best decisions I've made. Now the car is going on 70,000 and still no issues
Do you have updates on this? I wonder how it's doing with 100-120k miles :)
Great explanation
Cars have so much tech that repair bills soon mount up. I had a Lexus RX450h and one day the boot wouldn’t open. It was in for repair for sometime as the mechanics couldn’t find the problem. Eventually they replaced a pcb and charged me £1000. I also had a very low mileage BMW 116. It kept cutting out and BMW replaced various sensors but it started happening again, nobody seemed to be able to trace the fault so I had to sell it at a low price. I am thinking my current XC60 should be swapped when the warranty runs out.
Great commentary….do you think if a 2016 is still in the road with over 100k miles and it doesn’t have a history of problems that it would continue to be free of problems or is it just a matter of time before the issues begin?
Good question
I haven't bought a used XC90 but I did buy a new 2019. At only 5000 miles / 8000 km the compressor pump for the air suspension went out. The dealer got me in that day and replaced the part under warranty with zero cost to me all in the same day and gave me a free loaner car while they were working on it (about 3 hours). I was surprised at how quick that went bad, but was very happy with how my Volvo dealer resolved the problem. Fingers crossed that was not a sign of bad things to come because I really do love my XC90.
S. T. I would avoid air suspensions with any car tbh.
They always give problems especially in very cold weather.
@@fmsantoscar my BMW X5 back in 2018 had drivetrain issue 8th days after the new car came out freshly from dealer.
The car spent in the workshop for 1 month for checking and repair.
@@lightberry1197 lol bro you must’ve been fuming 😳😬
Perfect video
Hello! I am about to buy a 2004 XC90 2.9 T6... it has 146.000 km... its gearbox has been changed with the orginal due to some minor issues... should I buy it? thanks
How many miles (or km) did you have on your 2106 and 2018? Also, did the issues repaired under warranty need to be repaired again? Looking at a decent deal on a XC90 T8 right now and this video was somewhat helpful, thanks!
I don't know, the T8 has that electric motor. I agree with Kris on that one. Who knows what issues there may be with the battery down the road.
Hi Kris, I bought a CPO 2016 XC90 last year from the dealership together with their extended warranty, which covers to September 2025. The extended warranty is around $3300.
After 5000 miles driving within the first 6 month, I noticed that there is a rattle issue around the steering wheel. To be more specific, it sounds like something between the steering wheel and the instrument panel is loose. This only happens when I'm driving faster than 60mph on a freeway and the road is kind of rough. Do you think I should ask the dealership to solve this issue? I'm worried about they would tell me this is "normal" for a 4-year-old car.
Other than this rattle issue, I'm pretty happy with it so far. Thanks so much!
Problems with my 2017 XC90 D5 inscription so far ~30000km:
1) Water leaking in front right light, €2000 for one light unit (covered by warranty).
2) Back doors wouldn't open and/or close if temp was below zero due to poor water insulation, change of locks on back door. (Covered by warranty).
3) diesel pre-heater not working, service + new battery, €350 not covered by warranty.
4) Power pulse repair, covered by warranty.
5) A general recall due to the engine issue related to the EGR.
Also rattling noises and trim bits not being fixed correctly.
My warranty just expired in April this year and now I'm to scared to keep the car 😬
Get rid of it quickly.
Im planing to buy one to use around 5y, about reliability, what would you recommend? T5 or T6?
Dear Kris,that's an Excellent video with perfect detailing,Request ur advice if I can buy xc60,2016,done 120000,it has that issue of car window as said by u...but it will be repaired by previous owner..it seems yo be in good service history....your views will be a major support/help...thanks in advance
Every person who buys new cars ... is just loving piece of mind and ignoring the ridiculous amount of depreciation. Also every time I bought a warranty with a car I never spent as much on repairs as I did on the warranty... again you’re paying for “peace of mind” but the reality is most warranties do not cover any of the maintenance... so what’s the point ?
Agreed. I never get the warranty. never had issues with my volvo 240, s70, 740, or 940 . Purchased all used over the last 30 years.
