Inquiry: I'd like to know what to expect before I purchase (2003-2005) models.
1. Are there non-turbo models (I had a terrible experience with VW Passat turbo and so I'm wary of any car with turbo)
2. What are average prices for regular wear items
3. Do you have any Naija used ones in good condition for sale?
OK sir

1. There are no non-turbo models between 2003 and 2005, it's either 5cyl turbo engine or 6cyl twin turbo(T6). However from 2006 there are non-turbo models (V8 and 6cyl inline 3.2l engines). I hardly run into any XC90 5cyl with turbo issues, so I'll assume thats hardly an issue with them, however I suggest you remove all thoughts of the T6 from your mind as the car is almost always trouble generally

2. By regular wear items I assume you're referring to brake pads, shocks, oil filter etc Those are not too harsh on the pocket too, if you can afford to maintain a jap SUV, then this is child's play for you

3. Currently no, only have Tokunbo for now, perhaps soon

Generally, I'll recommend this car (XC90 5cyl) anytime anyway, it's one of the few SUV 's on the market that's quite affordable and will still serve you well without hurting your pocket so badly. Note I specified on the 5cyl engine if you must buy the year models (2003-2005), if you buy the T6 then you're oyo.

Brov, what's your opinion on the XC90.
Sorry oo, haven't been following the gist from start, do you already have one or you want to inquire about it?

Thanks for your prompt response.

I'm looking at the S40 and S60 since you have mentioned in previous posts your reservations about the S80. I feel the XC90 will be more expensive to procure and maintain...but you can give your professional advice. I presently use a Mazda MPV 2004/2005 which I got when it was already 10 years old but when I buy another car, I don't want to get a car that is already 10 years or more old based on my experiences.

I'm not a Toyota fan at all...thus I'm looking at some other brands like Volvo or Honda or maybe Peugeot....hence my enquiries from people like you the professionals.
The S60 is OK, also note that the S80 of those later models are not the same engine specs with those earlier ones that are troublesome, but since you already own an MPV, I'll say the closest to a like-to-like replacement will still be the XC90.

Oga Valarinz,

Can you or your good mechanics handle newer models of Volvo from 2010 upwards, both mechanical and electricalhuh

Expecting your response soonest. Thanks.
Which model are you looking at, what's popular around here is XC90 mainly sha, few S80's and S40's. And you know popularity has an effect on availability of parts, no one wants to buy parts for a car that's not rampant and stock up

I doubt if there is... My former boss used to have an S6 or something like that... She complained bitterly about the dearth of good mechanics.... I love this suv but mehn.... No one wants to buy wahala jare.
Hmm, sounds strange, that your boss couldn't find someone to fix ordinary S60 here in Lagos, I have kids aged around 19-22yrs of age who can unmount and mount an S60 engine in a couple of hours, it's basic work now.

That said, there are tons of good mechanics who can handle the S60 and XC90 quite comfortably(also pocket friendly) no matter the issue, without much fuss, obviously you'll notice that's what I have based on for the past two years, owing to that

Well, information, they say is power and I guess your boss just kept on finding herself among the wrong company, not knowing the right place to go, unfortunate.
