Used Volvo for Sale in Woodbridge, VA

About 3 months ago, I bought a car from Maurice at AMG and had a great experience. We didn’t get to the dealership until about fifteen minutes after their posted closing hours and expected to just see the car from a distance. However, Maurice who had just finished locking up, took the time to show us where the car, a 2015 Lexus IS250, was parked and to talk to us about it. We promised to come back the next day for a test drive. We felt that Maurice was very professional and friendly and was really knowledgeable about the cars on the lot. From our first interaction with him to our final dealings with the paperwork it was a positive experience. We had minor concerns (slight discoloration on the steering wheel, and only one key for the car) but both were addressed. Maurice scheduled us with their upholsterer to make repairs to the steering wheel and was able to help us coordinate with a key maker who provided same day service. We were very happy with Maurice and AMG and they will definitely see us again when it’s time for our next car purchase.

Drove a XC90 R-Design and liked this vehicle a lot. Seemed to have a great amount of rear legroom. Then we tried putting an infant car seat in the back. You have to push the front seat up so far that someone can't sit with their legs straight. Tried with a rear-facing toddler seat and the same issue. I cannot believe a car this big has this issue. So if you're looking for SUVs like this and you have a kid in a car seat, you may want to look elsewhere. We couldn't buy it due to this limitation.

However, I did bought to Sam attention the left muffler was not fully seated against the muffler housing and the tire pressure warning light remain on after I apply air pressure PSI to all 5 tires.

This is truly a luxury Volvo. It meets my needs exactly. The performance is amazing along with the sound system. The fuel economy and overall look of the car is spot on. I highly recommend the XC60 to anyone looking for a sharp SUV!

I and my wife recent purchased a 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL 600 Roadster from Certified Car Center in Fairfax, VA. I have never been too fond of the car buying experience and anticipated much of the same during this experience. I expected, the car I was interested in to be a car to lure me into the showroom, to divert my attention to a more expensive car. I expected the sales person to be and pushy and sales motivated. I thought any amount I offered as a down payment would not be enough, and I would need hundreds of more dollars to make the deal go through. This is what I expected because this is the experience I have had in the past with many other car dealers. However, Certified Car Center was the opposite of any of my previous experiences. When we arrived at the lot, the car was parked in front of the office, open, running, and ready for our inspection. The sales person (Fernando) was courteous and professional. He greeted wife and me, introduced himself, showed us around the car and then he did something unexpected. He said, "The key is in the car, look it over, and take it for a drive, take your time." Then he left wife and me to take our time inspecting the car and after putting on dealer plates, we took the care for a test drive, taking our time to enjoy driving the vehicle. Upon returning, we filled out the paperwork and applied for financing and offered $1,000 as a down payment. To our amazement, all was acceptable, and we finished with the documents, and temporary registration in less than four hours, start to finish. We have brought many cars from dealers over our 32-year marriage, and all have been a terrible day long, exhausting experiences. Our experience with Certified Car Center was the only experience we truly enjoyed and would recommend them to all family and friends as the best car buying experience we had. With their focus on outstanding customer service, fast and efficient financing, and a large selection of quality cars and trucks, I will be back to them to purchase my next vehicle because I enjoyed the experience and appreciate their customer service. Sincerely Wm. & Evelyn Quarles

LOoks current, nice styling, ride is good, and acceleration is fine with the LT coupe. Mileage 26 mpg. Good enough. If not 'joy ridden,' engine and tranny keep well. little things (mostly of brittle plastic) like window regulators, sunroof, steering bump stops (that stop wheels from rubbing wheel well) wear, and costly if mechanic or dealer, but if you can do it yourself, all are fine, needs a timing belt change every 100k, again, costly if mechanic's prices.

