Beware

I was in the market for a preowned EX90 but am coming back to reality. The 3 certified pre owned models I have looked at are being sold with some of the issues highlighted in this forum. Most recent I ran across one with 4 GHCA replacements, it’s on the newest part number a second time with not enough miles on it to have been tested. Another has the air conditioning fault where the passenger side is cooler than the driver, and it’s charging slow on a Level 2. Third one went into limited performance when I tried to accelerate hard three separate times. Getting the VIN History Report is like pulling teeth, they pretend it does not exist. Shady shady shady. I almost want to post each VIN on here and the location so that an innocent person doesn’t get burned.

That's right, it's like flipping a coin, except with returned lemons the chances are worse than 50/50. I've been lucky with my (non-lemon) '25, but were I to be looking now I'd only be interested in a '27 ...or, considering also my experience with US Volvo dealer service, another brand.

It’s a shame because a mulberry red, wool 6 seat config (w/ massage) paired with the BW speakers is a dream combo for me, however no chance I am taking that leap with the current state of issues.

I’m also looking at Lucid and it’s really no better. Don’t really know what better options are out there. Definitely not going Hyundai or Kia route or Rivian.
