Just curious what color paint did everyone out there get?
I got black stone and black interior. Though White exterior with tan interior looks nice. However we have dogs and that would get dirty
I bet your stone and black is sharp, nice combination. I am sure you will enjoy your XC60....by the way, I have been driving my T6 for 2-weeks daily and I am getting city 20.5mpg.....didnt change my driving habits, so cant complain as my BMW 530i was getting avg 21.5mpg and I suspect the Volvo will as well as the engine continues to get broken in...
Congrats on your purchase and Port arrival...
I've tried to wait patiently but that's been impossible. I've been looking at XC60 vids daily on YouTube (even the crappy dealership ads), I've read the entire owners manual and navigation manual (S60) on the Volvo website, and I was looking at the front cover of the XC60 brochure so much I had to turn it face-down. This is as close to opening presents on Christmas Day as it gets for an adult... haha.
My wife just got a Q5 two weeks ago and we spent another $3800 on an extended warranty, Cilajet, and accessories.
I called the dealership (here in New Orleans) a minute ago, got my VIN number, and now I can track the ship! It is supposed to arrive at Brunswick, GA on Valentines day, then a few more days before it gets here!
If you have your VIN you can track the ship by putting in the number in the "Cargo ID" space on this website

The dealer needs to do a dealer trade from another state to get it...thoughts?
I'm happy for you
The tire/wheel insurance seemed like a good idea but after I got back home and read the fine print, I canceled it (3 weeks ago for my wife's new Audi Q5). It excluded accidents and collisions and only covered damage from road debris and potholes, cracks, etc.
So to justify the cost, she'd have to hit a pothole so large that it would actually damage a wheel without her getting into a subsequent crash (in which case all damage would be covered by regular auto insurance). Or, she'd have to run over a nail four times. Damage from hitting curbs and cosmetic blemishes are excluded.
For the extended warranty I agree, I'm most concerned with all the new electronic systems. Imagine the cost/labor to replace something simple like the power tailgate motor. On the Audi, a 7yr/70,000 mile extended warranty made sense for us and I plan to get something similar for the XC60. We both work from home and only put about 6000 mi/year on each car so we will probably time-out the warranties like you did. We plan to keep the cars at least 6-7 years so we wanted to get some long term protection on the electronics.
Too bad we 'pounced' on the first shipment of XC60s(March '09), paid full sticker and didn't qualify for Safe and Secure. Oh, well.(At least we got an emergency kit out of the deal ) .
Next is finding a good deal on tires for the'08 C70. That's going to be a 'hit' later this year.
AWD
3.2
Red
Premium, Technology, Climate, Multimedia, Convenience packages
Blis
PCC
2 tickets to Europe and insurance for 1 month of driving around
And of course the 5 years of service
$43,330 w/o taxes and license
I found the same car for a little less here but didn't include two tickets to Europe
Well, that's a good thing too because now I have a few weekends to clean out the garage so the XC60 can fit.
Do dealers have many units in stock?

