Ohio Volvo Car Dealers

The dealer is MAG Volvo of Dublin (in Columbus, OH). you can google for their contact info. I just finished the tank come with the car...399 miles and fill the tank with 16.0 gallon of gas, so the gas milage is 399/16=24.6 MPG, while the computer on the car showing 22.9 MPG so far. This is with 85% highway driving around 70 miles per hour. I think their 22 MPG highway milage is too concervative ( I think it is likely you will get 25-26 MPG if you drive all highway at 60 mph).

Mine is white lettering over a black background. It would have been nice to have a blue background in the T6 but oh well. 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.

Understood. I do find it interesting that Volvo(and others) pitch the 'factory maintenance' program as 36,000 miles, when there is no scheduled visit between 30k and 37.5k miles, basically rendering the plan as 3 years/30,000miles of free maintenance(barring an incident of some sort). The Safe and Secure plan certainly adds value for wear and tear items and roadside assist for the incremental period. I wonder if anyone has calculated a dollar value for Safe and Secure? 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 :D ) . Next is finding a good deal on tires for the'08 C70. That's going to be a 'hit' later this year.

Just purchased an '08 S*) V8 w/sport pkg w/ 8K mi. I travelled from OH to a DC area dealer as the car was a svc loaner and appeared like-new. Upon arrival, it was as presented on AutoTrader, etc. Paid 1/2 of $54L MSRP, but options lacked inlcude the DynaAudio which I would have preferred to the stnd audio system. Has the extra-cost silver paint, sport pksg, cold weather pkg, dealer appearance pkg, etc. So far, I love the car and especially the deal! Not many on the road either. I was about to buy an '09 E350 Sport, but this car, in my opinion, is superior but for the future resale value. ATJ1
