truth be known - we may be buying a CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) 2002 BMW X5 cuz volvo dealers suck A** and want full MSRP for their XC90's....they don't even resale the same as Benz/BMW!!
figured out we could purchase a 2002 X5 for *LESS* than a new XC90 AWD - and we wouldn't lose the "drive off the lot depreciation"...
too bad - as much as I really want that volvo, i'm not paying MSRP!! maybe i'll get it in another lifetime eh?!

I'm a satisfied owner of a 1993 Volvo 850, its been in the family ever since we owned it and it drives just as good as it did 10 years ago. Volvos are quality automobiles, lets hope the new influence Ford has on Volvo (Ford owns Volvo now) doesn't hurt Volvo quality.
On another note, the reason why XC90's hardly ever sell below MSRP is because they are such a hit and are in big demand. The XC90 won a bunch of awards and supposedly is a really good SUV. I guess its just a simple matter of supply and demand.
