XC90 T8 Mania Turn-in

As I enter the last 6 months of my insanely-cheap XC90 T8+ lease, I’m aware that getting into another one for the same $$ is not likely. I’m curious to know what others in my situation are thinking of doing.

Will you lease another XC90 for $150-200 more per mo or get into something else.

If you’re getting something else, what will it be?

My wife would jump into another one, but she will have to settle for the hand down GLC in Oct (I may extend for one month).

It’s been a good car for us. I really wouldn’t have minded if it had been a 36 month lease.

Even if the war in the Middle East keeps driving up prices, I don’t imagine buying this one out will be worth it. I’ve really enjoyed driving (mostly) electric, I wouldn’t hesitate getting into something else electric or PHEV. Curious what the deals will be around that time, if any.

I don’t think you will get that same build for even less than $400 more a month. Cheapest T8 I have seen is still $800ish a month. I would have turned mine in already with pull ahead. My dad is super over miles on his so just “cheaper” to pay the miles than paying more a month on a new one

How difficult is it to extend a VFS lease?

They don’t extend it unless you waiting for factory order

What is your payment that you’re considering paying an additional ~$200/mo??

A minivan is inevitable for us given 3 kids 5 and under. Though, the XC-90 has worked reasonably well for us with 3 car seats across the 2nd row. It will be our first purchase in a while, and suspect the wife will want to drive the minivan for 5+ years. With that in mind, I wish the timing was better. The sienna has hybrid and AWD, but is likely a year away from a major upgrade (upgraded safety tech, interior, etc.). Though, with the way Sienna’s hold their value, wouldn’t be surprised if I pulled the trigger this fall on one, and then trade in if/when the replacement comes 1-2 years later. Could go with carnival, but I’d prob want to swap out winters each year.

$306/mo with inceptions & MSDs DAS

Annoying. I was thinking putting in an order for a car that will take forever and possible get 6 months? Bail on order obviously lol

If I dont end up getting another XC90, probably will try to hack a demo GLE

Nice try. They don’t extend for more than 3 months no matter what lol

Someone on Volvo forums said they got 6 months on some build that dealer said 9-12 months to get. I was going off that lol

What takes 9-12 months? I didnt realize there were any rare or in demand Volvos that take that long lol

Lies. I got 6 months once, but it was in 2006
6 months extension with 9-12 months wait doesn’t help, does it? Lol

Even this dealer saying 6 months lol. Get off my case, I am going off google

I assume maybe the new EX60 might since they haven’t touch down yet if you want some weird options

Since when you started believing dealers? :grin:

LOL facts, you got me there!

I am in the same boat here, LOVE the XC90 T8 plugin hybrid – the space and the room the car has. But there is literally NOTHING out there that gets me a sub $500/mo payment with the type of space this vehicle has with the luxury… I am really concerned about turning my car in this fall!