Post Office Box ### Washington, Virginia 22747 October 28, 2016 Mr. Fawad Osmani General Manager Rosenthal Fairfax Volkswagen and Volvo 11050 Fairfax Boulevard Fairfax, Virginia 22030, My dear Mr. Osmani, Please excuse the delay in getting this letter to you. It should have been sent immediately after our last conversation, however due to the injury I suffered at work earlier in the year I have had two surgeries on my left wrist and I have been in a cast. The surgeries made me realize the dereliction of duty in not getting this letter of deep appreciation to you. When I entered your facility on July 3, I had not intention of making any decisions on my lease. Fortunately the timing was perfect in that I was able to visit with you directly. It is often said that purchasing a new car is an event that most people put at the top of their ???unpleasant experience??? list. It has been eight months since the accident and resulting injuries at work and I was dreading having to go through the lease renegotiation process. I appreciate the manner in which you gave me your complete attention and I quickly realized I was comfortable in our discussion and the numbers you were showing to me in regard to the lease and a 2016 vehicle. I also appreciate the information you were showing me regarding the TDI legal issue which affected my 2013 vehicle. Thank you for your honesty not only in word, but in deed. You showed me exact numbers and costs and were so instrumental in an easy and enjoyable transition. On top of all of your incredible assistance, you went to bat for me with Volkswagen Credit Services and were able to persuade them to waive the ???excess wear and use fee??? of $495.00. I almost fell off my chair when I heard that terrific news. Thank you again. You are indeed a 5 Star gentleman who went out of his way to waive those fees that totaled $845.00 (wear and use/disposition fee). I am so pleased with my new Jetta and I thank you for you help in every step of the transaction. It will always be my honor and pleasure to recommend Fairfax Volkswagen and I have already shared this good news with many of my friends and relatives. Mr. Osmani, there are just a few simple words that describe my experience dealing with you and your fine dealership, and all your staff: Thank you for your kindness, integrity, and honesty. Nothing more can be said because each of those words exactly conveys my appreciation to you and for you. Yours very cordially, Paul E. Hagstrom Note: In the parking lot at work someone did something to create three tiny scratches in the rear right fender. There are no dents. Please let me know the best way to handle this. Im sure it is best not to contact my insurance so I expect to pay to have these tiny dots removed. It bothers me not to drive my white beautiful Jetta in less that perfect condition.

Truly an awesome experience - DO NOT BUY A PRE-OWNED CAR ANYWHERE ELSE. As a CPA I was the most skeptical person to ever visit Kingstowne, in fact, I said that I would never purchase a car from a small independent dealer - I was dead wrong! The entire experience with Sean was low stress and no pressure. I arrived, took the car for a long test drive, thoroughly looked over ever inch of the car and negotiated the deal with Sean. When I picked up the car a week later, it was completely detailed and looked great. Sean even followed me to the gas station to fill up the car at the expense of the dealership. Really, I lost a lot of sleep when I thought about buying a car from an independent dealer, but Kingstowne proved me wrong. I took my newly acquired 2014 BMW 435i convertible to the BMW dealer and they confirmed that it was in great shape, however, it needed a tire replaced to pass Maryland's state inspection (much tougher than Virginia) which he had committed to covering anything needed to pass. He offered for me to come back to the dealership and he would give me a better used tire, which would have been fine. However, the drive is 42 miles in each direction in heavy traffic, so I opted to pay the dealer $430 for a new tire so it would pass inspection. I let Sean know what happened and even though he said he could have gotten a used tire for $60, he offered to send me $200 towards the new tire. That is a man of integrity and class!! In the future, I will always look only to Kingstowne for my car needs since I rarely purchase a new car!!

By far best interior, exterior, ride comfort but no manual overide to change gear to neutral or disengage parking brakes for towing when batteries dead. In 6 months from purchase barreries died while my car was in my garage face in, in parking gear with parking brakes on while connected with hybrid charging cable. This car has to be flatbed towing due to air suspension. Car was finally towed by the 5th toe provider sent by Volvo emergency roadside assistance and still sustained damage. Only option by towing company was to drag my car out of the garage while in parking gear with parking brakes engaged and then further drag it on to the flat bed tow truck. Good thing that after the refusal of the 3rd tow provider my dealership service manager came to my house and dis engaged the parking brakes and put my car in neutral so it could be towed and still there was damage. This car has $80k sticker. In my opinion a serious design flaw, unreliable Volvo roadside assistance which I later found out is a third party provider contracted by Volvo. They had no idea that this car can not be towed any other way but flatbed. Yes, this was Volvo roadside not AAA...... Bottom line great car as long as the batteries do not die

