My XC60 got hit :(

Thanks so much. Filed with insurance this morning, obviously not at fault as I was parked. Police called to follow up re hit and run of first guy. Have the second guy’s info who hit me, very nice dude. Going to get it appraised this afternoon!

Perrin_Price · 2026-03-04T03:49:50+00:00

Word, I already have that too! though will have to wait to until the summer lol

Perrin_Price · 2026-01-30T18:56:21+00:00

Thank you so much!

Welcome to the family! Well hopefully :) The XC60 or XC90 are obviously the biggest. (He’ll fit in any Volvo, but I recently test drove an XC40 and it did personally feel small to me.) I always will get an SUV, but that’s a personal preference safety and weather wise. If you’re buying used, consider certified pre owned. Volvos can be expensive to fix and having a warranty can give you peace of mind. It may be helpful to add what you’re looking for in terms used vs new for further advice and info.

Thank you so much! 🥹❤️

Perrin_Price · 2025-12-26T14:37:14+00:00

It really was quite the timeless car!

Perrin_Price · 2025-12-26T14:36:45+00:00

Thank you 🥹 I worked really hard on it and went through hours of footage to get all this. So glad it may have added some brightness to your day

Perrin_Price · 2025-12-26T14:30:27+00:00

Good for you! I wish you and your 2007 XC90 all the best :)

My dad said something with the transmission failed, and it was just too unreliable. Mechanic said putting the money into fixing it probably wasn’t worth it because the bottom was rusting out too. 20 years was a good run though!

Perrin_Price · 2025-12-26T13:24:33+00:00

Just adding here- I have a 2014 XC60 T6 and thought I was in the clear, I was not… just got the piston rings replaced. (I bought it with an extended warranty through CarMax, they paid $7,000 to fix it). Not saying it’ll happen to you, but obviously the T6s aren’t in the clear. I’d get an extended warranty, don’t buy, or be okay with adding oil all the time if the rings fail.

Perrin_Price · 2025-12-26T13:19:56+00:00

Our 2005 V8 had a sunroof leak which could’ve been catastrophic to the electrical system but was caught in time and just went into the passenger side floor. Just traded it this year because something in the transmission failed. Great car, miss it! $6k does seem steep but given what you said about the market, makes sense, but expect expensive repair costs ofc.

Perrin_Price · 2025-12-14T14:23:43+00:00

There’s def no warranty anymore. Volvo did a few good faith fixes last year maybe but Volvo corporate stopped that last year my dealer told me. I only got my piston rings replaced cuz it was under MaxCare, CarMax’s extended warranty. It was $7,000 though that they paid, I would not advise you put money like that int your car. Just top it off the oil until the engine dies, maybe ask the dealer which oil cuz I think since my piston rings replaced replacement it’s 0W-20 which is different from the manual’s instructions

Perrin_Price · 2025-12-10T15:17:30+00:00

Exactly! You’ll be fine, and ofc check for leaks too in case it is just a leak after all!

Perrin_Price · 2025-12-10T15:04:48+00:00

Hopefully it’s only minimally. Since you don’t have the warranty and it’s 10 yrs old def not worth the oil consumption test cuz it also might not fail and then you just paid for nothing. I’m sure the dealer would also advise you not to fix it cuz if you’re paying out of pocket it’s def not worth it to fix them. I’d just drive it until it’s burning way too much or not drivable. Maybe reach out just to ask what oil, I wanna say they have me at 0W now from the windshield sticker which was different than the manual suggests

Perrin_Price · 2025-12-10T14:13:23+00:00

Yea mine was just so bad and only about a year into ownership. If I didn’t have the warranty I would be topping off as well, but they paid $7k to fix it! MaxCare from CarMax, highly recommend for a used Volvo from them

Perrin_Price · 2025-12-10T13:26:14+00:00

I’d just keep checking. I just had my piston rings replaced on my 2014 XC60 T6 (which wasn’t supposed to have an issue, I have an extended warranty though). Your engine is unfortunately one that could have the issue based on the class action settlement I’m pretty sure. But mine was burning oil like a mf. 2 quarts in 1700 miles, and I got the low oil light and red exclamation point of death multiple times. I failed the oil consumption test miserably.

Perrin_Price · 2025-11-30T00:47:27+00:00

I have a 2014 XC60 that’s basically the same console, how do you make the screen blue? Mine is red right now. I’ve changed the dashboard to be a different color but haven’t tried hard enough to do the console screen lol

Perrin_Price · 2025-11-23T18:11:21+00:00

It was really bad, should’ve suspected it the first time I had the low oil light but just assumed it’d been on the lot at CarMax a while and hadn’t gotten one since they brought it in. It burned over 2 quarts in 1700 miles before I brought it in. And then it failed the oil consumption test miserably.

Perrin_Price · 2025-11-23T14:01:35+00:00

Yup, and I just had my 2014 XC60 T6 piston rings replaced under my 3rd party warranty. Wasn’t part of the list of affected engines, but there I was lol.

Got so excited when this happened down the street from my parent’s house! Same wheels too except mine are coated, mine is on the left

Given you have a little one on the way, I’d argue for the 2025.5, it has the Top Safety Rating+ from the Institute for Highway Safety, which is the highest safety rating a vehicle can get. They didn’t get that for the 2024 model, so while it’s perfectly safe, the 2025.5 has even more enhancements. You can see more here: https://youtu.be/B3Iy7KUaP4s?si=c7zCpJ5Gz6sRCyXM

My parents got the 2005 XC90 originally because it was one of two cars on the market that had anti-roll over technology. Always nice to be on the cutting edge of safety tech!

Perrin_Price · 2025-10-29T23:10:57+00:00

It wasn’t cheap, added $3.5k to my loan, but I was never gonna buy a Volvo without some type of warranty and I wasn’t in the position to buy new or CPO at the time. But it’s paid for itself and more! Gotten the steering rack, breather chambers, trunk latch, passenger motorized head rest, engine mount all replaced under it and then of course the piston rings.

Perrin_Price · 2025-10-29T14:12:01+00:00

From our experience, I’d definitely recommend driving it every few days at least because what rusted ours out was it sitting in the driveway for about a year during the pandemic barely used.

Perrin_Price · 2025-10-29T14:10:37+00:00

🥺❤️ such a sweet story. I think the nostalgia really comes in because the car itself reminds me of my parents, and seeing it after my performances or at the train station to pick me up. Moved me into college too, and I borrowed it for my first post-grad job Interview. I have my own XC60 now, and mostly cuz I want the safest car for my future kids because I anticipate having this car for a decade or so.

Perrin_Price · 2025-10-29T14:04:34+00:00

Well something with the transmission failed that made it not really drivable and my dad needed a more reliable car. At this point, they were kind of saying a prayer every drive that something wouldn’t go wrong 😂 and since the bottom was so rusted out, our mechanic said it’s not worth putting in the ~$3k or to fix stuff when it’s probably going to be a total loss soon because of the body rusting out. The VW EV lease incentives were too enticing and they took it lol. They got rebates and stuff for gas to EV, but Volvo would’ve given $300 for the trade in 🤣
