You are absolutely right, bornracer. The money factor that you were quoted for this car is absurd. Volvo Finance's current 48 month buy rate lease money factor for the 2007 S60 R is only .00080. If you decide to lease through an independent bank instead of Volvo Finance, this car is eligible for a $5,500 cash incentive. If I was quoted the deal that you mentioned, I personally would shop around with a different dealer.

Hey Brian. According to the latest information that I have seen, Volvo Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Volvo S60 2.5T base model with 15,000 miles per year are .00108 and 48%, respectively. I would be happy to give you my opinion of this deal, but in order for me to do so I need you to provide me with this car's MSRP and selling price.

Hello Car_man,
 
Aprreciate the feedback on the volvo lease.
 
Prior to your response, the dealer has informed me of a new lease deal on 2007 S60R going through US Bank.
 
MSRP: 47290 ($44093 is invoice) Profit=$3197+$389 holdback
Lease incentive from USB: 9500
Cap cost: 36000 (got an extra $1790 off MSRP)
Fees(doc+ govt + inventory tax): 259.31
Sec Dep: 550
term: 48mo
miles/yr: 12K
initial payment(sec dep+1st pmt): $1086.31
Residual: 17497.30 (37%)
MF: 0.00232
 
mo. pmt: 536.31
 
For some reason, I feel like there is something left on the table. I have a beacon of over 800.
 
Do you know what MF I should be paying from US Bank?
 
Dealer stated this is a tax "free" lease.
Not sure who covers the 6.25% texas tax based on entire cap cost. volvo, US Bank, or dealer?
If volvo or US Bank are responsible, dealer is making about $1800.
 
If dealer responsible for tax, then they are not making anything unless US Bank is kicking something back to them such as a funding fee which could be $500-$1000.
 
1). Do you know who is paying tax?
 
2). By the way, I do qualify for X-plan ($44241) but dealer stated this does not qualify for tax included deal.
 
3) Based on your comment before about the $5500. Would this be in addition to the 9500 US bank is throwing in?
 
4). Does it seem reasonable or doable to get x-plan - US Bank discount - Volvo credit. $44093-$9500-$5500?
 
thanks in advance.
 
bornracer.

Hello car man,
 
A.) I have been reading that if you are going to put any money down on a lease, you should add it to the security deposit?
 
    1). What does this do for you(is there any benefit)?
 
    2). if the car is totaled, wrecked, or returned early, do you lose it(are there any negatives)?
 
B). Can a lease agreement be modified if you do not like the language or you need a more defined statement in writing(not just a scribble on a napkin from the dealer).
For instance, what actually constitutes normal wear and tear?
or who inspects the vehicle upon return? can I have an independent shop give a second opinion?
 
thanks

Bornracer,
 
I am not carman but I just turned in a Volvo off lease so I thought I would share my experience. The car was leased on Volvo paper and it comes with "wearcare" which basically waves the costs to you of the first $1,000 of excess wear and tear. About 2 mos before the lease ended, volvo sent us a detailed brochure and measuring tool so we would know what we potentially could be charged with. I tend to be concerned about wear and tear especially when it is not specifically spelled out at the time the lease is signed but in this case, Volvos parameters were more than reasonable. We had a couple of scratches in the bumper which were considered excess wear and tear but since the cost was well below $1,000, we did not have to pay anything. There were a couple of small doors dings which were considered below the threashold for excess wear and tear.

thanks dmauto. not sure if the US Bank option has this in their deal. Did the dealership state this or the contract state you have $1000 toward wear and tear? was it something you negotiated?

the wearcare is something that came with the car i turned in - the car was leased on volvo paper. not sure what us banks guidelines are on this - you could call them to find out.

US Bank does not include wear insurance.
