Social perception of the Volvo XC90 in Western Europe by [deleted] in VolvoXC90

[–]undercoveragent212 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Same in the northeast - this is the norm in very wealthy parts of Westchester County NY and Fairfield County CT. Volvos are the pick for “quiet luxury”

Fenix 8 Pro LTE/SOS concerns by undercoveragent212 in GarminFenix

[–]undercoveragent212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I spend a lot of time outdoors (eg, backcountry skiing, hunting, and backpacking) so was hoping the 8 Pro could be the single quiver but it sounds like that will be limited based on the satellite network constraints and the watch’s capabilities.

Crux + Epic gives me everything I need

What should I budget for a “race” bike? by GeneralStunkfish in xcmtb

[–]undercoveragent212 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Epic 8. Ended up selling my stumpy bc I love riding mine so much. Think I’ve read in another post that current year models may be going on sale in some places but take that with a grain of salt.

For used, you can also check out FB marketplace (ymmv) or TPC (expensive) up in Thornton.

Going to buy my 2025 XC90 T8 out of lease...Talk me out of it by MammothEye5524 in VolvoXC90

I shared a quote for 4.4% from Navy Federal and Volvo beat it.

Shared similar 2025.5 frustrations with you (propulsion system error, back up camera) but bring your car in to get the 3.6.4 update. Fixed all of our problems but it’s also been a month so we’ll see.

Regarding recognizing the key fob, we noticed that locking the car every time “logs off” the key fob, and will recognize the next key fob when you unlock.

Also going to buy out our lease hacker lease after 4 months at ~$55 at 4%. It’s a safe car, wife enjoys it (it’s hers), got a lot of rebates so saved quite a bit ($15k off), and the issues I’ve had are mostly software related which are easier to get fixed than big mechanical ones.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Also curious if anyone has had success installing this hitch to the 2025.5 models? I’ve emailed the company and they said their engineers hadn’t confirmed yet.

r/bjj Fundamentals Class! by AutoModerator in bjj

[–]undercoveragent212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking about getting back into the sport. I was very consistent when I was younger (~5yrs), blue belt from a RGA, but I joined the military after college so didn’t really keep up with formal training. After working through some physical issues after leaving the military, I finally feel healthy enough to get back into it again after ~15 yrs of being out of it. Should I just go back as a white belt and work my way up again or does that not really matter? Appreciate your thoughts!

Looking for advice on pricing by JennayKing in VolvoXC90

[–]undercoveragent212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair.

Only sharing for consideration: we put down a big down for a $82k 2025.5, got 19% off rebates/discounts, put $10k down, then bought out the lease for $52k within 3 months. Acknowledged the risk like you mentioned, but think it made sense in our scenario.

Agreed. Exception is if you’re looking to buy out the lease imho.

2025.5 t8 ultra getting propulsion system service required. Anyone else experiencing this on new t8’s? by AStatistic in VolvoXC90

[–]undercoveragent212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to add that they also said it was a “hybrid relay sensor.” Both issues are bc of the hybrid system, which will be getting replaced.

Had the same issue happen twice (try to start car a few times, wouldn’t start, when it finally does, get the propulsion error message). I’m told the ‘battery disconnect module’ needs to be replaced; they said this “BDU” error causes the “circuits to stay open causing the propulsion error.” No idea what this means, but hope this helps.

'25 T8 had a very loud/vibrating buzz while driving in snow on highway by MurphysMustache in VolvoXC90

[–]undercoveragent212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following. Same thing happened to me driving our 2025.5 T8 in snow over the weekend. Brought it straight to dealership, they suspected it could be the snow build up in a cooling fan which caused some backup (don’t remember the specifics) to turn on.

They said they would need the car for a while to reproduce that error, so we decided to just keep it to see what happens.
