Here is what I was quoted from costco:
 
xc90 6cyl, AWD, Prem, Vers, Climate and RES w/ standard paint
 
$39.5K + $500 gift card.
 
That is with all the discounts and incentives. Although others claim to have gotten free DVD, costco and the dealer say it is not possible with the discount. My main concern is $500 extra which the dealer claims is Volvo advertising fee. When I calculate invoice - $1000 -$3000 I get $39k. Does anyone think this is legit and are others being charged that fee? I am in northern va. Thanks.

My dealer said no advertising fees so I would challenge that 500 bucks.
 
My dealer did quote 895 for acq fee which i felt was high.

New to this forum and happy to find so many volvo owners.
 
I am on the market of XC90, and the best offer I got from the dealer so far is:
 
XC90 3.20 A ASR 7PASS AUTOMATIC
Climate, Premium, Versatality Packages
MSRP $44,725.00
SELLING PRICE $37,650.48
Taxes $1887.52
Tag, Title & Reg. $362.00
Total OTD $39,900.00
 
Is this a good deal? Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
 
One more question, he did not mention the freight fee in the quote. Does OTD price include that fee?
 
Thanks much!

Make sure you have included the $2,500 marketing incentive from the factory to the dealer, good through early January 2008. Advertising cost should be around $500, depending on the region you live in. I have owned my new 2008 XC90 for about a month and love it. It is thirsty, even with the 3.2l engine, but the safety is worth it.

Ask to see the invoice.
If the charge is on the invoice,its legit.
the ad charge for the Southwest market is $250, and its printed on the invoice.
Costco is aware of these charges. The reason it doesn't appear on their car configurator is that the charge varies from region to region.

Little bit frustrated... by pharmaz

We're trying to go thru with the costco deal but it has not been as straight forward as I thought. We tried to be very specific in terms of options and accessories and all we got quoted were cars currently on the lot. So it's either missing a package or two or wrong color.
 
I understand the incentive for the dealer to get rid of what they currently have. But we tend to keep our cars for as long as they run so we don't want to compromise on the features and color if we have to deal with it for the next few years.
 
So my question is, how hard it is to get the dealer to say "ok, we don't have what you want, let's try to find it at others or order it." ? How much impact will that have on the price?
 
Thanks.

Put exactly what you want in writing and go to the Sales or General Manager. Tell him you are only interested in special ordering the car exactly as you've described. If you get a hard time, walk out. Not a "hard" process, just frustrating, and all part of the game.
 
Do a search for the Volvo dealers within, say 100 miles depending on your locale, and fax them all the exact specs you want. After some bluster, my local dealer found out I was serious, and magically became all too willing to do a special order.
 
Someone will order it for you, and you need a firm order on record by December 31st to qualify for the fixed price Costco Program.
 
Good luck!

The Costco program won't work on dealer trades.
You either have to take what is in stock, or order a car.
The Costco incentive will work on an ordered car.

We were told by the dealer that we would have to take delivery by Dec 31 for the Costco deal so we could not order one.

...it's what Costco tells you that counts, not the stealership.
 
To quote the program "You can order your XC90 from your neighborhood Volvo dealership and enjoy a custom savings package created for members who want to stay closer to home".
 
My ordered XC90 is scheduled to arrive the second week of January, and I got the Costco deal. Many dealerships don't understand the Costco program, and try very hard to discourage special orders.
 
Caveat emptor.