Several outstanding employees at Fairfax Volvo helped resolve a difficult situation I was having with my vehicle. I had a 2015 Volvo that was purchased at Don Beyer Volvo in Winchester, VA. Over the past couple of years and particularly the past couple of months, the vehicle had multiple issues. As soon as one issue was fixed another arose. Rachel Voelker was absolutely wonderful in trying to get the matter resolved and always kept me informed about what was going on with my vehicle. She was always positive and ensured me that they would get it right. Due to having to be towed a couple of times ???after hours,??? other service department members, such as Melvin, took my calls and made sure a tow truck got to me as soon as possible. With the repeated issues, the service manager, Will Winston became involved and worked with Volvo directly to inform them of the situation and advocate on my behalf. He promised me on our first phone call that Fairfax Volvo would ???make it right??? and they followed through on that promise. Due to the unexpected repairs needed on my car, I had to replace it in order to have a safe and reliable vehicle. When I purchased my original Volvo, I thought I would keep it ???forever??? and financed it longer than I normally do. As a result, I was horribly upside down in the vehicle. Will worked with Jonathan (new car sales manager) to come up with a fair and honest deal on a new Volvo in an effort to correct the situation of the lemon Don Beyer sold me. I want to personally thank Jonathan, Will, Wayne Smith and Glester Johnson for going above and beyond to help me get out from under that vehicle and get me into a new Volvo. I have the utmost faith that this Volvo will be my car for many, many years to come. Thanks to your staff for answering all of my questions honestly and making that five-hour process not as painful as it otherwise could have been. You can be sure that if I have any friends looking to buy new cars in the future, I'll be sending them to Fairfax Volvo.

I recently had an accident in my VOLVO xc40 T5 AWD rendering it a total loss claim on my insurance. Whilst negotiating a small roundabout in a narrow street the car suddenly speeded up and was totally unresponsive to braking. My insurance company has already offered to pay the market value or as the car was only six months old (Oct 2018) with less than 3000 miles on the clock a replacement car. I was concerned that the accident occurred as a result of a fault in the car and requested VOLVO UK get involved. They reported that the car had accelerated due to the accelerator pedal being 100% depressed by the driver and that there had been no braking activity. This is totally untrue as one instinctively brakes as speed increases and who would want to crash a £40K+ car into a wall. I do not accept this as VOLVO have been aware of this problem for some time as was reported by Volvo cars co-operative spokesman Per-Ake Froberg from Gothenburg, Sweden in an article titled :- “VOLVO WARNS OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN SOME MODELS” who reported that at the time there had been 55 incidents of unintended acceleration and that Volvo did not have a fix to permanently take care of the problem. I have been a keen Volvo owner since 1981 having 17/18 volvos but feel people need to be made aware of this failure which could result in serious injury or fatality.

This visit was perfect from start to finish, if it wasn’t for my situation I would have given this place a 5 star for buying process. My salesman was Steve Solomon and let me tell you, if you want a 5 star experience with a knowledgeable and sweet personality,than this is your guy! Friendly doesn’t even begin to describe the service. I really wanted to get myself into one of those well built and strong Nissan Muranos but I just couldn’t get myself up enough to pull the trigger. I wanted to and Steve got me where I needed to be but I just couldn’t do it tonight. I will be back though and my first thought about nissan passport will be about Steve and his excellence and commitment to customer service. Well done, looking forward to slapping the pen to the paper and picking up a photo with my new car, thanks Steve!

Only negative we can even think of is that gas mileage isn't great; however, I have a very soft driving style and am easy on the gas pedal; so, 21 mpg average is attainable overall.

