#85 of 263 Just pulled the trigger on 2.4i Auto Select Climate Metallic by longhornjeff Jul 25, 2006 (12:37 pm)
Well, I had to go out of state to do it, but I just put a down payment on the EXACT car I wanted (as if I had ordered it). I am a recent college grad, and needed the lowest monthly payments possible so I can start to build my bank account. So I did a 63 month lease. Here are the details... 2006 Volvo S40 2.4i, Automatic, Select Package, Climate Package, Flint Gray Metallic, Taupe T-Tec 63 mo. lease 12k mi./mo. MSRP - $29,085 Gross Cap Cost - $23,700 MF - 0.00201 Res - %29 (8434.65) Down - $572 Monthly Payment - $320 Another great thing I found out is that the car only recently arrived in the states (5/2006), so it hasn't been sitting on a dealer lot soaking up the sun for the past 11 months!

Replying to: Car_man (Jul 23, 2006 5:00 pm) Car_man, It was indeed through an independent bank. I took Wells Fargo to them to get the incentive and they insisted on US Bank.---so I insisted on a bigger discount to go with US Bank. The car's great. You guys run an awesome forum.

Replying to: alpinehills (Jul 24, 2006 11:45 am) Thanks for the additional information, alpinehills. For the month of August, I believe that Volvo eliminated its lease support on the 2006 S40. That means if you want to lease one you are going to have to do so through an independent bank instead of Volvo Finance. This isn't really a big deal because when Volvo's cash incentives are taken into account independent banks often are the best option to lease them. In August, Volvo is providing a total of $3,250 in cash incentives on the '06 S40. Make sure to use this cash to negotiate an attractive selling price on the car that you want.

Replying to: Car_man (Aug 09, 2006 2:55 am) Looking to lease an s40 T5 in TX and would like to get in with minimum down and minimum mileage. Can you tell me what I can expect from MSRP, residual, finance rate, etc. for 36 and 48 months? Replies to this message: Car_man (Sep 10, 2006 7:59 am)

Replying to: Car_man (Aug 31, 2005 5:33 pm) Car Man, I just moved to San Francisco and am looking to lease a 2006 S40 T5 with the following specifications: > Titanium Grey Metallic > Premium Package > Audio Package > Park Assist Front and Rear > 36-month lease > 12,000 miles/year MSRP on the Volvo website is $33,744. I am planning on putting $3,500 down, which gets me to a calculated payment of $469/month. Based on what I have read throughout this forum that seems a bit high. Is it safe to assume that I can knock off ~$4,500 in looking for an '06? Replies to this message: Car_man (Sep 10, 2006 8:03 am)

Replying to: longhornjeff (Jul 25, 2006 12:37 pm) Wow...a 63 month lease and a 320 payment. I did a 48 month lease(as long as the warranty) everything you have except select pkg for 365...I guess a 45 extra dollars is lot of money. Wow a 63 month lease !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't even know they had such a thing .Wow a 63 month lease..was 64 too long ...JK! bye the way I put nothing down, Edmonnds doesn't recommend a lease longer than the reg warranty....

#93 of 263 ??? by stanwelks Aug 23, 2006 (11:39 pm)
I have been negotiating the price for an 07 S40 at around $27k. I am now thinking that it might be a better idea to consider leasing it. How should I expect this to affect the price that I was negotiating now that I might be leasing it? Do dealers try to charge more for a lease than for a purchase?

Replying to: stanwelks (Aug 23, 2006 11:39 pm) Don't let it affect it at all. You can and should negotiate price in the same manner as if you were purchasing. I once fell for the myth of no neg for leases...BS. Talk price first..settle it firm.
