Replying to: gugal (Apr 14, 2004 12:17 pm) Number one - I will urge you to hurry-up. I have heard that the 2004 OSD quota is expired, or is expiring.   The ordered car takes 12-15 weeks to build, so you might be too late for June.   Gothenburg itself is pretty boring. This is typical industrial European city. I would strongly recommend to visit Stockholm, it's one of the European gems. It's very lively and beautiful. It is within the easy 3-4h drive from the Gothenburg, and the route by the lakes is very scenic on it's own.   Summer is good there. It's not too hot.   I would recommend two options: 1. Pick-up and drop off in Gothenburg.(Three advantages - it's free, you have one night for free and you can take the factory tour). - Fly in on Sunday, do all the sightseens in the afternoon, stay overnight for free - Take a delivery and a factory tour (very entertaining). - Drive to Stockholm and spend three - four nights there. - Drive back to Gothenburg on Friday, drop the car and fly home.   2. Pick-up and drop-off in Stockholm. (You have to pay some nominal fee, but you do not have to drive.   Volvo will help you with the hotel arrangements. The prices from their travel agency are decent.   Volvo also offers a couple of Scandinavian tours.   You will find all the details on the Volvocars.us web site   http://volvocars.us/FinancialServices/Overseas/
#125 of 1653 Lease deal by zeen Apr 15, 2004 (12:07 pm)
Today Volvo advertised a lease on a well-equipped XC90 T5 with Premium and Climate package for $1800 down and $369/mo. for 42 months, 12k miles/yr. This seems like an incredible deal to me. Does anyone have any opinion about this deal? Also, does anyone know if the Ford employee discount extends to Volvo?
#126 of 1653 Where did you find the lease deal? ZEEN by yrneh1 Apr 15, 2004 (3:23 pm)
I don't see it on Volvo website.

It was a full page ad in the auto section of the Philly paper. I think it's a national promo. The dealer just found out about it and was still gathering info. It requires a high credit score.

Zeen,   I would assume the Ford employee discount extends to Volvo, but I'm not certain. The reason why I believe that it would is because Volvo participates in Ford's X-Plan program. (The X-Plan is special discount given to companies with which Ford does a lot of business). We bought our 2000 S-70 with the X-Plan and were prepared to use it again until deciding on the OSD.

Gugal,   We'll be in Gothenburg in late June (the same time as lev). I've never been there, but from what I've read it is supposed to have a good art museum and botanical gardens. It appears, however, that most of the attractions - cultural and not - are in Stockholm. Stockholm looks like a beautiful, beautiful city, and we will be spending about three or four days there.   If you can't make it to Stockholm, there are quite a few interesting little seaside towns both north (Bohuslan Coast)and south(Bastad, Molle) of Gothenburg if you only have a few days, and the towns and castles around Lake Vanern (huge lake) are very close to Gothenburg. From what I've read, it appears that most of the tourist sites close up sometime in September or October, though.   The Volvo travel packages can be pricey, but they do include a lot of your meals. If you have the time, energy and courage, though, you can plan your own trip. Countryside Hotels is a federation of small, exclusive hotels throughout Sweden, and you can get some good deals through them (especially during the summer using their summercheques); in fact, many of the locations used in the Volvo travel packages are Countryside Hotels. It would be a shame, however, not to spend more than 3 days over there.

#131 of 1653 Lease Deal by zeen Apr 17, 2004 (2:30 pm)
See my description of the current lease deal above. I have a friend who works for Ford who offered her employee discount. Does anyone know if I can get a better deal than the current lease promo using that discount? The dealer told me this lease deal is rock bottom and the employee discount won't help. Any advice? Thanks

Zeen- I am on the prowl for the 2.5T and I have seen nothing near that good. It seems to me to be off by about $100per mo. compared to what's available in Chicago.   Has anyone else seen this promo elsewhere?
#133 of 1653 Lease Deal by zeen Apr 18, 2004 (9:04 am)
That deal has been in the auto section of the Philly papers for about a week now. Maybe it's just an east coast promo but I would check with the dealer. I had to bring it to my dealer's attention. The lease is through Wells Fargo. The only catches are you need a 730 credit score, and metallic paint and third row seats are extra but I don't need them.
