Virginia Volvo Car Dealers

Mine finally came! So far, so good. I'm still testing everything out and getting used my new toy. Wooo! 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.

There is no way you can put a bike standing up into XC60 or any other crossover vehicle. You need a full size SUV or minivan for that.

I've considered the Outback Limited 3.6 before buying XC60. The two vehicles are simply not in the same league, in my opinion. The materials inside the outback are noticeably cheaper and lower quality. I also was not impressed with the engine at all.

I wouldn't bet on it. Set your expectation to end of March to avoid disappointment. Our 2010 XC60 was delivered a month later than promised.

Congratulations on your new ride! We've had our T6 for about 6 weeks as well, and also love it. The lock-out of the navigation system is a huge disappointment. This is especially puzzling and stupid given the fact that it is not just the driver's controls that are locked out, but also the IR remote control for the passenger!!! What is the purpose of providing this control then??? Another annoying "feature" or rather lack thereof is that you cannot program the car to unlock doors when you park. You can program it to lock when you start driving, which is great, but not automatically unlock. Weird! Finally, the auto-tilt function on the mirrors tilts it WAY WAY too much. I had to turn off auto-tilt because of that. Thankfully you can enable on-demand tilt when you're backing up just by pushing the left or right mirror button.
