Replying to: allwheeldriv3 (Mar 21, 2005 2:47 pm) I went in last night thinking of just test driving the S40 T5 AWD but ended up negotiating on the car that I'm not sure whether I even got a good deal on it.   S40 T5 AWD AT 17" Saggita wheels Premium Package Audio Package Climate Package Bi-Xenon Headlamps Convenience Package   Out the door $33,500 (includes tax, fee, blah blah blah)   After reading your post, it sounds like this would be way too much because if I just add 3K of tax and fees to your final price, it would only come up to $30,208.   The MSRP is $35,411   Am I taken for a ride? Please help! Thanks! Replies to this message: lev_berkovich (Apr 30, 2005 1:22 pm) allwheeldriv3 (Apr 30, 2005 1:27 pm) chantel (Apr 30, 2005 2:13 pm) allwheeldriv3 (Apr 30, 2005 2:51 pm)

Replying to: chantel (Apr 30, 2005 9:34 am) I think it is very good, consider that magic formula MSRP-10%-incentives. You are more than 15% below the MSRP, counting 3K for all taxes, fees and license!!!   The MSRP for your car and for other car can be different

Replying to: chantel (Apr 30, 2005 9:34 am) actually, i think u got a pretty good deal...you're right, my final price will be about 30k with taxes and the all, but my car is manual....i'm not sure the exact invoice price for the geartronic version of the AWD is, but it's probably around the difference between your car and mine give or take a few hundred....other then that, our cars are identical...   EDIT: wait, wait, wait....i just checked the volvo site....the msrp for the geartronic is $1,200, so invoice can't be much more than 1,000 if that....i think u are being taken on a ride....a $2,500 one to be exact...don't get me wrong, i still think u got a good deal for the machine u will be driving, however, i think u could have paid a little less......if u haven't signed anything, go back to thedealer and tell him flat out "i've done my homework" and offer him $31k.....after all, it doesn't hurt to try...

Replying to: allwheeldriv3 (Apr 30, 2005 1:27 pm) I had my dad who lives in another city to check out the price there and yep, I knew I was taken for a ride. My dad didn't even do much haggling around and the sales guy gave him a bottomline for the same type of options I wanted at $29,600 +tax, fees, etc. I'm sure if he haggled a bit, it can probably drop down to the price you suggested which is at $31K.   I'm just wondering whether the low 2.9% financing still can be use cause I figure the dealer isn't the one that is financing, it's Volvo. This dealer told me they can't offer it but I have a suspicion that they probably get some sort of additional incentive if I finance at a higher rate.   Honestly, it's not like Volvo is the car that I have to get. I guess I can always try. If fail, try other cars. Being a first time buyer, I maybe being a bit unrealistic but still gotta try.   Thank you.

Replying to: chantel (Apr 30, 2005 2:13 pm) haha, i busted my car cherry with volvo too....as far as the 2.9% i don't know whether they offer it anymore. my dealer told me it went till the end of march which was a major reason i jumped on the deal....since i ordered the car and it comes the end of may, the dealer had me sign a price freeze form that guaranteed me the price and interest % i got quoted in march. if i were you, i'd go back and see if i could work the final price to somewhere in the $31k ballpark and, after thats over(i'm almost positive the dealer will cave), ask about the 2.9%....i know it's kinda dirty, but you can try lying and telling the dealer that other another dealer quoted you a price a little higher but with 2.9% and if he could match that interest rate, you'd sign for the car right there...it is the end of the month and they might be behind quota....again, it never hurts to try....good luck!
#309 of 686 S40 T5 AWD 6M by mdid May 05, 2005 (5:27 pm)
S40 T5 AWD 6M Blue DSTC Premium Audio Climate   $29,800 plus taxes, tags, reg.   Note quite hitting the magic target, but overall very happy due to (i) zero dealer hassle and (ii) car has all of the options I wanted other than the 17" wheels (DSTC is hard to find).   Picking it up the end of the month and psyched!
#310 of 686 '05 v50 awd t5 6 speed by volvodog May 07, 2005 (9:52 am)
I just bought a new v50 t5 awd 6peed. I have 1K miles on it after 2 weeks. I was an Outback driver for the past 6 years-2 different vehicles on lease. There is no comparison between my last Subaru Legacy outback('02 5 speed non turbo) and my new v50. The v50 has it beat by a long shot in every way but visiblility looking out the front, sides, and back. The v50 is a quieter, smoother and less taxing car to drive. I paid 1800 under dealer invoice for a six speed, with convenience pakage and built in booster seats. Consumer reports does not address the quality one feels immediately upon touching the Volvo's controls; trust me it beats the '02 Subaru. The Subarus have been fine-reliable and very easy to get along with. The Volvo is the 'high priced spread." I can't talk about reliability yet.

#312 of 686 Re: invoice or below [nofeer] by chantel May 07, 2005 (8:19 pm)
Replying to: nofeer (May 07, 2005 7:34 pm) I think Volvo is offering 2500 marketing support as well as 1000 loyalty rebate for the month of May. Looking at what several people have been paying on an S40 that you would definitely want to haggle to get it below invoice. I missed last month's deal but this month it's just as good of a deal so I'm going to the dealer at the last day of the month to get it. Good luck!