Definitely gonna subscribe to your channel
I got myself a lease return 2018 XC90. The car itself came with a warranty till 2024 or 160k kms and extended it by 2 more years and got the protection package. The dealer was good so got a good discounted price for both these things. So everythings covered. Fingers crossed.
Any updates?
could you also talk about buying a used Volvo C30?
Thx Kris for your video.
Yes, I have an eye on XC90 D5 Inscription with pano !
Regrettably, I have to dump my V70 Classic 2000 D 2.5 which runs like a sowing machine but can't keep the car by stupid new Diesel law. It has 487K on the clock and wish I could see at least 500K :-(
What do I need to watch?
1. the Air suspension
2. Rattle around the speakers ? Front or back ?
3. Does 22" tyres change make sense instead of the standard 20"
4. Which extended Warranty are you talking about and how long ? 3 or 6 month?
Just read other comment that he extended his Warranty to 2025 ? Wow !
Regarding the 22" tyres change due to wear and tear of the disc brakes ?
What is your opinion ?
Could anyone tell me the consuming rate for the D5 please.
Is 1:20 reachable ? On my V70 I could drive at least 870 -1000Km on one tank..
@@SirBaracha hmm I might look for an xc70. We don’t have those bs laws here for the time being
Kris I have a question for you or your followers, I have a 2019 XC90 I picked up at the factory drove around Europe for 3 weeks and was shipped back to the United States I would like to know if you have ever gotten the polestar upgrade and is it worth it? Here it’s about $1800.00 for a software update thank you
Two words......hell yeah! I added the Polestar software upgrade two years ago to my 2017 XC90 T6 R-Design and the powertrain improvements are noticeable. One newer improvement is the rear wheel drive torque bias which sends 80% of the engine power to the rear wheels in Dynamic mode. You can find dealer discount coupons for 10-20% off the Polestar software upgrade. Lastly, the Polestar rear liftgate badge lets you sit at at Volvo's cool kids table....👍
Purchased a 2017 Momentum 56,400 miles three months ago. Love the drive feel and handling but starting to question the reliability. I had the dealership do 60,000 mile service which also included new spark plugs. Two weeks later got stuck at a store it wouldn’t start needed a new starter. Now a week later check engine light on my reader saying possible oxygen sensor code P0137 and another code. Taking to a specialist tomorrow instead of the dealership. Wondering if I should trade it in getting worried about reliability.
What ended up happening?
They had it diagnose for me and they said it was the turbo charger
The supercharged/turbocharged engine appeared first on the, I believe 2015 or 2016 s60 models and maybe xc60 models. I think some other things like some of the safety features and sensors also carried over from the previous generations. But that's about it.
I bought a 2016, D5 , 93000km and i have warranty to 150000 km and 3 years, by the way it was Petter Northug car.
Ersin Okcu that’s awesome! Dm me a pic on my IG 😊
If i buy a 2016 with 70k miles can I call Volvo and buy an extended warranty thru Volvo if I didn’t buy the vehicle from Volvo
how is it doing? im planning on buying one xc90 2016 t6 but it has 140k miles, not sure if its a good idea or not
Leaking sunroof!? Is it wind noise or water leaks ?
Water
I’m looking at 2008 XC90
Was this a good year?
135,000 miles. Your thoughts please
PS. This is a 6 cylinder XC90
my brother has a 2007 laast year with no problems
These new SPA cars have some defect in eating brakes and rotors really fast and Volvo can't seem to come forward about it yet there are countless forms of people complaining about it whether it'd be the new XC90, XC60, XC40, etc. Yes, the XC90 is a heavy car but I still find no exception. We had a 2012 Nissan Quest which weighs around 200 pounds more than the XC90 and didn't have to replace pads or rotors until like 70k miles. Unacceptable on Volvo.
I have an s40 the previous owners have the receipts seems like every 5 mins they got new tyres and new brake pads rotors shaved or new rotors lol.
@@alexanderstevens145 I have an s40 too. I was told your lower control arms are warn its eating tires.