I love driving this vehicle. It had 2 engines . Front Gas powered and Rear Electric Powered. There is immediate power from stopped on starts without hesitation. Has 5 different modes from eco and Hybrid to All Wheel Drive and SPORT mode. Mileage is great at approx 27 to 29 MPG. Plug in recharge is both 110V and 220V so you can plug it in ANYWHERE. The ride as my wife states is like butter.....what ever that means It is SMOOTH and quiet. Has lots of power for pulling trailer / 22 ft Boat and for passing quickly. Love all the safety features from 360 cameras and automatic brakes and side warning alarms. It even steers itself so you stay in your lane and don't wander. Exceptional Car.

When I brought my RX450h in for its 12-month servicing and safety inspection at 6am on Wednesday, 12/14, I was greeted by a smiling Raymon Tanyos. He quickly and efficiently took down my information, provided me with an estimate of 90 minutes for the service, and ushered me into the waiting area. I enjoyed fresh-brewed coffee and a piece of fruit while I waited. I was even able to recharge my phone at the provided charging station. The service was completed ahead of schedule, and my car looked fantastic, as they had washed it! Such a nice perk. When I checked out, Raymon said the service was free, but I'd need to pay for the inspection. What a nice surprise! Everyone associated with Pohanka Lexus Is wonderful, and I will continue to do business with them. Thanks for a great experience!

Best vehicle I’ve owned to date. The drive, comfort and options are top notch. Plenty of room very quit ride with lots of power when you need it.

I always call Leonia Durant at Ted Brett Ford Lincoln of Chantilly, VA - as a retired US Marine, she is no nonsense, loyal, and knows how to work towards a win-win situation every time. She has always taken great care of me, and I truly appreciate how she and Ted Britt Ford get me in and out with a focus on optimizing the experience. This is my fifth purchase from Ms. Durant, and I am excited to have received the LeoniaDurant4Life designation! Go see Leonia at Ted Britt Ford in Chantilly Auto Park, she knows Fords, Lincolns, and how to make you a happy Ted Britt customer! Thanks Leonia, keep up the great work!

Best crossover for your bucks. Total worth spending the money on XC-60 Hybrid plugin. Excellent handling and accents. Interior/Exterior well built with all necessary options.

This car, which was purchased as a second car, made me change a 17 years relationship with another make and switch to an XC60 as a primary car, which is also excellent. And the dealership, Weston Volvo, is also excellent, not only at sales people, but mainly service.

My husband told me about Carvana from a commercial ad he heard/saw. I laughed about it and said 'yah right, there's gotta be a hitch somewhere'. A few weeks later, he brought up Carvana again....curious, I decided to check it out online. The key words there was 'check it out'. I ended up buying a vehicle a couple hours later. Yeup, it was just like that. No hassle, no hidden costs or agendas. So after reviewing everything on the site, I started looking at minivans....I started falling in love with minivans....I started buying minivans....all through carvana. Once I locked in the one I wanted, I went through the credit process, documentation process, and pick up date (I chose pick up - because at this point, I still felt a little 'leary' about the whole deal'. It was so simple, and so honest, and so real. Over the course of the next 24 hours, all my submitted documents were approved and we just had two days to go to pick up the new mininvan. When we got to the store, it's not like a dealership with a lot, but it had three beautiful, well lit, very clean, showroom like bays that your vehicle is sitting in for your to do a complete inspection of it. It was very classy. Please note, our particular location does not have the car vending machine just yet. After passing our over check, I hopped in the car and drove it 65 miles home. She ran like a charm and I knew I had 7 days to decide if I wanted to keep her not. At day 3, although I loved her, she didn't have all the bells and whistles I truly wanted so that evening, I was back on the Carvana site, shopping for a replacement minivan....it's so easy to do when it gives you results based on your financial settings....I found the new 'her' a few hours later. I ordered her up and made the quick call explaining I was swapping and chose to have the vehicle delivered instead of going there to save time. The whole swap process took 2 days...they pulled up right to my house with my next new minivan. In my eyes, she was perfect, but I found a flaw before she was even off the truck. There was a huge bolt in the back tire. I was so disappointed. But Carvana took care of that so amazingly over the top.....they still brought her off the truck so I can check out the interior, test drive it, etc. We found a few more things that we felt should be fixed...minor things. Carvana took note of the items, and took the vehicle back on the truck but promised me (because I really wanted her that day) they would bring her back with a new tire....they kept their promise, three hours later she was back with a brand new tire, not one, but TWO brand new back tires. And they put an extra Carvana cup in the car for me. They swapped the minivans and off the old one went and there I sat with the new one. Smile ear to ear. I worked with Carvana on 6 items that we believed needed repair before committing to keep the vehicle. Carvana went above and beyond. I got an estimate for the repairs at a local shop, Carvana approved it, and within a few weeks, all repairs were completed through Carvana and I have the perfect vehicle, no hassle, no hidden agendas. And every person I dealt with on the phone or in person were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, FRIENDLY, HELPFUL, AND JUST THE BEST!! My Carvana experience was the absolute best. I will never go back to buying a car the old 'car dealership' way. And ironically, we had bought our other vehicle from a dealership just 3 months before being introduced to Carvana. I will give one warning about buying a vehicle through Carvana this way....it can be addicting..lol :-) Yes, I still shop Carvana cars every now and then....I don't even need a car, I just love seeing what Carvana has because it was sooo simple :-) Thank you Carvana for a trememdously wonderful experience.

