Thank you to Chris and Christopher for the parts and accessories, as well as Brett for the hand in wrenching the brakes.
I just spent 12 hours on the couch editing this, so give it a thumbs up!
📺 More videos on the journey and test drives of other XC90s, Land Rovers and even a few Subarus before finding this one:

I just finished watching this video for the 4th time. Every time pick up something new - great work, love the narrative!
Oh, I did get an XC90… well 2, a v8 and a 3.2 r-design. Love my Volvos.
Thanks so much!
Thats a nice looking XC90 you got there! We got my wife a 2008 XC90 V8 with 43000miles from the first owner, that dude was a maintenance freak! The car was like a brand new one.
Lucky you! a rare bird indeed (The car, not your wife....) 43k....WOW!
@@patagualianmostly7437 The car is in an amazing condition :O some times you get lucky with cars! My wife loves it she had an 2012 Mercedes-Benz E250 Diesel 4-Matic before, she complained that the Merdeces was slow and un-responsive the Volvo drives so effortless with the V8.
Nice, informative and relaxing video. I love the XC90, I worked on the translation of the owner's manuals, the wiring diagrams and the workshop manuals (English to French, original source being Swedish).
And please always use jack stands if you want to keep your legs....
I never get under a car without them, even if camera can’t see them
The Amazon is beautiful! 😊👍
Textar is a Polish company making pads/rotors, Actually I'm quiet amazed that they made their way to Californian Volvo. Cheers from Poland for a good job keeping that cars as they should be kept.
Thank you for joining!
We get Textar pads here in Chile...I've always had good results with them.
They are sold as "Top Quality Parts"....(not to be confused with others!)
oh yeah man a good video for sure man! cant wait for the next update!
The moulded section of the coolant hose is probably also used on other models. It makes sense for them to use parts from other vehicles and adapt them to fit in low volume vehicles...
David , thank you sooooo much for making the time to create such an amazing valuable detailed video. Not yet seen one as good and clear as yours !
Recently got myself an SX90 D5 AWD from 2006 (414.000 km).
Am not rely an car mechanique but always eager to learn as much possible.
Learning much from your coaching.
Wishing you and your family an haalthy and prosperity day forward.
Kind healthy regards

Love your XC90 V8. Such good condition. Engine sounds good too. I wish I had you as a mechanic friend when I had my 2007 S60 R 6MT. Nice work on the XC90. Love the small improvements that make such a difference.
Nice work David, Excellent job on not only details of the repair but where the sources of parts are from and part numbers!!! Happy Holidays!
I agree for years I was a IPD guy but with cost of items FCP and the warranty it's a no brainer!
Ben... I quite agree....FCP... seems to be a great supplier:
But that rather depends where you live. I'm down in Chile with Xc90 V8....
(Love it)...And I need the blocks for the Window sliders...
$1.50 each x 4 (both front windows) $6.00...yeah? Shipping almost $50!
For four bits of plastic & clips that could go in a Jiffy-Bag...for say $10?
I challenged them about it & they simply said..."Shipping is out of our hands."
Be glad if anyone can explain that. Weird.
Parts are ridiculously hard to get here for the car.....lots of "alternatives" as they like to say here....but I refuse to sully the car with cheap crap.
Always loved these. I've owned 2 Volvos (99 S70 T5 5MT and an 06 S60 2.5T AWD). Both stellar cars and looked good even by today's standards. The XC90 V8 is in my short list of contenders to replace my current SUV.
Go for it! But do all the prescribed maintenance jobs...just for peace of mind.
Just picked up my first Volvo, XC90 V8 06, loved the look of it and the fact it has a v8 and AWD, living by Lake superior in winter makes having AWD great, deff. will be a vehicle I will care for. Seeing this video made me like the vehicle all the more. Having stalling issues now with it, as to be expected when I got this with 160k miles on it, if it hasnt gone it will soon, so time to change the fuel filter and pump. Great video!
I have the same model in the R design and found this very informative. Thanks from Australia
Great video man, basically did the same to mine except it would of been nice seeing this video before hand. I had to use the forums online but still very helpful. I just changed the alternator on mine which at first seems like a pain in the ass but if you drop the K-frame instead of taking everything apart it's much easier to access the alternator and the 3 bolts!
XC90 in red! So nice! :)
Cool video man. Cant wait next update about this car.
