Looking into getting a 06 S40 2.4i / select / sports / leather / auto. Has anyone had any experience in current OTD price this this configuration? Dealer is taling ~$100 over invoice. Comments? Suggestions?

Did you drive both the Mazda 3 and Volvo s40? The s40 really isn't crossed shopped with the Mazda and although they share underpinnings, they feel quite different. The Mazda handles sharper but feels considerably lighter, rides differently, doesn't have the 4 grades of steel as the Volvo, doesn't have the whiplash protection, and numerous other aspects that make Volvos Volvos, not to mention different engines and brakes. The Mazda is a fine value, and a fun to drive car for sure, but it really is quite a different car than the Volvo outside of general size and some shared components.
#380 of 698 S40 Pricing Questions by cllaw Sep 11, 2005 (11:06 am)
Hi all   I'm a newbies here so please forgive me if I put down something funny.   I got a quote from my dealer with S40i with option listed below 1: Select Packages 2: Climate Packages 3: Metallic paint 4: Automatic transmission.   The MSRP is $28,750 and the dealer quote to me is $26,480. The dealer is located in Brooklyn, New York City. There are only 3 Volvo dealers in the town and one of them give me a crazy price so I won't go back there.   I'm looking into enter a 2 years lease with 10,000 miles per year. Do you think any dealer willing to do a 2 years lease? I check around and most of the dealer out there offer 3 years lease only? I will appreciate if any one can give me a hand on it.   Regards   Alex the rookie
#381 of 698 Any info on this???????? by batman702 Sep 15, 2005 (6:00 pm)
I was listening to the radio here in las vegas, and a volvo commercial comes on. It has something to do with the new pricing on the volvos, there is a $3000 incentive right now? and they will double it on the remaining 05's. Has anyone heard of this? is it regional? I can't find anything about it online or on the dealers website. Any info would be good, thanks.                                          Ready to buy a s40 t5 in vegas.
#382 of 698 Hi there... by corkylou26 Sep 20, 2005 (5:22 pm)
is there any complaints about the s40? Any problems? I think it's a sharp looking car. I'm debating over a saab9-3 or a S40 Replies to this message: au94 (Sep 21, 2005 5:09 am)

Replying to: corkylou26 (Sep 20, 2005 5:22 pm) We've had a T5, auto with premium pkg for about a month now and love it. The car is quite powerful with the turbo. Very comfortable as well. Only "complaint" I have is that the space between the brake and gas pedals is tight for me. Does not bother my wife however, which works as this is her car. Read the other posts in the forum and make you decision. I did not see anything that scared me off the car. We also considered the 9-3 (scared of reliability), CTS (too expensive) and TSX (too common). One of the things we like best about the car is that it is not too common, at least in our area. BMW's, Lexi, Infiniti and Acura at almost every intersection, but not many S40's. Same could be said for the Saab, but again reliability and resale scared me. We'll see how the Volvo fares.
#384 of 698 93 vs s40 by dhanley Sep 23, 2005 (1:05 pm)
My opinion on that was that in 2005, the 9-3 was better at the low end, more power, AWD, leather, stability control all in the base car, but the volvo was better at the high end when equipped with the t5, awd, etc.   dave Replies to this message: brightness04 (Oct 05, 2005 7:37 pm)

Replying to: dhanley (Sep 23, 2005 1:05 pm) You were probably thinking of 9-2 vs. S40, not 9-3 vs. S40. 9-3 is a lot more luxurious than 9-2, but no AWD, yet.
#386 of 698 No by dhanley Oct 06, 2005 (3:49 pm)
Ugh. I was meaning to compare the 9-3 to s40. The AWD in the above was a brain hiccup i get for cutting and pasting too much. I meant to say "but no AWD available."   You're right the 9-3 is much more luxurious then the 9-2. I wouldn't compare the 9-2 to the 9-3 to s40.   My previous look see was in '05. Both cars have changed somewhat. Here's the '06 comparison:   9-3 (210hp2.0L turbo 4) $26,620 s40i (168hp 2.4L i-5) + leather and DSTC $26,345   The saab's just a few bucks more and wins on engine big-time. On the other hand, you can delete leather on the volvo for the arguably superior gore-tex and save significant $$.   However, on the high end: s40+awd+t5+dstc+xenons+premium(sunroof)+winter = 33,087 9-3+winter package(rest is standard) = 33,720   The price was much more on the saab last year--in this case the volvo offers AWD, but the saab offers the 258hp turbo v6 vs the 218hp i-5. Depends on what you like.   Tough call in either case. Replies to this message: schoup (Oct 09, 2005 7:16 am)

Replying to: dhanley (Oct 06, 2005 3:49 pm) You can't really compare the S40i to the 9-3 2.0T you need to compare the S40 T5 (218hp) to the 9-3 2.0T (210 hp). Also realize that on the 9-3 you need to get the premium pkg because the Std audio system is horrible. The 9-3+premium+moonroof is comparable to theS40 T5+premium(includes moonroof)+audio. The The MSRP's are close but Volvo has much better resale value and reliability. Also Saab is offering nothing for incentives right now while Volvo is.
