Hi i thought id like to help you guys out. Two months ago, i bought a brand new 2006 S40 t5 with premium package for 25,000 dollars. After everything, i also bought an extended warranty and ended up paying about 29.500 OTD with a extended warranty. The 25,000 dollar price was easily had, as i negotiated to that price after about three weeks of talking to different dealers. I was almost able to get an Audio packaged along with the Premium, but they could only do that with White. The color i got was metallic silver, and the MSRP was 31,655, so i successfully lowered it about 7,000. I live close in Orange County, and i bought it from Cerritos Power Volvo if you guys know where that is at.

| the extended warranty extended the basic warranty to 100,000 miles over 8 years. It was about 1950, we bargained even on the warranty from about 2100 but not much was saved there. | |

okay, well i went by the dealership again today...sticker price is 30...$31,055 after taxes and fees. last week their initial offer was $27,6...juuuust under $29 with taxes and fees. their offer today (after i told them i was interested in $24): $27,417.41....$28,600 total. why do these people they can still try and get a profit out of it?!?!? it's been there for months and it won't sell. i mentioned how other dealerships were offering up to $5000 and $6000 off msrp and his response was 'well maybe those were loaner cars.' unbelievable. so then i say, okay well $26. his response: 'well if you take away some options, maybe the 2.4, but you can't go that low on this model (t5).' sooooo...what do you guys think of this? they ain't bluffin...they seriously expect this car to sell for less than $3000 under sticker. i guess ill be lookin at other cars now, or look around at other dealerships. ugh!

Replying to: jkao (Jul 27, 2006 10:51 am) anyway, it's black t5 with premium package (well at least it's got the beige leather, sunroof, and power front seat). nothing else really regarding upgrades...not 17's...wired with the sirius, but not installed...no climate package, no navigation system, no premium headlights, no 6-cd changer. pretty much a base t5 with spoiler, the power sunroof, leather, and power front seat w/ memory (premium package i assume). oh, and i'm in alabama. since i am a college student, i wonder if they just think i don't know anything about these cars...i've already contacted dealerships around where i am in school (in florida).

Her whole message was that her dealership would rather make profit than match a volvo with a young customer who more than likely will buy more volvos as the years pass on (that's not exactly what she said ,but that's what I heard. Her actual words were "to not sell it just for the sake of gettin it off the lot". So, I ended up gettin 5400 under msrp and about 2500 under invoice and a very happy experience. You just have to find a dealer who places a higher priority on cust. service than profit( the S40's are probably loss leaders and XC90's are where there real money is. (I'm probably wrong about that, who am I? )