We tried your Lysol disinfectant trick to the cowl intake vents on our recently purchased 2005 XC90. It works great! We kicked it up a notch also after vacuuming ,shampooing the carpets and mats, I set off a Maguires fogger for 15 mins. Doesn't smell like a$$ anymore. Thanks for the great pro tip! 😁👍
Now I'm getting a v8 XC90! keep up the super cool and very informative videos
i suggest you don't
@@bostontechteam3217 lol - I got a manual v70r instead, very happy with it :)
@@baseballtrading3731 good choice but xc90 v8 is great too
@@clonetrooper576 100% agree, why I’m still looking for the right one :)
Baseball Trading.... I bought one 12months ago in Chile.... Still working through all the maintenance jobs I just know were never done properly here..... "Dealer Stamps" are not worth the paper they are printed on.
Did the Aisin transmission flush recently.... Peace of mind!
Next is the Haldex service...... The list is pretty endless!
But it keeps me busy in my dotage!
And what a joy to drive..........What price do you put on that?
Never saw me driving a Volvo as I grew old.....(Although I did have a Volvo P1800 when I was about 20!) ...
But the Xc90-V8-Yamaha was the siren I had to follow........
Phenomenal video, David. Thank you.
Im in the UK & loving your channel! This is going to be my next car, im looking now - they are quite unusual here and don't come up often, so it will be a long hunt!
Really cool to see such a nice xc90 V8, never see them here in Sweden.
Great work man, i really enjoyed
This covered 70% (with super explanations) on my xc70 p2 issues that I had 😂
No way de ja vu - I've done all the same on my Volvo XC90 apart from the struts. Even did the rear spaced out newer style Volvo logo. Good work 👍
Oh yeh i changed the front upper grille to the newer bigger Volvo logo grille
@Disclosureteam Liverpool its the bigger Volvo grille that came in circa 2010 for the Volvo XC90. There are some internet forums posts on it. Not sure about the S90 fitting
Kindly share the link to buy the bigger logo front grille. I have a 07 xc90 in Nigeria.
@@mikko4luv youtube wont allow the link to be posted - search on Google or eBay you will find it, or check scrap yards
this was so cool i was on the fence about getting one but this has owned my vote
going to get mine this week
How did it go? Enjoying it?
I love my xc90 T6!
Hope to see u tomorrow morning brother
I like you voice, soothing
Thin cycle cone spanners are best for the ARB links with the flats. Makes things super easy
She looks great, I always liked the sport model XC90 just a little bit more.
For the aux jack, dont reclip it in that spot. Just let it dangle down below and run a 3.5mm extension cable out to the front pen holder. Then you dont smash into it every time you set a drink down. Plus, the rubber flap still covers up the hole so it doesn't look stupid.
Thank's. The Yamaha V8 IS great. 240 turbo still....
I just had the leaking head gaskets replaced by Volvo. I had a cracked hose down in there that caused a rough idle so I got it done at the same time. They also recommended doing the plugs while it’s apart.
I feel like buying a classic V8 Volvo after watching your videos. I currently have a 2020 XC60 D4 R-Design.
Hey awesome work! I have a '10 XC90 V8 Executive and I did the complete suspension overhaul & all front end over the last summer after my mechanic was too lazy to do it. All rubber bushings, isolators, ball joints, control arms. I used to restore cars and while this one appeared 'mint' I wanted to bring it back to brand new OEM stock for another 10 years of hard daily use. Nothing was outright broken, but it was all tired and limp wristed. Used OEM Volvo struts/shocks/mounts much as I could. FCP & IPD for other stuffs....but stick to Volvo as much as you can. I took the chance with Meyle HD Control Arms from FCP. Don't buy anything with the "C" word on it, or anything refusing to tell you where it's made. Motor mounts.... (why is there 5?!?! do the bracket braces too - remember VOLVO ONLY for the sensitive vibration related mounts). Car drives amazing now - wasn't bad before but still a night and day difference. Front end seemed to lift a 1/2" in just tired rubber. New stock is a lot firmer than you might expect on these more kitted out models - check the rear of B pillar passenger side for the build codes for the EXACT suspension parts (code "47" for example). Also did the headlights. Make sure to use a 2K headlight clear coat over a 1K adhesion promoter/primer for a more permanent finish. I only went down to 400 grit and wish I went down further for faster results & less elbow grease. Finish 3000 grit. Cleanliness is next to godliness. Just this last weekend I soundproofed the front and rear doors - used a 8mm closed cell foam deadener on top of the dynamat type base layer. 3 layers, outer door skin, inner door skin, inner door card. Feels SOLID, closes with a solid thud (like, even more than before lol). The mid-base/base improvements were substantial - almost like having mini subs on each door. Added about 6 lbs material per door. That Dyne Audio system sounds even more amazing! I'm eyeballing the Volvo Thalassa 20" wheels next ($,$$$.$$). If you're still having trouble with the suspension take a look at the front control arm bushings, I bet they are shot and deflecting. Or there are 4 main bushings holding the subframe in, they can get soft or tear. Poly inserts can tighten them up. Amazing cars but you need a lot of know how to keep them tip top. Enjoy your beautiful luxury tank - stay safe and good health! Cheers!
