| Hi everyone, I'm new to this board and am seriously cosidering an S40 T5 purchase. It's down to the Subaru WRX Limited (pretty much loaded w/leather) or the Volvo S40. The final decision will be made based on cost of the car. The Subaru will cost me about $27,500 OTD but if I wanted a similarly packaged Volvo, I think I'll be paying much more. What would a good deal on an S40 T5 auto/premium/sport/xenon equipped be OTD (tax here is 4.167%)? Any and all opinions/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. eric | |

I've been offered the following: '05 T5 AWD Silver/black Heated/leather seats Sunroof Audio Pckg But most important its a dealer demo with 3,900 miles $26,990 Unsure if this is a good offer or not. Thanks.

Replying to: waverly (Oct 31, 2005 6:48 pm) My local dealer is advertising '05 T5 AWD for $28,313.. They say they have five of them left.... brand new.. What is the MSRP on the demo that you are considering? regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 01, 2005 7:21 am) Now to kyfdx's question about MSRP. Its a little unclear. The dealer mentioned only those specific features that I listed in my post as being options included in the car, but did not answer my direct question about whether the car has only those features as one off's or as part of the premium and cllimat packages. Therefore I think the MSRP is around the $32 to $33.3 price range. |

Replying to: waverly (Nov 01, 2005 8:22 am) $26,900 on a $33,500 car is a better deal than $26,900 on a $32,000 car... In my experience, demos usually don't come with enough of a discount over a brand-new unit, to merit buying them.. Although, occasionally, you'll run into a good deal... I'd have a hard time dropping $26,900 on a car with 4K miles, when there are brand new models to be had for just $1400 more... But, that is just me.. regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 01, 2005 8:27 am) Metallic Silver Automatic Transmission Premium Climate Audio MSRP = 33,325 Car was a demo, ended up having 5500 miles on it instead of 3900 as we were originally told (shady). Final price -25,700. I know some don't care for the cars with miles on it, but I think we got a good deal. Any thoughts? By the way, a huge thank you to Edmunds in general and this forum in particular for sharing your collective knowledge. Having the informational knowledge this forum provides was absolutely crucial and comforting.