Agile and responsive handling, relative quiet ride, 74 Db on Parkway. Excellent driver assist and warnings. Nicely styled with R-Design package, T6 with supercharger and turbocharger, all wheel drive with great sound system. Still in the Honeymoon stage. Can get excellent gas mileage, if you want that kind of thing, hehehehe.

Bethesda Volkswagen is the BEST VOLKSWAGON DEALER IN THE UNITED STATES!! If you want to buy a Volkswagen, don???t look any further than 7001 Arlington Road, Bethesda, Maryland. Volkswagen historically are known for producing quality cars with excellent reliability-so it was quite impressive to encounter the most customer service knowledgeable friendly staff on the planet[The VW Trio William Merlo (Sales Consultant), Ron Sowell (Product Specialist) and Ash Chowdhury (Finance Manager)] on my first visit to simply ???check out??? the 2016 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN SEL. To make a long story short, it was quite a phenomenal experience-who knew shopping and buying a car could be so easy? 1) William Merlo LISTENED to me when I initially explained my interested not only in the Tiguan, but also the EXACT features I wanted-that is how I discovered the 2016 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN SEL had all the features I wanted. As I was test driving it, Merlo pointed out various aspects of the car as well as functions that were of my interest (i.e. heated seats, sunroof). It was absolutely awesome to test drive the 2016 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN SEL and ask all questions I had without the pressure to purchase. He is an ideal example of what a sales consultant should be like in mannerism, attitude and most of all knowledge of a car. And yes, he was available to answer any questions afterwards and still today. 2) Ron Sowell went beyond what I expected when I picked up my car-as he was explaining all the feature and controls-it was liked he built the car himself! This made me feel very confident and secure and he assured I was very familiar with features before driving off with my new car. In fact, I have even called and stopped by for additional feature questions, which he answered without hesitation. 3) Ash Chowdhury role as finance manager exceeded what I expect-it was a wonderful relaxing experience because he not only explained the various aspects Volkswagen financing in detail, but also took the time to explain each difference of the various extended warranties available. And I might add, it wasn???t just giving me information, but Chowdhury was quite patient to listen to my question as well as making sure I fully understood my option, even after I left and had more questions which he was too happy to answer. So overall, for anyone new to buying a car or even have owned several cars and looking for a Volkswagen, I give this place 100 STARS and 100 Thumbs up approval rating. The Super Trio of Volkswagen of Bethesda [Merlo, Sowell and Chowdhury] are what any consumer would be looking for in a car dealership without the hassle of purchasing, pressure of buying or most importantly LISTENING to what you desire in a car. KUDOS TO MERLO, SOWELL AND CHOWDRY! I nominate them for VOLKSWAGON Car Dealership Employees for 2016!!!

