I just wanted to post a message regarding the dealership experience that I have experienced over the last 3 months at Volvo of Tacoma at Fife. My wife totalled our '02 Lincoln LS V8 on 1-6-05. We loved the car, it was gorgeous and a blast to drive. However, our needs had changed. She wanted to consider SUV's and wagons, I wanted to consider wagons and minivans. We are going to be starting a family in the next 2-3 years so safety was a big issue. Having agreed to look almost exclusively at wagons and small SUV's we wound up driving 27 vehicles in 3 weeks. We drove 5 different V70's over the course of 4 visits to the dealer. They were always happy to accomodate us and seemed eager to answer any questions or concerns that we had. To their credit they were never pushy or asked for our sale. Their entire approach was to be available to answer whatever questions we had and allow us to make our decision on our timetable. We wound up ordering a V70 2.5T on January 29th. It arrived on April 20th at the dealership at which time the general manager called to inform me that it had just come off of the transporter and that I was welcome to come look it over and expect that it would be ready for delivery within about 24hrs. We went back the next day and the red carpet treatment continued through the F&I and delivery processes. I would highly recommend the entire facility without reservation. Our sales representative and the factory/european delivery liaison were particularly wonderful to deal with. I had stopped at one other Volvo dealer during our shopping process and was treated rather poorly. My only guess is that the salesperson at that facility was not convinced that a 30 year old was a potential sale for a $40K+ vehicle. I had a similar experience (27 years old) when we initially started shopping for our $43K LS. The salesperson that treated us with respect and decency made out quite well I believe. If you are interested in dealing with our specific sales people, send me an email and I will be glad to provide you with their info. Steve |

| Seems that we missed the $3000 manufacturer to dealer incentive. In the past have they traditionally returned later in the model year? | |

I guess they are pushing out the 2005s to make room for the 2006s. Prices look lower than I have ever seen them for the xc70 and the s80.

First off I'd like to extend a big "thank you" to edmunds.com and the folks who post here. This site literally saved me a couple of thousand bucks on my new XC70. It seemed to be the only (or one of the only) site that knew about the $4000 manufacturer to dealer incentive. I even paid for the CR new car price kit, and if I had just gone by that I would have paid right around invoice! Here are the details: 2005 white xc70 w/premium, climate, convenience, DSTC, and rear park assist: MSRP $41,655, Invoice $38,783, paid $34,812. After I had alreay committed, another dealer offered the car at $34,400, so it's possible to do a little better. |
