Replying to: jay2001 (Mar 29, 2008 2:09 pm) I just came back from the Boston volvo dealer after 2 hrs of negotiation and test drive for my first time the S80 3.2. On my case, I think there is a problem for that dealer of Boston getting the car by 3/31... in fact, (not sure if they are bullshiting me or not...), they told me that those national promotion black or white S80 3.2 basic car are not really available in any where in Boston, Volvo never really ship those cars to their dealer. So by the time that they will get the car (which will be from NJ port), it will be 3-4 weeks and that national promotion will be expired... To get the promotion the car must be at their dealer on 3/31 in order to complete all the paperworks, etc. I told him that seems to be a scam of Volvo ads to me... On the other hand, they are trying to convince me to take another of their existing in stock S80 3.2 with climate package, Silver metallic paint... (no portable NAV thus). They quote me the total down is total of $3990 by Chase vs total of $3450 (already included all the titles, etc.) by Volvo Financial national ads. The Monthly Fee is 343/month chase vs 359/month volvo, 10,000miles/yr chase vs 10,500miles/yr volvo as advertised in NewEnglandVolvo Retailer.com.... My wife and I were a bit disappointed and frustrated and left the dealer with no deal yet... Dear all Experts in this forum... do you think my dealer is trying to BS and scam me? or do you think that is still similar and good deal as the current Volvo national ads? Thanks for your advice Chuchumouth (Boston)

You may wish to reconsider going with alternative bank though, because there's no guarantee that there wouldn't be any surprises after the end of the lease. Also, Volvo waives $1000 in damages at the end of the lease, but does charge $395 in "termination fees". Other banks may not waive anything at all and might nickel and dime you to death for every little nick and scratch on the vehicle. BTW, did you have any luck with that elusive coupon/mailer?

Replying to: jay2001 (Mar 29, 2008 7:08 pm) First of all, I think any dealer telling you that you'd have to wait weeks and weeks to get an S80 the way you want is full of it. It's true that most of the 3.2s are ordered with the climate pkg, but that only adds a few dollars on the lease, not really enough to make a big difference. Judging from the numbers you wrote from Boston, I think you should get your car here in NY! Seriously,the car I returned last month when I got my S80 was a Lexus ES330 which I leased in New Jersey. They were more than happy to deal with me, and at the time, it beat any of the NY dealers. Now Jay...if you want to do this tomorrow, here's what I'd recommend. I presume you're on Long Island.....you need to be a member of the Teacher's Federal Credit Union. You should open an account with as little as $5 (see if there's a branch near you). Look at their website and on the home page, you'll see a link to the Volvo promotion. They deal through GrooveCar which you can call and tell them you are a member of Teachers FCU and you want to take advantage of the $500 coupon. I'm not sure where on LI you are, but if you're near Huntington, I may be able to save you some more money. Let me know if you are. The 3.2 S80 should not cost you more than low $2000s down and low $300s a month for a 27 month lease through Teachers FCU. If you have numbers from a dealer on LI, I'm sure I can get you a better price. Also, if GrooveCar tells you that you must go to one of their dealers, tell them that's fine, as that's no problem. The only hitch is that you have to be able to say you're a member before dealing for the car. If you become a member in order to get the lease, they won't give you the $500 off. Good luck, and let me know how things go. |

Replying to: shaker58 (Mar 31, 2008 6:23 am) As explained, there is no auto show code that can be used in NY. If you are in NY and are on or near Long Island, you can get the $500 deal through Teachers Federal Credit Union through today. The lease rate through this credit union is better than the national ad. If you are making the deal tonight, and are on LI, I can get some more money off at the dealership.Let me know if this is the case. I'll check back before 6PM.

| I was just offered an S80 T6 AWD with the climate package and the blind spot detector for around $35,000 (MSRP was a little over $44,000) and a lease payment of about $450 a month and 12,000 miles a year with $0 down ($2900 down for taxes and fees). How does this price look? | |

Replying to: beardie (Mar 31, 2008 12:43 pm)  Now, it's true that you do need a confirmation letter from Volvo, but I had someone stop by the NY Autoshow on the 11th hour and fill out the form. To make a long story short, I (or rather my wife) am $500 richer So, at the end , we are paying $362 (plus tax) per month, 24months, 10kmiles/year with $0/0/0 at signing for a $39500 car. In my opinion that's a lot of car for the money .

| Hi. I am in NY (on LI) and leased an S80 in Huntington in March. It is financed through TFCU. Is it still possible to get the $500 you mentioned? Or am I completely out of luck? What do I need to do? I don't currently have an account with TFCU, just the lease. Thanks for any info you can offer. | |