All incredibly easy things to do by yourself... if you're a man.. you two sound like ladies...
Hey bro kindly tell me which is reliable suv Toyota.Bmw..Volvo .audi
Toyota but... the safety is subpar compared to Volvo
Hello my name is Tammy I have a 2005 Xc90 Volvo SUV utility sport it’s a 5 cylinder front wheel drive someone gave it to me because I didn’t have a car when I try to drive it
I have a 2018 XC90 Inscription with the Bowers & Wilkins Audio System and I had to make several trips to the dealer before they finally resolved the door rattling issue, primarily in my front passenger door.
It was a bad experience.
I have a similar problem i guess with my xc90 front passenger door. Could you guide me what went wrong as the dealership is not able to find the problem where the rattling is coming from?
Taking apart your door panel is a 6 minute process. Make sure everything is tight and put back on. Jesus
@@sukhamritoberoi8889 just saw this. They had to call in a Volvo engineer to resolve the issue. There was a loose piece in the door causing the rattle at certain frequencies.
You send a lot of mixed signals. I’m missing coherence.
Depending on your income and preference, Volvo cars of any nature and model have endless issues. Especially electronics, suspension and pumps. I drive a Volvo XC90 V8 2007 model bought in 2015 at 150,000km. First two years were great, I only remember changing only the four discs. At the moment I have replaced all pumps from fuel pump in the tank to a water pump. Currently I am replacing the ECU unit, throttle body and YAW sensor(had previously replaced a new one in 2018). The cause was water leaking through the windscreen base that spoilt the entire hand brake system. The list is endless. I just love the comfort of the car and its agility on the road. So I agree with you Kris, a warrant is necessary. Buying a Volvo will require you to have another car for a fall back position because the repairs are endless, so you end up not having the car to drive. Best place to repair from is from an authorized Volvo dealer. In conclusion, if you’re faint hearted don’t buy a car that will keep the maintenance bill so high. One thing I commend about Volvo, the spares are always readily available around the world!
I haven't had major issues with my s80 from 2002. It's a T6. However, the last 6 years I haven't driven it many miles per year. Major issue, fuel pump replacement, radiator fan replacement. Everything else is the usual, brakes/rotors, replace struts at one time, did the timing belt when recommended and a few sensors went bad and were a few hundred dollars to replace. It was a certified used Volvo from a dealer but it has been off of warranty for 10 or more years now. I feel lucky because I think your advise is good. Have a big budget for Volvos, they are premium European cars, things do go wrong, and you may have to spend big money to keep them running. I think, Kris gives great advice here as do you about where Volvos are problematic. I may replace my 02 not because it doesn't run fantastically and feels quite middle-aged, not old, but because a big expense is down the road. But, I'll go the CPO route again even though the dealers overcharged for the cars.
>entire hand brake system<
There is no hand brake in the xc90. So, are you sure you are driving a Volvo?
Vladimir Gn Sorry I meant the entire parking break system that got corroded from the water leakage.
My last 4 cars have been Volvos and apart from a bad back door lock on my 2010 V70 I haven’t had any other issues. You will also find the latest Volvo models to be much more reliable than the older Volvos built under Ford Motors ownership.
My Volvos have been:
2010 V70
2015 XC70
2018 V90CC
2020 XC90
I would rather buy used car twice than a new car once. Depreciation.
"Never buy a used car out of warranty"?? What a joke! Do you think I'm made of money? I've NEVER bought a car in warranty.
I much prefer to take advantage of depreciation. So I buy older cars. And run them till they're BER (Beyond Economical Repair).
Boy, if that was the case Africans would not be driving. Our roads are full of second cars, and they serve the purpose . We understand how to deal with them and we are musters at looking after them. I have a 2010 Volvo cx90 it's running and have no qualms with it
take a shot everytime he says warranty.
Buy Toyota or Honda and sleep soundly. Use the money saved and go on trip with your wife or girlfriend.
How the f*** you have a video of buying a used XC90 if you dont buy used cars if they are more than 3 year old
First comment!
Awsome!
