Replying to: thas9469 (Jul 24, 2008 5:51 am) Sorry, got to call shenannigans on this one. 99% of all Volvo's at the various auctions are either a) rental returns, so they are a year or so old or b) lease returns, the majority of which are under warranty. Anybody who actually works for Volvo would know this. |

Toyota dealer doesn't want a volvo SUV on their lot, so they send it to auction. Right now, this is probably happening 10 times a day every day (ok, maybe no ALL volvos). You mean to tell me you truly believe every one of those is a "fixer upper"? Think about it. Really. |

Volvomax - any thoughts on my deal? Really need some feedback, as I plan to buy tomorrow morning. Edmunds says $29k and change, so I'm not sure what to think. w

Replying to: willx45x (Jul 24, 2008 11:37 am) He says you probably have a grand or 2 still on the table. I think its even more, personally. That is apparently an $18k truck at trade-in time right now. So, if it were me, even for CPO, $23k would be the end of the world. Even if the dealer has been sitting on it for a couple of months and paid $20k for it before their values dipped in the past couple of weeks, $25k is more than enough. But then why pay that? Just wait for another one and take advantage of the extra depreciation they've suffered recently.

I finally got to go look at the XC90 I had my eye on last night. They were pretty unwilling to budge on the price, but they called me back and increased the value of my trade. We talked a bit about the recent drop in auction value, but told me they couldn't do much on the one I was interested in. He did try to steer me to an '03 2.5T they had w/ low miles (41k) that was priced decently. I'm still considering that, but am not sure I really want to go back to an '03  The one I looked at ended up not having the rear sensors ( though they were listed on the website) so I'm not totally married to it. It drove nice,but there are a few small issues I would like taken care. They had actually dropped the price by 1k yesterday, but the salesman was unaware of the price drop. In fact, the sheet the person showed me had prices about 1k higher than listed on their website for all the cars. I then went to look at another non-volvo dealer at an '05 V8 they had just gotten in. They couldn't find the keys and it hadn't been cleaned up yet so I'll have to go back. It looked a little rough, but we'll see how they clean it up. Needs new tires and was missing a cover piece off of the roof rack. Unfortunately while there, we tested an MDX. It drove real nice and had a lot more bells and whistles than the Volvo. gbrozen/Volvomax, What's your opinion of the '03. I didn't drive it yet, but it looks very clean. Any issues I should concern myself with for a first model year car? CPO on this would be worthless as its nearing the 6 yr mark. The odd thing I noticed is that the mpg listing for the '03 is higher than the '05. Thanks |

Replying to: willx45x (Jul 24, 2008 7:13 pm) Yes. Also, about 2 months ago, we bought an '05 XC90 2.5T AWD premium/climate with only 23k miles for my wife. Paid $22k. The V8 adds no value, believe it or not (really not tough to believe in this market). Yours does have a couple of more options, but the higher miles offset it. PLUS, since we bought ours, the values tanked another $2k, according to a recent discussion with Volvomax on the RWTIV board. We got a good deal at $22k at the time. Even at $500 more, it would have been fair. SOOOOO.... do the math and that brings a current fair price to $20,500 .... BUT that's for non-CPO. Volvo's CPO program, as I understand it, is quite pricey. If you wanted to buy the extended warranty, you are looking at well over $2k. So add that to the mix and that is how I arrived at my $23k number.
