I had to replace my cat at about 190k. It just got to stinky. Around $2k but that is the way it goes in CA.
Nope. I've got the CPO warranty which I added 3 years onto. So mine is 8 years & unlimited miles. I'm at 120K now, the light came on a couple thousand after the previous oil change. Pretty frustrating dealership. I've been letting them ass rape me with the routine service in hopes that they'll be there for me when something big is covered under warranty. But I ALWAYS get the second class treatment. No loaner car, "maybe" they'll have a shuttle driver who can make the 10 min trip to where I work if the timing is just right. The drivers make a point of letting me know they routinely drive 1-3 hours to pick up their Mercedes customer's cars who bought new vehicles from the dealership. Meanwhile the service rep just says about the catalyst code: "if it were my car, I'd just drive it until the performance declines. This thing is going to be thousands to replace." Me: "How do we know if is this a warranty thing that Volvo should cover?" Him: "It's probably not covered. Especially with the miles you have, I'm sure you're out of warranty." Me: "My warranty is unlimited miles. I assumed it said that right there in my record". Him: "I've never heard of a warranty like that". Me: "It's a VOLVO CPO WARRANTY". Him: "I'll look into it." That was three weeks ago. I'm pretty sure it's considered a wear item and not covered, because THE INTERNET! But motherfucker, I'm so tired of this bullshit. How do I get someone to actually advocate for me? I asked him if they could more specifically diagnose what is wrong with it, and he literally said they'd have to just replace the whole exhaust system. That further diagnostics were impossible.Quote:

Have you tried contacting Volvo directly ? How much time do you have left on the warranty ?Quote:

If it only had a turbo 6 rather than a 4 cylinder engine.
Ovlov spelled backwards is Volvo.
No more combustion engine after 2025! That’s the hubbub.Quote:

But that wouldn't be in line with Swedish sensibility.
I feel like they missed the memo on hybrids. Instead of eking out noticeably better mileage with two power sources, they’re like, “We can put a 100hp electric motor on top of our 300hp engine? And use the same amount of gas? FKNA!”
Still deciding whether it’s folly or genius.

Also told it was no big deal until the car either started noticibily losing power or failed an emissions test.
4 yrs and ~45K more miles and the CEL is still on.

That concept two door is pretty sexy, but Volvo should stay out of the grille wars.
Who won? BMW or Lexus?Quote:

If you want to look like a douche, buy a sporty pointy sports car and do a quick Pilates routine every time you get in and out. If you want a car that drives like a beast but is comfortable and convenient, get a fucking 4 door sedan. But don't try to convince me your coupe is a sexy sports car.
Says the guy trying to convince himself his Volvo SUV is Sporty!
Yep. I forgot to mention GMC/Chevy with the 8’ tall grilles on the front of their trucks these days.Quote:

I like you guys.
But I don’t know who you are anymore.
And fuck any car company that calls a 4 door a coupe!!
The only cars that should exist with four doors are wagons. I accept suv's because without them we wouldn't have Suburbans (and Range Rovers :D ) but really, the rest shouldn't exist and this crossover/tall wagon shit is just purely unacceptable (don't look at the other two units in my driveway). I dunno, I guess we'll let sedans stay because otherwise people like my dad need cars and have some weird distaste for 2 door cars.
Now on THAT we are certainly all in agreement. When did that stupid trend start?Quote:

I saw a new Volvo the other day and was totally impressed. They've come a long way since the 80's.
