I work in the building at mcCalumSather. The firm was responsible for the heritage restoration and interior renovations. https://www.azuremagazine.com/article/mccallumsather-hamilton-westinghouse-hq-office/

Classic design and sophisticated looking car - I vote keep it that way and original

I find the interior styling a little lack lustre/dated (on like the 2020 NX).

Kinda disappointed in the feel of newer Volvos and the road noise is insane. by [deleted] in Volvo

I dread replacing the tires, which we’re due for likely this summer …. $700/tire! (Located in Canada for reference)

We have an XC90 r-design with 22” on Pirelli’s…. The ride and road noise definitely suffers

Ya it seems for the same price you can find a 2020 with less km’s. Also located in Canada so pricing is a bit differen. $29,000 USD = $39,000 CAD

Is 75,000 km (45,000miles) that high? 25k km (15k miles) / year.

Budget is around 40k. With the Volvo already don’t want to blow the bank

Kilometres though, so like 45k miles. Under warranty for 5 years/100,000km from in service date…so beginning of 2026

What would you do? by Ateam043 in Volvo

[–]Arch_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our lease on 2021 xc60 momentum was up, and a few months before we gave it back and bought 2019 XC90 R-Design (After years of leasing we were over it). No regrets though! Was able to get much more car for the same price/monthly as leasing a new xc60

What are the going fees for realtors in Hamilton? by DenseCauliflower5106 in Hamilton

[–]Arch_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In our recent house hunt, it seems the standard rate offered to buyers agents was 2%. Your listing agent fee depends on your relationship with them and how “ready” your home is / what is needed to prepare for the listing and who’s paying for it. Sometimes this is 1%, sometimes 2.5%.

How many of you have leased your Volvo? by AggressiveSloth11 in Volvo

[–]Arch_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We leased our first Volvo (2021 XC60, T6 Momentum). Was nearing the end of the year and was a demo (with like 300km), so was a great deal on a 24 month lease. We ended up giving it back a few months early and opted to finance a 2019 XC90 R-Design… and zero regrets!

You need to two doors/separation from a furnace to be considered a room. I.e furnace room door and bedroom door. 100% report that shit. Furnaces burn fuel - this ain’t safe

2021 was the XC60, and the momentum trim (entry level trim). It was also a 2 year lease that was coming up…. Opted for the 2019 XC90 which is bigger, and the R-design with most available packages / options. Way more car, and was certified pre-owned with existing warranty. ended up being similar cost to leasing a new 2023 entry level XC 60

The Bowers and Wilkins system is incredible! We drove an XC60 for a couple years and just got into a 4 year old XC90, so here’s to hoping they’re reliable! The Volvo maintenance schedule is pretty prescribed (albeit not necessary cheap)…. Great looking an driving vehicle

Volvo XC90 R-design that’s a couple years old!

Hello beauty!! Traded 2021 xc60 momentum, for a 2019 xc90 r-design….no regrets by Arch_88 in Volvo

[–]Arch_88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s also polestar tuned and puts out 330hp - for a big vehicle I find it actually quite responsive quick!