Awesome P2 V8! I have a 07 V8 with 304k on the original drivetrain.
I’m about to reach 200,000 miles 😎
Have installed ceramic brake pads in my XC90... best decision ever, no black dust!
Just did a brake job on my Volvo V70 and mate i've got to admit I was looking just like you , dirt all over my face ! :D
Thanks for the video. I have an '05 and can't find many videos on the 4.4L V8
You are not searching correctly:

Thanks the video! I am from now subscribed!
(Allow the subtitles, please!
It would be a huge help in understanding every detail)
Love the vid 🤙 Just bought one last week. What part number did you get for the rear badge?
Yesss big red moose 🥰
Fantastic video David, and very helpful. I bought one of these last month, a 2008 V8 sport in electric silver. I have done a few things including the fuel door fix, the center console hinge replacement, etc. I had some issues with the transmission, even though the number is past the one where they have the valve body issue. Replacing the transmission fluid seems to have helped. Mine also is past the number that had the issue with the drain in the intake, which can cause the center balancer bearing (?) to seize. They say to be sure you never hose down the engine on the V8 for that reason. There are some very knowledgeable guys on Swedespeed that have been very helpful to me. Greatly appreciate this video and best of luck to you as you go. I looked at 4 Sport V8s in one day, and really wanted the Passion Red one, but this electric silver 2008 checked all the boxes for me!
Congrats Andrew! Do you know offhand those numbers for the valve body and intake issues?
@@DavidBello if you look at the first part of the serial number of the transmission, you would look for a number beginning with 06J and above. These would have the updated valve body that seems to avoid the issues.
I am less certain of the cutoff for the counter balance issue, but here is a great article from FCP Euro blog on this issue: blog.fcpeuro.com/the-dark-side-of-volvos-excellent-v8
I think this is a pretty rare issue, and you would know if you had it. Keep in mind that these are very rare (maybe around 700 per year) cars and there is a very fervent following for these cars for very good reasons. As long as you do the maintenance on them, they are fantastic, and congratulations to you on finding and taking great care of this fine specimen
Thanks for the info! Someone added a Trans cooler so it's been worked on before, no doubt. Was your center console hinge broken? Mines a bit stiff on opening. I wonder if I should oil it or its normal and doesn't need service
Very nice 👍 I just replaced the valve cover gaskets on mine recently. 14 hr job, had to also replace pcv hoses in the process but its totally worth it for that v8.
How bad was the condition of the pcv? Is it as likely to gum up as the other volvo engines?
I have a 2007 V8 model. Once those valve cover gaskets go bad, you will lose oil like crazy! It is a long job and is quite difficult. My PCV hose wasn't in too bad of a shape but these engines do run pretty hot and it was dried out and brittle.
@@DavidBello the valve itself seems more reliable and less likely to fail quickly on the v8 but the rubber hoses were definitely turned to plastic on mine. I would replace the valve and its hoses as preventative maintenance.
@@clintgriffin8310 I've gotta do mine soon. I don't have any leaks but I'm at 160,000km.
What is the worst part? I just don't want to remove the drive belt to remove the power steering again as I replaced it 20,000km ago with pump/belt/tensioner.
Is there anything else scary?
@@alexj6408 Mine started leaking at 170,000. It is very time consuming just because of all the little bolts you have to remove. Disconnecting the rear coil packs and fuel lines was the hardest part in my opinion due to the lack of room to work. I never had to mess with the belts so don't worry about that. Since you will have it all apart you might as well replace your intake manifold gaskets too as that will be the one and only time you'll get to do it.
