2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
Thanks for the the link to the video. I couldn't jusge the amount of leg room but the 5'3" limit gives me a general idea.
Just one ... and that's why it'll be wildly successful!
My question is this: will this be available on the A plan for ford employees? I have conflicting info on this. I spoke to the customer service center for the A plan, and they said, yes and have the dealer call if there are any questions. one dealer said availability on A plan in 2004, other said available 6/2003.
any suggestions or input is greatly appreciated.
By the way, if I do book it without the A plan, how does one negotiate a price when the XC is not actually there yet?
BTW, dealer participation for X-Plan pricing is voluntary. So, it would be wise to touchbase with the dealers in your area to inquire about X-Plan participation on certain vehicles. Since the XC90 looks like it's going to be a hit, not all dealers may honor X-Plan pricing.
Also, what's the deal with the "A" plan and "X" plans? Does this mean the price is up in the air? Please provide any specifics (in particular, I'm interested in the higher end units for a 36-42 month lease).
THANX
I do not mind where I buy it, a/x plan will sure beat the thing I dread, negotiating. also the potential benefit of the xchange rate is negated if I do not get the a plan
A/X-Plan pricing is a special buying program for companies that do business with Ford. I can't help you with the leasing details. Still waiting for xc70matt to give us the details.
P.S. to Obiwan
Yes; Detroit area.
Turbo engines usaully can be chipped for higher HP/torque, VW and Audi are masters at it, I've never checked into Volvo's. Any info on a T5 being chipped and its increases in power? Our VW Bug is 150hp stock, 215hp chipped, no other add-ons not bad for $500 bucks.
Found 4 companies, 2 of which I'm familiar with and reputable here in the states, all will chip a T5 and add 32-34hp and 54-59ftpds or torque for $400-500. They do the T6 also with the same increase, and what a beast that would be with over 300hp. Upsolute and GiacUsa
xc_90 do you think you could point me in the direction of your dealer? my email is [email protected]
sailing216 what is exactly does chipping do and what do you mean when you say "reputable"? any info or links to more info appreciated

Car manufactures don't like chipping and threaten warranty voided. That's why the Chip tuning companies use encription and give you the ability to change to Stock settings when going to the dealership. Dealer's computers won't detect it, but if they road test the car, they will notice, or if they look at the ECU directly, they'll notice with GIAC. I've let you know of worst case scenarios with engine blowing, dealer voiding warranty, but I've come across a hundred or so people with chipped cars and none have had any of the proplems listed. The shops that chip will give alot more info on the concerns. I don't know the lag time with chipping the XC90, probably weeks.
Pretty good review of the XC90. They mentioned minivan alot and wagon, then again I think every car in it's class looks like a minivan or wagon on roids. Everyone always says X5 when benchmarking, it's a 5 series wagon with all wheel drive jacked up. I like wagons, so it's not a negative to me. If I want a brutish truck, Durango and Yukon are in the price range.
Also, is the Volvo's Euro price really non-negotiable set price?
Currently, the page does not include XC90 in the list of vehicles.
Essentially, yes. Or a member of an organization that has this benefit.
A/X Plan pricing is probably close to invoice price + a certain percentage profit. For example, X-Plan pricing for a Volvo is A-Plan (employee) price + 2%. The X-Plan price is normally displayed on the official invoice of the vehicle one is interested in. So, it's wise to always demand to see the invoice of the vehicle.
And I doubt that you can combine the two?
For example invoice for XC Wagon is $34,935, and Oversease price is $33000
And 2 free round trip tickets for now
http://new.volvocars.com/overseas/
Invoice: $35898
OD: $33900 (2 Free air ticket included)
No other deal or plan X Y Z or whatever can beat that.
I just hope they do the same thing with XC90
x y z plan makes it easy for people who prefer to just go to their local volvo retailer to buy a volvo.
'cause I don't mind at all having little overseas vacation especially to Europe. I bought my 325xi in Germany last year and I enjoyed it.
Cheers

and yes, you want to raise your twins first, before having another set of twins. at least until they're about 3 or 4. then, you'll want something bigger than the XC90.
