Where are the 2009s? by crestonave

With Volvo advertising "model year end clearance", where are the 2009s? I expect they will be as aggressive in trying to move those in a lousy economy.

Hi s60leaser. Volvo is only currently providing lease support on base S80 3.2 models. If you were to lease a base '08 S80 3.2 through Volvo Finance right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value would be .00118 and 48%, respectively. If you want to lease any other version of this car, you will be better off doing so through an independent bank.
 
To me, it doesn't make sense to buy out a lease before its scheduled end. Doing so will probably end up costing you more money than if you had waited until the scheduled end of your lease and compared your car's purchase price to what you would have to pay for a similar car on the open market.
 
The interest portion of your car's lease payment is based upon the selling price that you negotiate, but the depreciation portion is based upon a percentage of its full MSRP. Banks base their residual values upon cars' MSRPs because theoretically all S80s are worth the same amount at the end of three years, regardless of what selling price the lessee negotiated.

Hi crestonave. Volvo just published a new special lease program for 2009 models last week. If they aren't already at dealers I suspect that '09 Volvos will start to arrive very soon.

Hello Car_man, and thanks for your reply. Where can I find details on the 2009 lease program? I'm particularly interested in the XC70 which I've read will be available with the choice of a more powerful engine in 2009. Thanks!

Metallic paint
Sport package
Climate package
PCC
Sat Prep
Blind Spot
 
$0 down (just tags)
$491/month plus tax
36 months
12,000 miles/year
 
It seems to be too good a deal to pass up!

That seems like a good deal to me...I got the same car, sans the metallic paint (got black) and blind spot, but with 15K miles/yr and nothing down at all (rolled in all inceptions) for the exact same payment, same term. No brainer if you ask me. Sport makes the car...zubra 18s, low profile tires, variable suspension, cooled sport seats, reticulating bi-zenons. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I should push for 15k. It's tough finding one with sport though!

Thanks for the great advice. I'm actually in preliminary talks for a used (demo) 2008 S80 3.2 model with 6,000 miles. The only upgrades are PCC and the climate package. I haven't really started negotiating yet, so I wanted to get some advice from you before I head back in there to cut a deal this weekend.
 
Since the car was a demo, it is eligible for the new car program, meaning, I can still lease it. After reading your last comment ("money factor and residual value would be .00118 and 48%, respectively"), I feel like I need to negotiate those terms more aggressively. I had already planned on questioning the dealership about them, but if you say that I should be getting better terms, I'll make sure I don't sign before something changes. Then again, you may tell me that because the car is used, then my terms are spot-on. Either way, I would think that the residual factor should essentially be the same, new or used.
 
The lease terms I have been given so far are as follows:
 
MSRP: $39,950
Capitalized Cost: $29,000
Bank Fee: $995
Total Cap: $29,995
Cap Reduction: $3,025.27
Net Cap: $26,969.73
Residual: $17,267.15 (43.22%)
Money Rate: .00209
MONTHLY PAYMENT: $361.98 (+28.05 tax = $390.03)
 
So basically, aside from the money rate and residual issue, is there anything else that glares out at you that I should address? From some of the discounts that people listed above, I feel like they should be giving me more discounts (although the car is used, so my initial capitalized cost is significantly lower).
 
Thanks for your help!

Well, opted for the V8 after all (instead of the T6). It seems like it's a really great lease deal at the moment.
 
MSRP $57,000 (everything except Nav & Collision Package)
Cap Cost $39,654 (selling price)
Residual $24,500
 
36 month lease / 12,000 miles per year
$2,100 down
$527/month
 
Total cost of use: $21,100/36 mos.
 
Anyone do better than this?