My Volvo S90 has many odd electrical faults, heads up display, when getting close to a vehicle in front with cruise control on some times the white car in heads up display disappears and also it as cancelled. The problems started with my car doors unlocking, the windows opening, and the boot lid open. Some times when I use my indicators to turn left the car slows. The radio cuts off. and many more faults. This car is still under warranty . And help would be great full

This is my second vehicle purchased from Vroom in the last 12 months, and I can't imagine ever buying a used car from a brick-and-mortar dealership again. Vroom offers a terrific selection of late model used vehicles. The pictures really make it easy to know what the car looks like. I purchased a 2015 BMW 5-series, and the Vroom price compared to a similar make/model/mileage vehicle from CarMax was $3,000+ cheaper. I selected my vehicle over a few weeks of looking at photos. I filled out a credit application online, and they immediately called me to finalize the app, discuss rates and payments, and to get my $500 deposit. I received a loan package via FedEx 2 days later, signed all the paperwork, and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope they provided. About 3 days later, I started getting emails to schedule delivery. The process only took 9 business days from the moment I made the deposit to the moment I got my vehicle. The vehicle was clean, just as described, and runs great. Now I just need to get a state inspection and add this to my insurance policy, and the tags will be mailed to me in a few weeks. Thankfully, Vroom gives me a 60-day temp tag so there is ample time to receive the plates. This is the future of car-buying, and the 7-day money back guarantee makes it the perfect way to purchase a used vehicle.

This car is a head turner! Rides smooth, a ton of leg room and too many safety features to name. High tech as a Tesla!

I just bought a 2017 Lexus at this dealership and the staffs were amazing! They were very helpful, patient and professional. My sale man, Ariel, has helped me to from A-Z and my buying experience here was a smoothest transaction that I never had before from other dealerships. I would strongly recommend this dealership to all. Thank you!!!

This car is wonderful,it sited all of my needs. Me and my family loved it. It also it had plenty of space. I have a family of 5 and it for all of us no problem. Also I loved how there was 7 seats when my other car only held 5.

Jesse Segovia is an outstanding Fitzgerald representative. I just moved to the area, and the service he provided was superior to where I bought my Hyundai. I now look forward to service I can trust.

The interior is so well thought out. It is a small car in size, but you wouldn't know it in the cabin. Very spacious with tons of storage.

To our misfortune, we missed out on the purchase of a 2014 Camaro SS convertible. By the time we got serious about making the buy, someone else got it. The guys at MB of Fredericksburg were very helpful

Let me tell you this guys are on top of their game !!!! AJ,David,John you guys where awesome your kindness and attention to details where on point completely drama free great team put together @ alpha Motorsport I am a Lincoln guy but these guys treated me as I was buying a jaguar or a BMW not only about the sale but my family received the kindness and attention they deserved the lobby it???s great,has Cel charging station, snack bar,fresh coffe,👍 Super clean, I defenetly recomend ...

Super attractive SUV ! BUT , the headrests jam one's neck so far forward, it caused us neck pain, and the dealer ignored us . Any MD or Chiropractor would look at this seat profile and lament it . XC90 performs so well ! It is so lush so plush so atractive. But the neck pain is a deal breaker . Also just to change the station or adjust the fan/AC/heat is a 4 step process on a screen = major distracted driving !! Love 90% of this vehicle ; but the above is a deal breaker . Hope it improves for future or will never buy one again.

Everyone was awesome. The service was excellent from start to finish. Shawn was outstanding in helping us to purchase our vehicle. Alpha Motors will always have our business. Thank you guys, everything was great 👍😊

Comfortable car to drive, and smooth ride. One of the quietest cars I have driven in 55yrs. This suv also has plentiful of power to spare a rocket ship.This vehicle is also a pleasure to own.

Came in to pick up a truck to haul my boat. the vehicle, price and service were excellent. i was in and out. Highly recommend!

Semiautonomous PilotAssist cruise control, Apple CarPlay, Head Up Display (HUD), and loads of safety technology are the features that make the Volvo XC90 stand apart from the crowd.