You need to get the rear window wiper nut cover. I had to get one to hide the nut, looks better and complete now...
I had to bring the car to the dealer to have them replace the cabin filter. The larger filter was a pain to get out and forget putting in a new one, the dealer has more experience with twist and push..
Just put one in my shopping cart today at FCP euro. Also had the driver sprayer stuck shut and washer pump develop a leak
I wish I had videoed the the in car transmission valve body overhaul I did on my daughters 06 XC90 V8. It can be done without pulling the transmission.
First time to watch this channel, and I appreciate your video.
If there is need to change the freon/the A/C doesn't cool as it should be, consider changing with R-152a/duster. It is compatible with R-134a systems, will not swell O Rings and works better than R-134a, especially on Highway and on old cars with R12 systems.
I had my old S80 changed with R152a and I can notice the difference how fast it can cool the cabin when in high speed.
I don't know why you think that R152a (Never even seen it available) should be better than R134a.....I can get almost "ice cold" air from my vents 5°C with an ambient of 23°C at an idling engine speed, (with cabin air on recirculate.)
(Always check the cabin air filter: Any restriction here will impair efficiency.)
The compressor clutch will eventually go into a "cycling" mode as the evaporator is simply getting too cold. At that point, of course, you go to fresh air input, and the cycling of the clutch stops.
I can see no valid reason to switch to R152a.
@@patagualianmostly7437 Oh I think your situation is not comparable with me. In my place it is 40°C in summer, and my car had to park under the sun, it is not uncommon to see 60°C+ in the interior. I filled my car with R152a(which is duster in USA) and the car cools faster than when it was filled with R134a. I am always in recirculate mode and change my cabin filter once per year to optimize the performance. And sometimes I even spray water onto the condenser for better cooling. One of the most overlooked advantages of R152a is that it swells o-rings the least among common refrigerants, and provide identical performance to R12 gas. Thus it will be the best replacements for R12 system.
Love your collection! How is the P2 XC90 to live with in terms of space and comfort?
I’m not a general fan of crossovers/SUV’s, but a P2 XC90 facelift has always looked stunning in my eyes.
Can’t afford to run a V8 over here sadly as fuel prices are sky high.
Do own a P2 V70 D5 and I love it to bits. Got it cheap and it’s in real good condition for being a 2002 model wtih almost 250000 miles on the clock. Little to no rust as well, previous owners (I’m the 3rd owner of the car) took great care of it. Live in Norway and we salt quite bad here in winter.
You make all of these repairs look like a piece of cake!! Where did you gain all of this mechanic knowledge and skill?? I’d love to be able to do all of these things myself! 😄
If you have the following:
Ears that listen.
Eyes that see.
A mouth that only asks pertinent questions.
You will learn.
@@patagualianmostly7437 yeah, I'm looking for some kind of course in my area since I don't know any mechanics to learn from with hands-on practice. I'm only finding long-term certification programs for people who want to actually become mechanics; I wish I could just take a class or two to get the basics down pat.
Hi Mr.David I am a proud father of two we love and appreciate your videos I also own a 07 Volvo Xc90 V8 Sport my mechanical baby and only car at the moment. I ran out of transmission fluid coming home from work and it gets worse my car was randomly vandalized.. through Gods Grace and Mercy I was able to find a mechanic who would do the job but at a price, he would do the bondo treatment paint job and installation of the windshield and sunroof only for the electrical modules to shut off ever since my sweet and daring Volvo has been down from running out of gas mid traffic to no warning for the low content of transmission fluid and idk where or how to start doing my own electrical jobs for our baby I ran diagnostic that's how I knew about the ECM now the transmission isn't destroyed severely I don't think but I dont know how to put any fluid in and where to find fluid besides taking to dealership and I read something about having to go under vehicle like you did in your video Bottom line I need Jesus for this repair I dont want it sitting I just want to wash my car go to the gas station top it off go back to work again any suggestions? Also what are you naming your V8 and I like Bruce a Classic Beast Bro My V8's name is Onyx Till next vid stay safe take care of yourself and your family thanks for hearing me out.
Hi There David, awesome Video, As Steward asked, where can we get those floor mats from buddy?
