Should have posted on Swede speed. They actually buy new cars.
Naaa man. I want two more years out of the XC90 then she wants a Tahoe. Tahoes are sort of thing with her family and they last a long time and are reliable.
100% true! 200k+ is nothing to an LS engine.
IMO get a used Escalade as it is sooo much more car for the money vs a Tahoe. The larger 6.2 engine is worth it alone. At least ensure you get the electromagnetic suspension vs base steel/rear air.
... I tried to justify a used Tahoe Z71, but for the same price the Cayenne S was better in every category. No 3rd row needed so that was a non-issue. My only regret is not spending a little bit more for a Turbo version.
Adding: If reliability is your #1 goal then a GM SUV is very very hard to beat. Our current 2010 ESV has 194k and going strong. Our old 2005 ESV we sold to a friend is about 300k and still going strong. So yes, hard to beat.
Is there another Volvo dealer or a Volvo friendly mechanic you can take it to for a second opinion? I would be hesitant to replace the ECU if that's just a shot in the dark on their part.
Learn to do voltage drop testing on your Taho cables too. :wink. The negative cable goes bad and can cause intermittent no cranks.
