I got mine for $350.00 UNDER invoice. There is $1000.00 back going to the dealership right now. Took all day, but they finally sold it to me under invoice (and rubber floor mats - You GOTTA get the rubber mats). I LOVE my S40 - Good Luck!

Recent Purchase Details by 06_s40_owner

I found this message board helpful when I was looking for an S40 so I thought I would post my deal for the next person's reference. I just bought an '06 S40 T5 with Premium, Sport, Climate and Automatic from a dealer in Dallas. I got a good deal on my destroyed, hail damaged, dented '97 850 as a trade and I leased for 36 months. I don't know the money factor and residual I was given but I had a sales price of $28,575 and a monthly payment of $492. I probably could have haggled another $30 or $40/month out of them if I had been a bigger jerk but I am fine with this price and hope others find this helpful.

I just got a quote on a flint gray '05 S40 T5 AWD with Auto and stability control for 27.9k in Bakersfield, California. Needless to say, we are speaking more.

I'm just beginning to shop around for an S40. I'm going into my last semester of college and I saw that they offer an incentive for graduates. Does anyone know what that actually is?
 
thanks so much!

I believe it's $500 but call a dealer to confirm.

Buying an Oops by bjl_mls

I have been looking at buying an S40. I was interested in a 2.4i stick with select package. The dealer has a car he refers to as an "oops." The customer purchased the car and drove it 600 mikes in 1 week. According to the salesperson, she had a hard time with the visibility and decided she needed the v50. The dealership took the car back and is now selling it. The car is a T5 with auto transmission and the Climate and Premium Packages. The MSRP is 31380 and the invoice is 29415. They have a sale sticker in the window for 29900. Today the salesperson called to offer it to me at 28700 and they would toss in floormats.
 
This is more car than I was looking to purchase, but could be a good deal. It's also a white care and I was looking for Red or Blue.
 
Given the situation, and the fact it's Thanksgiving week, a traditionally slow car buying week, how much would be a good offer for the oops?
 
Thanks
Brian

First, make sure the car can be titled as "new", if that's important to you.
 
As for your offer, in August we purchased an 06 T5 with auto and premium pkg for 28700. So if its a 06 it probably a pretty good deal IMHO. If its an of, there is a lot more room, about 1k I'd say.

Thanks,
 
Despite it being a good deal I couldn't see myself in a white car. I passed on the Opps, but thanks for the response and advise.
 
As it turns out, they had a Red S40 2.4i with climate, select package and auto trans come in today. The MSRP is 28275 and they are offering to me at 26300 (Invoice is 26,517). Looks like it will work out well.
 
I think I might be a new car owner.

Well, I had an interesting Thanksgiving Eve.
 
Last night I used the edmonds.com site to go over the offer I had from the dealer. By all accounts it seemed like an excellent deal, I hit the button on the TMV page to get price quotes from other dealers. I received two calls today. The first one confirmed that i was getting a great deal and told me he couldn't beat it. The second call was from a another dealer owned by the same organization. They had an identical car in stock to the one I wanted (Passion Red 2.4i, Auto, Climate, Select) and would sell it under the first quote. I asked about a trade in and they had me bring the car. (This is 7:00 on thanksgiving eve.) I drove to the dealer, they dropped the price of the car again, and gave me a good deal on my 2001 Honda Civic EX Coupe (with under 28K and in excellent shape.) At 9:45 I drove off in my new Passion Red S40 a very happy camper.
 
MSRP was 28,275
Invoice was 26767
Sales price was 25933