I did a coilover conversion from Ceika on my XC90 with a 2 inch drop, drilled and slotted rotors, 5.1 brake fluid, S60 steering wheel swap, valve cover gaskets, left, right, and top engine mounts, pcv hose, superpro end links for the front, whiteline end links in the rear, resonator delete with a OBX Harpoon muffler, also replaced the tires with Achilles Desert Hawk UHP 255/55r18's.
Do these tires fit good? I have a 2005 Volvo XC90 V8 with 18' and want to go wider on the tires but the manufacturer recommends 235/55/18.
What is your experience with those tires?...Thanks in advance
@@aldoescalona744 I use 255/55r18 on mine. It may rub if you go wider than that.
@@aldoescalona744 it does feel better on the road as well.
@@clintgriffin8310 thanks man, I will give it shot with 255's
@@aldoescalona744 The 255 tires are about the same price as well!
Thanks for this video. Have had this car for 4 years (non-sport). 234k on it and running great. I get a strange clunk when backing up and turning right. Replaced the strut mount, end links and subframe bushings. Also replaced the tie rods, ball joints and control arm bushings. I am suspecting the sway bar bushings at the frame.
Check axle bolts also. Did you replace the strut mount bearings along with the upper rubber spring seat?
Did the bearings. I have heard about the axle bolt ping on the p2’s, I’ll look into that more.
@@dsrosser That and also lower control arm bolts need replacing with new ones as the stretch. I still get a clunk as I havent replaced mine.
@@alexj6408 I bet that’s it. It sounds like it is coming from there and I just replaced the bushings on the control arms and not the whole thing so I reused the bolts! Thanks for the tip!
I really like this video.
Very informative and interesting. Very good explanationation in what you are doing (every steps...).
Thanks... 😁
I somehow have almost 230k miles on my 2004 XC90 T6 with the terrible GM transmission. Original transmission still shifts almost perfect, and hasn't exactly been babied.
I always wondered if the fears of the GM transmission failures were a little overblown. I have a 2000 S80 T6 with 270,000 miles and the transmission has never skipped a beat. Same engine and GM transmission as in the T6 XC90s.
@@FlyingPilot2012 It seems they fail early or not at all
How have you maintained the fluid. They seem super sensitive to not having it changed on time
@@ethand4900 Absolutely no fluid change until about 160k. That's when we found out one of the freeze plugs in the CV shafts had failed and was getting grease into the tranny it didn't love that, but with multiple fluid changes and a new filter it was back to normal. I just changed the fluid again at right about 230k and did a transfix accumulator spring modification making it shift faster. I'm not gonna say that it doesn't have it's hiccups every now and then but for the most part it's good.
Another great video, David! I’ve got to do a few of these things on my XC90 V8 Sport (identical to yours but in titanium gray with the 20” wheels). Would you mind sharing all the parts and part numbers on a document of some sort? I’ve also been meaning to swap the emblem on the rear as well. Thanks!!!
The inner and outer pads are different- the clips are smaller on one side so be careful
Dear David Bello.
👍👌👏 Very well done again and as always. 2) Have you won some money in the lottery? Or why changing perfectly fine front brake rotors and pads? No necessarity for doing so. Nevertheless:
Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you (including the very skinny guy).
The front brakes were very dusty and I needed to get past a certain dollar amount to get free shipping so it came out to an okay price. Plus the money saved on the lower selling price after transmission scare paid for it all.
Thanks for joining on another video :)
You are in for," XC90" pure hell.X- stands for," extra,c- Cruel x 90...
That Yamaha V8 sounds amazing, but it seems these sumos are too heavy for it. It seems to accelerate slower than a stock V70R.

I see a 2007 exactly like years with about 72k miles for sale at $11,500. I asked if they’d do $10k out the door and they said yes. What do you think? I wish I would’ve went even lower since they said yea so quickly.
What kind of engine oil are you running?
That fire wall is actually a heat sheld that can be removed.
