#386 of 692 No by dhanley Oct 06, 2005 (4:49 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 8:16 am)

Replying to: dhanley (Oct 06, 2005 4:49 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.

Fair enough. I have more thoughts, but i'll be quiet as this is not a comparison board.
#389 of 692 Good Offer??? by stax369 Oct 17, 2005 (1:23 pm)
I am curious as to what fellow board members think of the offers I was proposed by 2 dealerships in Colorado. 1st offer: '06 S40 T5 Auto MSRP 30,335, offered it at a lease price of $26624.   2nd offer at another dealer: '06S40 T5 fully loaded MSRP of $34500 offered it to me at a cap cost of 28800.   What does anyone think??? Problem is, I've got 2 trades to figure in the equation '03 Explorer, and an '01 Mustang that I owe a combined 23k on. Dealer 1 said they'de give me 20k for both and dealer 2 said he'd pay them off but I'd have to come up with 3k down for the advertised monthly lease pymt of $399 pr mo.   Can anyone tell me if these are good deals or if there is room for more negotiation.. I would be very grateful for any wise words of wisdom Thanks! Replies to this message: jimsa1252 (Oct 22, 2005 9:39 pm) stax369 (Oct 23, 2005 7:54 am)
#390 of 692 what incentives? by disney2 Oct 17, 2005 (8:52 pm)
What incentives is Volvo offering now? Thanks. Does anyone know what the money factor and residual value of a 36 month lease would be for the S40? Thanks. Replies to this message: stax369 (Oct 18, 2005 9:11 am)
#391 of 692 Price from invoice for 2005?? by bivouac1 Oct 17, 2005 (9:37 pm)
I'm looking at the S4 and there is a beautiful one at my local dealer. I can't figure out what a good deal for the 2005 vs the 2006 online. I think there is a 2500 'marketing' incentive for the dealership. Any idea on what a good deal, perhaps from invoice, would be for this S40?   My guess would be invoice minus the $2500, plus about $500.00.   I hope to get the deal made tomorrow. Thanks!

Replying to: disney2 (Oct 17, 2005 8:52 pm) Volvo does have a manufacturer to dealer incentive of $1000 right now, probably available to most dealers that they can pass on to the customer. Dealer told me yesterday the m.f. is about .00196, another dealer told me the residual is about 50%.
#393 of 692 What to offer? by bivouac1 Oct 18, 2005 (5:43 pm)
Ok... narrowed it down to this:   I'm in the Twin Cities area and plan on making an offer tomorrow for:   2006 VOLVO S40 2.4i with:   Blue Metallic Paint MC577 Select Package TMP086 5-Speed Automatic Transmission MC578 Sport Package MC580 Climate Package   ------------------------------ MRSP 29,498 INVOICE 27,568 -----------------------------   I'm thinking of offering 26,500 as I know there are about $1500.00 in dealer incentives. Am I screwing myself?!?? Replies to this message: bivouac1 (Oct 20, 2005 9:27 pm)

Replying to: bivouac1 (Oct 18, 2005 5:43 pm) I didn't get it for $26,500.   Finally settled for $27,218 - $350.00 under invoice. I was happy with that. I've only driven it about 10 miles, but so far so good!

Replying to: stax369 (Oct 17, 2005 1:23 pm) Yes the S40 is a nice car. but you're in debt. Keep the cars, or sell one (yourself, not a trade) and pay down your loan before you even thing of buying a new car. FYI, stay away from leases. If you can't afford to buy an new car don't do it. Besides, you end up with nothing at the end and pay more in the long run. Replies to this message: stax369 (Oct 23, 2005 7:54 am)
