Some mechanics are wacks, but self acclaimed professionals.

This is what's keeping me from owning a Volvo...
I have always loved volvos because they are rare to see on the high ways, especially here in ph. And it's not as vulnerable as other products.

But in Port Harcourt here, am not sure of a good Volvo mechanic, and that's what is keeping me from saving up for a Volvo. [ Bro this your assumption is totally wrong as we do have good Volvo mechs in Ph. All you need do is to source for their information thanks. ]

Wish one was in Lagos, where oga Val and other professionals are.

HOW I LOST MY VOLVO S80,MY 2ND WIFE TO THE COLD HANDS OF THOSE MGBUKA GUYS ALL BECAUSE OF MY SO CALLED PROFESSIONAL VOLVO MECHANIC.

My car s80 '01 model was having a start and stop issue.In the middle of the highway it would just turn off and immediately turn on again .I took it in for diagnosis.They couldn't fathom the heck that was wrong with it .More painful was my mech who only repairs Volvo cars and nothing else.In fact to add to his incompetence :both of us uses same model. The guy worsened the issue for me.I practically shed tears when this car was been towed away from my compound because it wouldn't start anymore.
My once beautiful ride , admired by all is now a scrap.

WORSE DISCOVERY:
The mgbuka guy that bought told me he just changed some sensors and brainbox.the car came back alive and even stronger since I've worked on virtually all sections of the car previously.
Till date I still don't know how to relate with this mechanic whenever I see him.I just pity people car in his barrage.I only needed to forgive.
My baby ..is...gone.

So sad to hear, unfortunate

I'd advise you to get the Lexus series.

If you must do the XC90 then ....the 2006 2.5T engine is by far the most reliable.

Volvo XC90 2005 - 2006 models - buy the one with T5 engine

Volvo XC90 2007 models and above - buy the one with 6cyl 3.2l engine.

My personal preference will be the 07 above models anyways, they're less stresful to maintain.

Most important thing is to acquire a healthy unit, please concentrate on that.

Goodluck

There's no XC90 with those specifications, 2007 above models are either 3.2l 6cyl or 4.4l V8.

The 2004/05 XC90 T6 was a 2.9l 6cyl twin turbo (I'll recommend you stay away from this anyways)
