well, that's sounding alot more realistic. Did you figure out what went wrong with the other deal?
 
what you have now is pretty much in line with what leasecompare is showing, so it looks good.
 
by the way, financing a car for 7 years is nuts. Granted, 6.25% on a 7-year note is pretty darn good, but would you really want to be making payments on a car after 6 years and 90k miles? I've come to the realization that if I can't pay off a car in 5 years, then I can't afford it.
 
In any case, thanks to the lease incentives on volvos, it is far better to lease, then buy it out.

I actually never had any deal lined up...I was just coming up with figures on my own. To be honest, I really only even started researching the Volvos a few days ago since it's for my girl and she wasn't thinking about a new car until she heard one of the ads. I myself am an Infiniti G35 owner and am VERY well researched when it comes to that one. Right now, this car is looking to be a piece of cake to make a deal compared to my G. Now, I just need them to come up on the trade-in we are bringing Out of curiosity...do you think that there might still be room to get them down on the cap cost? Thanks for your help.

i don't know about dropping the cap cost. honestly, i didn't even know about the $5k incentive until you brought it up. But what is the invoice on the car mentioned above? I would say if you are more than $100 over invoice, then yes, you probably have room. Anything less than that is just icing.

when you say $100 over invoice are you talking about BEFORE incentives? Because right now with the incentives, it's definitely below invoice by quite a bit. Right now the current invoice on this configuration is $26717 and the cap cost is $21323. There is also Lojack on the option sheet and it's listed at $695, but the cap cost and MSRP was not increased. So it appears to be about $5400 below invoice with free Lojack.

yes, before incentives. So if you are $400 below, plus lojack, then I think that's a very good deal.

T5 Financing numbers by sprinkler13

Does anyone have an idea of the difference in residuals between an S40 2.4 or an S40 T5? I received a quote for a T5 that was quite a bit below the 2.4 and I'm trying to estimate the finance numbers while waiting for a response from the dealer (They just gave me a configuration and a monthly payment...no specifics).
 
I thought that I had already received a really good quote for a 2.4 w/ Auto, Select, Sirius, and Lojack from another dealer, but all things being equal, if I can get the T5 with auto and premium for a bit less and have to lose lojack and sirius, it seems worth it right?

T5 Quote by sprinkler13

Ok...here is my current quote for a T5 with Premium. I have a couple of options as a couple of dealers have the same basic car just with different colors.
 
T5 Black/Black
w/ Premium
MSRP 31435
Selling price 21533
bank fee 595
adjusted Cap Cost: 22128
residual $13202
36/15k
tax 8.25%
Monthly Payment incl. tax 353/mo.
Upfront cost $615 (1st month, upfront tax, doc fee, registration)
 
The other T5 deal is for one with a metalic paint job, but the monthly payment is within a couple bucks.
 
I'm heading to the dealer to look at the black one tonight and hopefully they will just come down a bit to account for the 475 difference in the two cars. Seems like a decent price for this car.

Are these good numbers??? Lease S40 or S60??? by ferret

Hi All,
 
My the lease on my 2004 S40 ends this month and I'm in the market for a new car. I've really had to push to get the sales person to give me the money factor and and he is either great at pretending to not understand financing, or he really doesn't, but either way his wishy washy attitude on giving me all the numbers in 1 clear concise conversation leaves me feeling unsure of if I am getting a good deal or not with him. How do the following quotes seem to you? Is there room for a better deal here?
 
I've been given quotes for leasing an S40 2.4i with the select package for 3 years:
 
MSRP: $29,535
Residual: $13291
Money factor: .00237
12k miles a year
$950 due at signing includes 1st month payment, tax, tag, and title
 
S60 2.5T with premium package 48 month lease $359 a month
MSRP: $36,830
Residual: $24,000
Money Factor: .00215
12k miles a year
$1,000 due at signing includes 1st month payment, tax, tag, and title
 
Thanks for your advice!

I'm looking at S40s right now, too. Based on what I've been reading in these posts and the fact that I was quoted the price $26k for a completely loaded 2.4i , there is definately room to have a few thousand knocked off of that price or at least bump up to a T5.

The MF is likely to be different depending on what bank(s) your dealer is using. They have tons of incentives to use outside banks and they are definitely looking to blow out the remaining 2007s.
 
We went to one dealer who quoted us for s 2.4i with the select , auto, sirius and lojack for 36 years/15k miles a year for $379/month including tax and $600 at signing for 1st, registration, and doc fee. I was thinking it was a good quote until I went to another dealership and they quoted me on a T5 w/ premium, metalic paint, at $355 month including tax for 36/15k. I ended up going back to my original dealer and asking them about that quote and they ended up getting down to $350/month on a T5 w/ premium (no metalic). We went with this dealer since they had a better color choice than the other dealer with the same basic car. Up front we only had to pay 1st month, registration, and doc fee which came out to like $620 or something.
