Opinions & Comments on propsed deal by harleynut
Mar 06, 2007 (10:18 am)

I'd appreciate your feedback about the following price I got to buy a 2007 AWD 3.2 XC90 from Volvo Dealership in Massachusetts:
  
$41,609 out the door, I believe there are incentives involved in the reduced price but dealer was not very forthcoming. MSRP $47,195
  
OPTIONS
AWD
Magic Blue Metallic
Climate Package
Versatility Package
Premium Package
Navigation System
  
Thanks for your help, first time looking at Volvo so I am not that knowledgeable "dealing" with the Sales approach

Go to KBB.com and build the car with the options you want. It will then ask if you want to gets bids from a max of 3 local dealers (driven by the ZIP code you entered).
 
I built my car 3 times in KBB.com so that I could send bid requests to 9 dealers in total (6 outside my local zip).
 
Once I received responses from the internet managers I began direct email and phone calls with each internet sales manager. The phone helps as it let's the dealership know that you are serious about the purchase and that they are competing for your business. Be nice but let them know that it all comes down to pricing.
 
Here is an example of my first email to each internet manager once they responded to my KBB inquiry:
 
**********************************************************
 
We're looking to complete the purchase within 3-10 days.
 
I spoke with the wife tonight and here is what she is
looking for:
 
*Exterior - Ice White
*Interior - Off Black (1st) or Sandstone Beige (2)
 
Must Have Options:
*MC177-Premium Package
*MC178-Versatility Package
*MC176-Convenience Package
*800100-DVD Dual Screen Rear Seat Entertainment
 
Nice to Have Options:
*Wood Steering Wheel
 
We're indifferent to the other options so please don't
let it limit your search by excluding them.
 
Please let me know the following when you respond:
1) Vehicle details (color, options, etc.)
2) MSRP Price
3) Invoice Price
4) Your OTD Price (assume 7.75% for taxes)
3) Do you have it in-stock?
4) ETA if not in-stock?
 
**********************************************************
 
This information is key to make sure you do an apples-to-apples comparison with the vehicle quotes you receive back from the dealerships. I came up with a spreadsheet to help me compare vehicles with different options. Let me know if you'd like to use it for your analysis.
 
The internet managers will probably ask you how their bid compares to other. Let them know your best price and ask them to beat or match it.
 
They may ask you which dealerships they are competing against but I did not share this information. The reason one dealership asked was because they do not like to compete with a sister dealership (same owner)...in this case I asked who was the sister dealership and shared that one particular bid.
 
Once you make the purchase.....don't let them sell you anything else, extended warranties, gap insurance, etc....fight the temptation.
 
I got an extended warranty through my GEICO insurance, it kicks in between 50,000 to 100,000. It's a fraction of the cost and is pay as you go versus everything up front.
 
Hope this helps and good luck!!

Re: Does Versatility package reduce 2nd row legroom? [tanders1] by jeugene

I read the same technical information about the legroom. The third row is centered over the wheel wells so it means that the 2nd row has to shift forward some to give both areas some decent room. I understand the third row area accommodates people with a maximum height of 5'-6". If you do not need the third row I'd skip it to make sure people riding have the maximum amount of leg room. It isn't really an issue when people are short on leg and heavy on body length and not too thick in the middle area. But when a person has longer leg length than body length and a large belly every bit of space is an issue. Good luck deciding.

Not sure if you still monitor this site but I was wondering which dealer you used and why. I also live in Boynton.

Atlanta Volvo by cfkii

I'm getting the following quotes from several dealers in Atlanta:
2007 XC-90 V-8 AWD.
Packages: Touring, Convenience, Climate
Loaner Car - 6,000 miles
MSRP: $50,610
Invoice: $47,368
Listing: $40,610
 
Is this a good deal and what are the odds of getting them in the $37,000 range?

$40,610 is well below what the car should be able to be sold for in the first place, unless you are leasing.
Lease or purchase however, there is no way that a loaner would sell for $37,000

Hello,
 
Would appreciate any input on a lease deal that we have pending:
 
2007 Volvo XC90 V8 with Touring Pkg, Climate Pkg, Convenience Pkg, Navigation System, Dual Screen Rear Seat Entertainment, Bi-Xenon Headlights, Wood Steering Wheel.
 
MSRP $49,315
Internet Sale Price $42,755
Lease quotes:
24 mo/12,000 mi - $564 per month with $3,000 down
36 mo/12,000 mi - $639 per month with $3,000 down
 
Also, I have heard from a few dealers that it is hard to get the V8, and one said that you can't custom order them anymore - is this true?
 
Thanks for any input you have!
