2004 Volvo XC90 review from North America
"Expensive junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Like virtually every other XC90 on the road, at 73,000 miles, its transmission began to slip. $7000 to repair except that it was a Volvo Certified Pre Owned so I have warranty to 100,000 miles. And I'm sure gonna need it based on my experience with the car. Volvo Certified? Volvo Certifiably Bad Transmissions!
General comments?
Too expensive to buy.
Lousy resale value.
Too expensive to repair.
Needs lots of repairs.
