Replying to: stanwelks (Jul 14, 2006 4:54 pm) Thats a VERY tough car. I would be really surprised if you found one. Nav is the issue. A leather car is typically going to have the Select pkg if it is a 2.4i or the Premium pkg if it is a T5. Replies to this message: stanwelks (Jul 14, 2006 5:48 pm) cutt1001 (Jul 21, 2006 6:55 pm)

Replying to: suspendmix (Jul 14, 2006 9:22 am) I really just want a base model with a metallic color but those seem rare...   Yup, Those cars were typically built in Black, Red or White.

Replying to: volvomax (Jul 14, 2006 4:57 pm) Why is NAV the issue? How is the NAV that comes with it? Is it user friendly?
#480 of 689 Options I selected by stanwelks Jul 14, 2006 (6:04 pm)
I would like to keep the price of the car to $25k or less before TTL. I selected the following options based on those I am interested in, and the ones I figured would likely come with the car, and it is now at $32k invoice!   000142 Volvo Navigation System TMP086 Geartronic 5-Speed Automatic Transmission MC589 Audio Package 000438 Bi-Xenon Headlamps   Invoice $32,565   1.) Are the dealers selling these cars with these options below invoice, or are only the baseline cars being sold for these kinds of deals?   2.) Anyone have any advice for getting one of these for around $25k? Only necessity for me is really automatic. I could go for aftermarket nav, etc.   Thanks!

Replying to: donthegreek (Jul 15, 2006 1:18 pm) "If the dealers (for an 06) aren't knocking off $5,000 from sticker don't buy from em..."   Is the "sticker" really a good gauge of price to go off of? Don't the dealers just arbitrarilty markup the car? Shouldn't the gague be the invoice?

"Don't the dealers just arbitrarilty markup the car?"   Not in my opinion, but i'm no expert on this....dealers do mark up cars if there's high demand and only a few are being built( the first run of the Pontiac Solstice comes to mind...   I'm looking at buying an 06 S40 2.4i with certain options, and i've found several that are exact in color and options at different dealers... and the "Sticker" is the SAME at these dealers....but one dealer is knocking off $4,000 from sticker, and another is knocking $5230 off!, for the exact same car.   I was always told the "Invoice" number can also vary!?!? So who knows.....   don
#484 of 689 Did it! by suspendmix Jul 17, 2006 (9:18 pm)
Alright so I finally did it! My experience at purchasing a Volvo was great! Got mine at Royal Motors and it was the most hassle free car buying experience I've had to date. Emailed them last week for a quote on a base model s40 in non metallic 5sp - $19400...liked the metallics better and test drove an auto at another dealership and liked that...   went to royal motors and test drove the stick and told the sales person that I like the auto and asked if he could do it for a quote i got from another dealer at 20,788 (royal motors gave me much more for my trade in, $11,000 for a 2003 honda civic ex with a dent on the bumper)...sticker was 26,640 or over 5800 under MSRP. Its a base car but with metallic flint grey color and an automatic...sales guy actually traded another dealer for the car!   Great experience and little haggling involved...if they can do it, seems like they will...
#485 of 689 Good experience.... by mrrk47 Jul 20, 2006 (5:49 pm)
Just purchased a 06 S40 in San Leandro Ca. It was a great and fairly easy experience....got a base silver met, auto 2.4i for 21060 plus fees. Other dealers in the area wouldn't return my calls or emails or badgered me on the phone to put a ton of money down. The dealer in San Leandro worked with me with little down and fit me in to a 48 mth lease.
#486 of 689 Volvo S40 2.4i Sale by huckleberry12 Jul 20, 2006 (11:10 pm)
Putnam Volvo in Burlingame, CA was running an ad in Sunday's SF Chronicle Car section for a one day sale on the S40 2.4i with metallic paint, t-tech, automatic and select package for $21,998 + taxes/fees. They had 5 in stock.   Smythe Volvo in San Jose, CA had a similar ad for $22,000 + tax/fees, but they had at least 20 in stock. Sounds like a great deal if you can still get it. I wouldn't be surprised if they had the deal again this weekend.
