Replying to: bjl_mls (Nov 22, 2005 5:42 pm) 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

Got a good price on S40 (1k below invoice) and I almost came to sign the sales contract until a colleague suggested me to give a shot on 06 passat. Here is my comparison. Pre-conditions: a) i was looking for a car for day-to-day commute and for family. b) I'm not a fan of sport car c) the car should fit with my age range - 30s, not 20s or 40s d) I want basic configration, a car with mininum options, only required option is automatic trans e)the car should have good value d)we never owned or drove both of them before comparisons: Volvo S40 vs Passat 2.0T 1) Final price : S40: 23.5K (invoice - 500) + tax + lis; 7 to 8% financing rate for 60 months 2.0T: 23.8K (invoice - 300) + tax + lis; 4.9% for 60 months - this guy wins! 2) Exterior design: give my vote to S40 but my wife likes 2.0T more - according to her, the square blue logo with a long line crossed over realy screwed the design. So 2.0T wins (... or my wife wins ...) 3) Interior: S40 - Cloth; out-of-date green/dark screens; less functional components; plastic feel finish; unacceptable audio system 2.0T - Leatherette; contemporary and very detail design everywhere; well built; roomier; better sounds from audio system 4) Performance: "T" realy makes difference, response and drive fast with 2.0T Engine & road noise came from 2.0T is much less than S40; 2.0T has quieter and smoother ride 5) Safety: Volvo has better historic reputation but not sure about it at present. My understanding is newer design means safer car, the world getting better because people are learning from past and making it better for future. 6) Other matters: 2.0T is built in Germany while the other one Belgium Volvo is a better brandname but it's owned by Ford anyway... More negative news have been coming out from Ford ... Conclusion: the new designed passat is worth to give a try, lots of detailed practical new features will catch you such as self-drain unbralle holder on the side of driver's door, electic park braking, hill-hold assistant and the best designed remote control, of which provide you unique way to turn on/off your car by inserting and pushing it like a button. Volvo does have a good exterior design but it appears they didn't pay too much attention on interior, all the componments still keep the same as my old 2001 Chevellet... |

We have been looking for a S40 T5 and looked into leasing a 2006 but in the process found a 2005 S40 T5 AWD, Prem Pkg. 6spd manual which is exactly what my husband wanted. My question is what should we offer on a 2005 now that it is Jan 06? the MSRP is $31,250. I feel like if we could get a good enough price on an 05 it might be better to buy than to lease an 06. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!!
