If you've got one lying around in the garage with no hope of ever getting back on the car (liklihood: slim http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif ) let me know, I'm taking the family out and don't have room for all the stuff. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Is it possible to rent one while you wait for a good one to buy ?  Just a thought and it would avoid you having to make a rash decision. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Thanks for the reply Barry, but based on your (and many others on this board's) experience I know what I want to get. I'm just hoping to not pay dealership prices. Maybe in the next week and a half someone will stumble on this thread and say "Hey, I got one lying around and I've no thought of using it again!" So, on it goes, I'd like to find the wing bars with the t-track system and the Mountaineer box! I know the chance of someone parting with their rack and box is slim, but maybe, just maybe.

Call your local dealership to see if they have any used ones laying about or know of a customer that wishes to unload theirs etc. Make a few phone calls to your local Volvo dealerships -- you just never know what may turn up. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Good luck.

Don't forget the $50 rebate on boxes and the potential savings of being a VCOA member!  The boxes are expensive to ship... so your better off negotiating.  

Also, shop around.  The Wing profiles are cheap to ship.  Check out the reputable parts dealers on the Internet... search the forums.  Currently 20% off list, plus $10 rebate for the wings.... did you ask your dealer to pricematch?  How bad do they want your business.  Don't pay full retail, there's no need.

Good luck.

My dealer did not flinch on giving me 20% off any accessories I wanted and I also used the volvo rebate.

Good luck,
Kersti

http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Thanks for all the responses. I called the dealer and asked him about the cross bars and the box. He quoted me 20% over Volvo's retail (something like Volvo didn't update the prices on the internet or some bu775hit) well I told him about a price I found and then he agreed to match it!?! OK, I says to him I'll ordered the wings from you and do you have a price on a box, Well, he says, I've got one lying around the showroom, we ordered for someone and they never showed up to take it, he says, it's taking up too much room I'll let you have it cheap! So, I says, you got yourself a deal and am no longer in the market to find these things. Again, thanks for the ideas and support. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif Milt

GREAT NEWS!  It pays to be a pain-in-the-ass by being persistent....

Post some pics when you get it mounted... and DO NOT FORGET to order the T-Track fit kit to mount the box to the wings.  Search the forum for the part #
