BlackForcesonyman
I plan to get a new Volvo.

May I know how much the price for normal service and maintenance?
And the service interval? I heard it's every 20K KM. Not really sure.
What about the price for parts? i.e. shock absorber, break pad, engine mounting?

Any input is welcome. Thanks.

Anyone bought S60 the newest model ?

My brother going to book at july and he is confused whether there is a newer model coming out ?

you can look at volvo selkt at glenmarie, got a couple of S80 there. mainly preowned and preregistered.

if can wait and afford, then better to wait. otherwise if you dont need the new model, you can always save some money getting the old one.

what model you plan to get, every model is different but those major stuff, i got no idea, but regular maintenance yes.

Thats the thing ..... The news say there will be new S60 but do not know whether it will arive in malaysia or not

V40 T5.

How old is your car? You haven't changed parts like breakpad, engine mounting, shock absorbers etc?
Please let me know parts that you've changed.

Do advise price for regular maintenance and the maintenance interval.
Thanks.

no worries babe, the New S60's are already in Shah alam Volvo plant, i have seen them.

But Volvo probably will launch one after another. XC 60 first, then S60 with V60 togather.

Nice i will let my brother know about this

thanks

none yet, cause it is a 3 year old car. Mostly maintenance. But only the battery RM 780.00 per piece.

Any other item is fuse RM20.00. V40 T5 probably maybe better. For regular maintenance expect about 950.00 to 2500 per 20K KM service.

Anyway if you are getting the V40 T5, you dont need to worry about service cause it is free. So Why bother, plus any issue with breakpad, engine mounting and absorbers are all in the warranty.

Thanks for your feedback.

For the bold statement, do you mean V40 T5 has free service? It includes free parts like breakpad, engine mounting and absorbers?
May I know how many years of free service?

you getting new right? so you should get a 5 5 5 package, 5 y free service, 5 y warranty and 5 year oncall.

Yes, I'm getting a new car.

The 555 package that you mentioned is the standard warranty or it's an extended warranty?
If it's an extended warranty, I'd presume it will cost additional.
If I need to pay for the additional, do you have any idea how much it costs?

no, all new volvo cars sold in Malaysia now comes with a 555 package. So if you getting new, no issue, but to double check, you can always go to glenmarie to find out, else call up and get a salesperson to bring the V40 T5 to you at your home to test drive.

Yes you can do that. if you are really keen in the car. But i must say, getting a V40, you will never regret it. its a bloody nice looking car.

Noted. Thanks for your advice.

The "555" seems good.
I'd consider S60 if I'm not "haunted" by the part replacement cost.

Will call the local salesperson to find out more details.

respect you choices. They are all great cars. But as you know s60 is coming out with new model, and make sure you get the T5 with ACC, else its just another car.

but the 555 does not include wear and tear parts, right?

They replace my engine mounting, no question asked.

sonyman, i've been checking around a few showroom , SA told me that the new s60 will only launch middle next year...
cud u confirm you already saw the batch of new s60 at the Shah Alam plant??
