Hey Everyone I am new at this so I wanted to ask for some opinions...Please Help!
I have been out test driving cars and I found the car I want
2007 s40 T5 AWD
Automatic
Premium Pkg
Climate Pkg w/ Bi-xenon
Audio Pkg
and Metallic Paint
The MSRP on this car is $35,917 and the invoice is $33,575 What do you guys think a good price would be?
The prices I have been quoted seem WAY higher then everything I have read on here, like around $34,000. I dont think the dealers are taking me seriously, I am a college student..and a girl, so I think they just think I'm stupid and don't know what I'm doing. And I live in Portland OR and there are only 2 Volvo dealerships in town, so I dont really have a lot of options.
Thanks!

Hi, I just got a quote that I have not negotiated yet for the following:
$34,291 total but not including taxes, registration, conveyance fee
2007 Volvo S40 AWD
T5 4dr Sedan (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 5A)
Optional Equipment
-- Premium Package
-- Dynamic Trim Package
-- Audio Package
--Climate Package
--Metallic Paint
Color: Silver Metallic/Off-Black Leather
I was also quoted $31,368 for the same car but T5 only and not FWD.
Hope that helps!
P.S. I am a woman too!

I have no luck finding a 2006 S40 2.4i automactic, T-tec, select and climate pacakge. So I am moving on to 2007 with the same options. MSRP = $29,310. The first quote I got is $25,500 (tax and fee extra), about $4,000 of MSRP. I think that's pretty good in the New England area. Let's see if I can get them a little lower!!!!!

From reading the board, i think that $4000 off MSRP isn't bad at all for a new 2007. That's about 13% off msrp. When i was shopping for '07 2.4i AT base, i was offerred 12% off MSRP. Seems like that's the going rate with these '07's.
Do you know if the $4000 off contains a discount for using Volvo financing? And was the $4000 off a result of mentioning pricing to the "other" dealer? You may be able to get a sweeter deal by presenting the numbers to the "other" dealer. Plus, if you bring them the numbers and they say "No way!" --you know you have the best deal at the first dealership.
Best of luck. Let us all know how you fair.

I'm looking at the same thing, and that seems like a good price. What does the Edmunds TMV show for your area? Seems like around here (NJ), they're going for around 500 below sticker.

Edmunds TMV is showing around $28,300 for a 07 S40 2.4i autmatic, select and climate packages. Carsdirect is about $27,500. So the quote I got ($25,500) was really good and other dealers can't match it. The problem is they gave me really low on my trade in (2004 Honda element). The lowest I checked online is around $14,000 trade in value. They gave me $12,000 which is insulting!!! Not sure if it is because a Japanese trading at a Volvo dealership?? If I take my car to a Honda dealership, may be I'll get something closer. That's why I am starting to consider a Acura TSX. Lordy, doing it all over again  !!

We just got a black 2006 S40 T5 Auto with climate & bi-xenon headlamps and premium package with 7000 miles on it (demo) for $24,300 ($25,800 OTD) -- MSRP was $31,817, ended up paying about 76.5% of MSRP or ~$1 per mile off. I was originally looking at a 2.4 auto, no options (quoted $24,700 out the door -- $1100 less that what we ended up paying), but couldn't ignore the better engine, leather, sunroof, heated seats, etc. -- You may be able to find a demo vehicle mow if you don't mind a few miles on the car to start. Oh -- the warranty is still 4 years/50,000 miles, but the clock hasn't started yet -- still have 4 full years and ~43,000 miles -- be sure to ask about it if you look at a demo.

Thanks for your help! We went ahead and purchased the car after comparing prices with other out of state dealers. The big problem has been getting the car delivered to us via a transport company - we've been waiting over a week and still do not have the car! Needless to say, we're disappointed and ANGRY over this issue. Still hope we made the best deal on the car b/c the dealer certainly didn't come through with their choice in a transport company! Any advice on how to handle this delivery fiasco?

I got a quote yesterday of $25,800, close to what you got but I'd still like to do better than that. Another dealer presented some 0% finance options, so I will have to weigh my options and keep looking.

Alrighty, I almost gave up on the S40. Finally I got my S40 for $25,300 plus tax and fee today. The process went pretty smoothly. I belive it is a very good deal, $4,010 off MSRP for a 2007. Thanks everyone for their help!! I am one happy person with a car loan  ??