The sales manager said vehicles are usually ordered with only one or two option packages because those are in demand. They worry about losing money if a customer doesn't want to pay for an undesired option package on a vehicle on the lot.
It's almost silly for individual dealers to have vehicles on the lot though. We buyers have already researched the cars and know what we want. There should be a big parking lot somewhere in the US from which dealerships pull new vehicles. I'd sure give up my Costco card to have my XC60 seven weeks ago.
The new GM/Director/Head Honchess of the FIAT dealership here in Austin was on TV this morning, telling us how her FIAT store was going to "change the way WOMEN buy cars"(I guess they would sell to a guy, I don't know).
Pretty sure we've heard all this before; although, I must admit that the chance of my walking into a dealership and asking for a salesman isn't likely to happen next time I purchase. I only did it on the XC60(two years ago) because I was pretty sure the first wave wouldn't be sold through Costco or similar programs. Our immediately prior Volvo purchase went through our 'old' salesman since the dealer had already marked the unit down $13K(last '07 XC70 on the lot).
$40,467 includes climate, convenience, blis, xoen , metallic.
Because it was winter time, on top of the complimentory package, I added an extra $1,300 for 2 people to the warm Rome. The cost covered airport transportation with a private driver and Mercedes, 3 nights very fine hotel and inter-Europe flight to Gothenburg. All aranged by the Volvo travel agency. Every extra buck was worthy.
After the assembly factory tour, I drove my new XC to a nearby fishing island Ockero. It was a very beautiful village, I wished I would given up the time spent on the factory tour for it.
I also received a coupon form Volvo. I can be reimmburced 20% off the spending on volvo accessories from Volvo store.
Love the car, enjoyed the trip and the hospitality. Hope you enjoy your OSD too.
Enjoy your trip.
We wanted to do overseas but there was a 1832 different between buying it vs OSD.
Getting locally was 40,500 plus $500 costco card so really 40,000
The overseas was
Tourist XC60 T6 AWD $36480
Climate $1000
Convience $1200
PCC $550
Total $39230
Taxes (6%): $2353.8
Title and Registration: $300
Grand Total for OSD is $41,883.8
So a difference of $1,883.80
If Overseas accepted the $1000 volvo discount it would have cut it down to $883 which have made the choice harder for me.
2011 3.2 FWD
Premium, Convenience, Climate, Multimedia, BLIS, PCC, Front/Rear skid plates, Side Scuff plates
$39,675
I've owned BMW and Infiniti vehicles before this,...Let me tell you.. I LOVE this VOLVO. LOVE LOVE LOVE
How was the final buying experience? Would you mind sharing? My local Volvo dealer insists invoice price... I am wondering if it is worth 2 hours trip to LA...
Just to sum up my buying experience. The dealer offered me $300 over invoice on the spot but he mentioned the Costco discount so I renewed my Costco membership to get $500 under invoice. But this discount is countered by a $500 advertising fee which is supposed to be common for all dealerships in the DC area (my dealership is in Alexandria, VA). So with the Costco discount I paid right at invoice.
I ordered my XC60 on Dec 17th and it was ready for me to pick up on Feb 24th. The wait sucked.
Total invoice was $45,995:
(nadaguides.com has an accurate listing of invoice prices)
2011 XC60 T6- $36,096
Saville Grey / Black interior- 517
Multimedia Pkg- 2538
Technology Pkg- 1974
Convenience Pkg- 1128
Climate Pkg- 940
BLIS- 658
PCC- 517
Xenon- 752
At F&I I was offered but declined: Lojack ~$1000 (do you need this when the vehicle has an ignition immobilizer?), 7-year paint sealant and interior treatment ~$690 (didn't believe it would work - I'll just wax and clean as necessary), tire & rim warranty ~$750 (likely damage would be from an accident and covered by my auto insurance), 4-year dent protection ~$700 (I'll just get dents/dings repaired as needed by a paintless dent repair guy), and maybe one other thing.
I did buy a 10-year, 105K warranty for $3350 to cover the electronics and help the resale of this vehicle (I'll probably sell at year 7 so I can hopefully get a full-electric mid-size SUV).
So my total vehicle cost was:
Invoice- $45,995
Titling tax- 96
Dealer Business Lic. tax- 78.84
Sales tax (MD)- 2072.19
License fee- 180
Dealer Processing fee- 379
= $49,601.03 + $3350 (warranty) = $52,951.03. (Doh!)
The front blind view camera is not included in the Multimedia package, so I'm waiting for a price for the dealer to install that. Has anyone had this installed yet? I don't know why Volvo doesn't make that an option for the US. It's an option for UK buyers.
The dealer and I had already agreed to a final price when I ordered the car. I got:
2011 XC60 3.2 FWD with Sensus (Ordered after Nov 2010)
Black Stone/Sandstone Beige
Multimedia Package
Premium Package
MSRP: $38,475
Invoice: $36,219
My Price after Volvo Owner Loyalty Cash: $35,969
My Final agreed-to price was $35,969. That includes $1000 of Volvo Owner Loyalty cash. When I placed the order, I had to put down $2000.
So when the car came in, the amount owed was $33,969 less $8000 for my S40 trade-in plus TTL.
The whole paperwork process at the dealership took about 30 minutes or so. Super-fast and very easy to do.
I realize when I tested drive, I saw a blue background, the color just like the blue volvo logo. I know the Redesign shows blue but not sure if the T6 should also be blue. My car only shows bright white over dark.
Thanks
Volvo is putting too many of the nice touches only in the R-design. I didn't order the R-design though because of the tires and the suspension (and there's a bit too much chrome). I really wanted the smoother ride of the regular T6 so it was a trade-off for me.
anyone have any inside info on upcoming promos? i missed out on the costco deal and i don't have any loyalty. lol. so i don't know if i should bite the bullet and order one this weekend or wait for the next promo.
fyi, looking for a basic 3.2l/moonroof in all black.
Thank you
Host and mods, please pardon the interruption; but there really was no appropriate thread in the C70 forum AND it's the XC60 that has 'set the bar' for model year confusion.

Maybe in another month they'll have the 2012s on the website because Volvo just did a press release about some new 2012 upgrades.
