Yup, you made my point.
 
You can have GAP on a finance, too. So, really, if your goal is to have the least money at risk, then you should always carry GAP and never put money down, regardless of financing or leasing.
 
however, it seems people don't take that stance. Popular opinion seems to be putting down as much as possible when financing, yet nothing when leasing. Its contradictory, as far as I can see.

S40 -vs- C30 by s60leaser

Hello again Carman!
I am turning in my s60 and s80 leased cars(FINALLY!) for one car and am looking at the S40 and C30, primarily to save money but stay with a Volvo for the safety. (And I love driving a Volvo )With all the bad economic news, what are the current lease and buy deals in my area? I am in Ct.and can use the COSTCO auto buyers program
 
The one dealer phone call I have had so far mentioned lots of different numbers.(What a surprise) Of course, he immediately told me the best deal is on a move from an s60 to s80, even though I asked about an S40 and C30...
S80 #'s:
$7,250 discount non VCF lease
$1,000 rebate(?Why?)
$500 COSTCO program discount
=$8,750 Off INVOICE? Can that be right?
But, on a approx $40,000+ car I am still at 32K and a Mo. pymt around low 4's incl. tax.
 
 I tried to get some S40 #s , as I had asked for. Nothing yet.
 
The C30 he mentioned at $ 23,718 as a starting price,$750 purchase rebate or $1750 lease rebate, no more details than that.
So, QUESTIONS:
  • What numbers can I expect for the S40 and C30 ?
  • RV is important as I am still considering buying this car-now or off-lease.
  • Any info on the safety of the C30?
  • Any Volvo loyalty I can take advantage of?
  • Is the COSTO program worth using for Volvo?
     
    Once again, your insight is appreciated -and VERY helpful knowing these things before the first sit-down...

    Hi s60leaser, or should I say C30leaser . Volvo Finance is not currently running a special lease program on either the S40 or C30. As a result, if you were to lease either of them you will have to do so through an independent bank. The good news is that Volvo is currently providing special cash incentives on these cars when they are leased through independent banks. Specifically, Volvo is providing $1,750 on the 2008 C30 1.0, $2,250 on the C30 2.0, and $1,500 on the S40.
     
    The CostCo car buying program might save you some hassle if the dealer that they steer you towards is straightforward, but I very much doubt that it will provide you with a deal that's any better than what you could negotiate on your own.
