#35 of 51 Re: MFs and Residuals [volvobuff] by timmboj May 10, 2007 (4:31 am)
Replying to: volvobuff (May 09, 2007 7:05 am) Thanks for the info. Very helpful. I didn't know about the suspension automatically added with the AWD. I want the 6-speed manual, so I'm stuck with the AWD and the stiffer suspension, but I like the AWD, and the suspension will most-likely be ok with me. I'm looking for something sporty, yet utility-ish. But I'll test both just to feel the difference. BTW: what type of fuel mileage are folks getting with a T5 AWD V50?

Replying to: timmboj (May 10, 2007 4:31 am) My guess is that Volvo opted not to offer the 6-speed manny tranny on the 2.4i and T5 models because it would have been way too easy to spin the drive wheels on acceleration with the FWD models. Both engines, but especially the T5, seem to have a lot more power and torque than their rather modest HP ratings would seem to indicate. Or maybe I just drive with a very heavy foot...   If you find the ride on the T5 AWD to be too stiff, you can always mitigate that problem with other tires. The OE Michelin Energy MXV4 S8 tires are really disappointing in both ride and handling; I plan to replace mine with Bridgestone Turanza LS-V tires as soon as possible.
#37 of 51 incentives still around by lhandelsman Jul 07, 2007 (8:51 pm)
Hey all,   does anyone know if the 3rd party lease incentives are still around? How does that work? Do i need to have a lease worked out before I walk in the door or do I tell the finance guy at signing that I want to go 3rd party (after negotiating)?   And whats the current MF and residual on a 2007 2.4i 48 mth lease? 10K, 12K, or 15k if you know them.   Thanks!
#38 of 51 2007 or 2008 Volvo V50 lease questions by rxke Jul 15, 2007 (5:26 am)
HI   What is the money factor and residual value for a V50 in NY with 15K per year and a 36 or 39 month lease. I read in Automotive News that dealers are getting up to $2250 in incentives. I had that confirmed with a salesman.   Thanks RXKE
#39 of 51 2008 V50 Lease deal? by ryanc111 Sep 18, 2007 (2:45 pm)
Ok, I hit an elk with my old car so am now in the need of a new car quickly. I live up in the mountains in Colorado and am looking at the 2008 V50 T5AWD. I have a quote from Roaring Fork Volvo in Glenwood Springs as follows: MSRP: 38,817 Cap cost: 33,444 Total out of pocket: 2,874 36 months - 15k/year 515/month   Unfortunately I don't have any of the other details on the loan (residual, money value, details of out of pocket expenses) yet.   I don't have a lot of time to do much research here - what's the consensus? Is this a fair deal? Replies to this message: Car_man (Sep 26, 2007 2:35 am)

Replying to: ryanc111 (Sep 18, 2007 2:45 pm) Hi ryanc111. You hit an Elk with your old car . I hope that everyone is OK. I could see where that would do some damage. Interestingly enough, a number of years ago I believe that I read an article about how a manufacturer, and if my memory is correct it was a Swedish manufacturer like Volvo or Saab before they were bought out, that conducted moose crash tests on new vehicles.   Let's take a look at the deal that you were quoted. You are being given a huge discount on this car, over $5,000. This leads me to believe that the dealer you are working with is running your deal through a bank other than Volvo Finance. Volvo is currently providing a special $4,250 cash incentive on '08 V50 T5 AWD models that are leased through independent banks. When I add this cash to the likely $2,500 spread that this car has between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price I come up with a total of $6,750 to play with. This probably puts the selling price that you were quoted at around $1,300 over invoice or so. This isn't bad, but it wouldn't hurt to shop around a little bit to see if you can beat this price by a couple hundred dollars if you have the time.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
#41 of 51 48 month vs. 24 month lease??? by migity Dec 05, 2007 (12:02 am)
I am trying to work with a local dealer for a l24 month lease with little, to no down. I am looking at the base model, it does have fog lights & moon roof, but not much more. I was asking for a monthly payment in the mid $300's. They came back with $1,500 down and a $414 monthly for 48 months!?!?   I told them that I did not want such a long term lease and they said that the payments will be a lot more for a 36 or 24 month lease. Is this right? It seems that the residual will be a lot less after 48 months? Are they BSing me here. If not, why are so many attractive lease payments on other cars between 24 and 36 months? Why would this be different?   Nick

#43 of 51 v50 2.4 lease by rumblebumble Mar 07, 2008 (11:29 am)
Hi,   In Massachusetts here and trying to get my arms around a potential lease. Do we know what current deals are for this car? I want to be well armed before entering dealer. Thanks.

Replying to: rumblebumble (Mar 07, 2008 11:29 am) You might want to contact Farrell Volvo in Southboro. I have recently leased two Volvos from them (S40 and V50) and can highly recommend them for excellent lease pricing and straightforward honest no-hassle customer relationships. Can't say as much for the half dozen other Eastern MA dealerships that I contacted. Replies to this message: rumblebumble (Mar 07, 2008 12:18 pm) volvobuff (Mar 07, 2008 12:55 pm)