Hi Davis, here it´s Alex from Mexico. I have a 2001 v70XC with some electrical issues in the CEM Module. Noone here in Puerto Escondido can fix it and the car is in perfect mechanicall conditions. Any sugestion? Volvo Mexico told to take the car to Mexico city but thats impossible for me. I know that are some simulators that can read the Cem but I still need someone to reprograme the CEM.... hope to get the car to the streets again. Thanks for your videos

la Volvo xc90 es un vehículo fantástico para todo terreno Volvo
Hello, I am from Lagos, Nigeria and plan on purchasing a 2006 Volvo XC90 2.5T. What do you advice I look out for when purchasing and how to properly maintain it to avoid problems with the SUV? I would really appreciate feedback to my enquiry as I am a new driver. Thank you.
Hi David , I have an option of 2014 xc90 run for only 27000km Redesign. Getting for around 12.5k USD , u think should I go for it.
The thing which is bothering me is will it have any repairs sooner, as in here , very few people go for Volvo.
I want to know whether xc90 are stable, and after what km running does the problems starts. Maybe your answer will help me in my decision for purchase.., Thx
I couldn’t tell you when to expect problems but the 2014 cars look beautiful and are still relatively new so you can expect them to be a little more reliable. That’s part of the success of the long production run when the rest of the fleet was already moving on by 2010
It has the aisin transmission?
What year you have?
link for breaks?
What size rotors did you use for the rear ?
It's got 308mm rear discs
What kind of gas mileage are you getting, David? Do you have to use premium gas with these engines?
I use premium 91 octane only. Volvo says it can run on regular 87 but recommend premium. with higher mileage and anecdotal stories about potentially gumming up the engine components or the reduced fuel economy, it’s worth the extra $4-6 per tank to ensure cleaner operation and possibly higher economy. My economy is 14 city and 20 highway.

Never flush. Drain fluid, fill, drive 50-100 miles...repeat 1-3 times until u see nuthin' but fairly clean tranny fluid.
Somebody had put in a trans cooler and it was still giving problems? Did the previous owner ever change the trans fluid? Volvo's maintenance schedule is BS...ALL transmissions need regular fluid changes. Also, use leatherique for the seats; it's pricey but completely worth it
Did you change your trans fluid?
Yes that fixed the codes
Is it a 2001-2002 XC90?
well its a volvo engine its just manufactured by yamaha. its engineered and designed by volvo
I am pleased you call it a park brake and not an E brake, because the braking capacity of them is not fit for any emergency. Simply compare the actual specs of the braking system and compare that with the park brake and you will see it make sense only as a means of holding a vehicle in a stationary position and not an alternative to the standard system for an emergency. I have never understood why Americans refer to park brakes as E brakes, unless the E stands for something else. I like your vids, so I will sunscribe. When I lived in Australia, I had a 940 turbo, a 960 and also a V70, all wagons.
The "emergency brake" term likely comes from a safety requirement in the event that the hydraulic braking system were to fail. There's a completely independent mechanically linked system to use in that case of "emergency".
$70 for a state inspection, Jesus man. I'm in Massachusetts for comparison and a state inspection is $30.
It was only $15 when I lived in New Mexico. The “free retest” still cost me $30. They just waived the state fee. 😡
@@DavidBello tax tax tax. The one thing all states agree on.
I'm from Alaska! We don't have inspections! XD
All I see on CL is XC90s with transmission problems... Main reason I don't want to get one because they are so nice.
Buy one cheap and keep $3,000 around for a swap 🤣that's what I'm doing
All I plan to do is a valve body swap on mine. 650 bucks to have a transmission shop do it and 4 to 6 hours of sitting around. I am hunting for a cooler at the moment. The V8 models didn't have coolers and the 08 and older models had soft valve body material so the bores would get worn out which causes downshift slams and shift flares usually between 2nd and 3rd which is what mine is doing.
@@clintgriffin8310 go to junkyards all the xc90 D5 came with a cooler but v8 somehow didn't
More for me.
Hi what transmission is on it. Isit alsin transmission
6 speed automatic TF80SC by Aisin
@@DavidBello thanks from dubai. Isit worth buying this car. Isit reliable for long run. Are parts easily available n what common issues do these have.
What year is the XC90 V8?
That V8 Sport was between '06 and '09
I have had almost all real volvos but never the V8 and XC90 i SAS the Amazon they are fantastic cars.DS real volvos is built in Sweden not Belgium or Netherland.
Need to replace lower taillight housing lol. Moisture has gotten in and made it look horrible
Still in Suspense about the purchase price of the Volvo...🤔🤔🤔
4,800 in the condition it was needing strut mounts, rear brakes, all fluids changed, etc.
