#156 of 251 ED x3 3.0i by aukema Jan 15, 2004 (11:31 am)
I am interested in a reasonable negotiable ED price on a x3 3.0i for a June delivery date. Below is the invoice and MSRP prices with the options.                INVOICE MSRP BASE $30,720 $33,760 Prem Pack 3,005 3,300 Xenon 730 800 Paint 430 475 Glass 320 350 Delivery 695 695   What premium over invoice? If local dealers won't negotiate can I order out-of-state and still have it delivered to my home town? Has anyone used out-of-state dealers? Any downside? Thanks

#160 of 251 How about TDS by scooterz Sep 30, 2004 (2:00 am)
Hi Wibble - since you mentioned you used to work for Volvo in Sweden, maybe you can help... I am thinking about using the expat program (TDS) from Volvo for a new S40 since I am currently living in Denmark and will be returning to the US within a year. So, here are a couple of questions... Can I extend the car stay in Europe past 6 months, say on a month to month basis after the first 6 months? Also, is there any negotiation room in the Expat price, say for options or accessories? Thanks for your help in advance.

Replying to: wibble (Sep 28, 2004 7:25 pm) I am interested in the OSD program for the 2005 XC90. Can you tell me more about taxes or saving on taxes? Does Volvo only discount on the base price, but all options are at the non-negotiable MSRP?   Any info would be much appreciated!

Replying to: pwilfred (Jan 17, 1999 9:23 pm) I just bought a BMW 545 through the European Delivery program. The salesman I ultimately bought from told me that ED would lower the MSRP by $5000 and we negotiated from there. I got another $2000 off by using the invoice pricing I had obtained from Edmunds and bargaining with that. Then, I traded him my feeble old 1986 325 for the HUD upgrade.   I also negotiated with another salesman from a different dealer and when I asked him how much I would save off the price of the same car if I used European Delivery, he hesitated for a second then said I save $3000. I wished him a good day and left.   Delivery in Munich went off flawlessly and I recommend it to anyone especially if you intend to vacation in Europe. I didn't use my car on the vacation because I was reluctant to drive it around the French Riviera which was our destination. One look at their driving practices convinced me I'd made the right decision. Also, I needed the car back in the US as soon as possible   The dealer I bought from mentioned nothing about tariffs or any other charges.
#163 of 251 S40 OSD questions by aeaneas Jan 18, 2005 (5:41 pm)
I'm interested in buying an S40 Volvo 2005 model. I have several questions.   I understand the details of the OSD program. It sounds good.   My questions are: 1) Is the OSD price negotiable? 2) I heard the price is reduced by 8% off Retail -- is that correct? 3) Can you lease an OSD car? 4) Will dealers attempt to take additional profit during the process of buying an OSD car by inserting fees, dealer installed parts, etc? 5) What "hidden costs" are there? Docking fees? Local taxes? Anything else?   6) this one's for fun -- what did any of you OSDers pay in total gax prices on one of your two week trips?   Thanks in advance!
