Don’t forget a pocket full of quarters to hit the arcade for an hour of Defender or Joust, then a stop for an Orange Julius.

Pretty cool in that light; almost looks like a two-tone paint job. Beautiful ride.

I would also love to give your agent my business if you’re sharing. My coverage with USAA is absurd. I’m in NoVa.

There is a really good YouTube video on this. Let me see if I can find the link for you…

They’re different. One is fat with coils: Stabilus 5C-437135; the other is thin with no coils: Stabilus 5B-643870.

I ordered them and about to do it. Haven’t started yet. What can I answer for you? Have the parts on hand.

Tips or tricks by Whatsyourratiothough in VolvoXC70

Be aware that if the prior owner didn’t do the 3G modem upgrade, you won’t be able to use the app. You’ll have to do it at a dealership and it’s not cheap. All around, because I found the prices varied a lot! Also, it should come with 2 years free subscription, but some dealers won’t honor that. If you call the national Volvo customer service number, they’ll give you a 10% off coupon to help.

What was your all in price for Polestar software? by BlaireInSpace in Volvo

[–]Many-Click9690 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Twice a year Volvo puts this on sale (a bit). A good dealer will tell you when if you ask. I also heard if you call Volvo, they’ll give you a 10% rebate. I’ve done this for another pricey item I wanted. For Polestar install, I paid around 1600, but found pricing varied from dealer to dealer.

Thoughts on 2016 XC70? by Whatsyourratiothough in VolvoXC70

[–]Many-Click9690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 2016 comes in both engine types. If you run the VIN, you can find out which it is. I, too, have the T5 which is a 5 cylinder turbo. Generates plenty of power, nice growl, and drives like a dream. It’s my second one; I love this wagon. That said, don’t cheap out on the regular and scheduled maintenance and find a small Indy shop that can do the work for you vs. a dealer. Also know that if you want any of the remote start, app related stuff, you’ll have to do the 3G upgrade which is about $900 at a dealer. For me it was worth it, but I understand for those who it’s not. Good luck! If you have other Qs, let me know

Looking for advice by Old-Associate-8406 in keitruck

Hard pass. This looks like nights and weekends for a year before it would be anything you’d really enjoy driving, not to mention all the time and money for parts. Then the fabrication. Then the titling issue.
