Really?!? Can you tell me which dealer?
 
I am also considering a loaded Toyota Highlander (Limited) that has a MF of .00001. However, my wife is obsessed with the Volvo ...
 
Thanks!

Really... the Highlander has a .00001 m.f.? That's hard to beat and the Volvo guy I spoke with said the m.f. was in the .00252 range. Mentioned waiting for the 2009s for better residuals (oh yes, those weren't good either) but how are they going to move the 08s with numbers like these?
 
Still trying to decide myself... looking at xc90, highlander and odyssey (i know).
 
Cheers!

In NJ at least, the MF on a highlander is .00001. Totally incredible.
 
If I didn't live in Hoboken, I'd probably consider an Odyssey too.

well, i've heard from friends that you can't go wrong with the highlander. if you can get a better price on that car, then maybe it's the way to go.
 
i agree with another responder to your post - you can get a lower price, especially with the 09's already on board. the key is getting the capcost/lease price as low as possible since the mf/residuals just plain suck.
 
just ask the area dealers (e.g. montclair/both kundert sites/ramsey/smythe/prestige) if they can go lower, you have been talking with the other dealers, etc... and i am sure they will drop the capcost/lease price. since you are at hoboken, it would be easier to do this all on-line, which is what i did...
 
again, good luck.

An m.f. of .00252 is absolutely NOT competitive. I leased my XC90 this time of year when the '07's were released and received a .00077 m.f. for a new model. That is what swung my decision in favor of hte Volvo over the Mercedes, Audi, BMW, and Acura.

Wow, that is an amazing m.f. for the Highlander. Probably better mileage, too. I do like the Volvo's safety though.
 
Okay, call me dense but I cannot figure out the part about Hoboken and an Odyssey? It's also 3am so that might be an issue too
 
Anyone know if Volvo changed their tune this month with m.f. or anything else to motivate us?
 
Cheers!

Yeah - it doesn't make much sense ... basically don't want to be seen by the 20 something year olds driving away in a minivan. minivans just aren't "cool." yes that is stupid and vain but apparently my wife came to the same conclusion.
 
I'll let you know Saturday whether I get the Highlander or Volvo. Right now, Highlander deal is no money down 36 mths, 12k/yr zero down $640/mth. I hope to get it down under 600 for a fully loaded limited 7psgr awd.
 
Current volvo deal i am getting is same as another post: 39mths / 39k miles 1950 down and $555 / mth. For a V8 w/ climate and blis. Going to try to get dvd thrown in to mix.
 
All depends on which car my wife likes better.

let us know what you end up with! i'd be very curious if they throw in the dvd - i tried, but to no avail.
 
i still think you could potentially go lower? which dealership is giving you that deal?
 
good luck. as to the minivan issue, i totally understand. but i think we are just delaying the inevitable, eh?

Thanks guys... I totally agree with you on the minivan thing. I'm vain too and pretty much that's why I am still on the fence and visiting the Highlander and Volvo boards! They are not cool at all but I do have twin toddlers and dang it if that sliding door would be handy during a downpour and/or when trying to wrangle them into the car from a busy parking lot. But still... I have yet to pull the trigger. The 3 yr lease is optimal so that I'm only stuck driving the land yacht for not terribly long (depending on who you talk to!).
 
What's with the Volvos? Their deals don't seem too fabulous. My guy said they'd get better later this year with m.f. and certainly then residuals but I'm not sure he even knows - just a guess.
 
jk - what does the volvo lease do w/zero down? Is it comparable to the Highlander? My money's on your wife liking the Volvo for the status and because the Highlander looks more truck-ish. Just my 2 cents
 
Let us know what you do and good luck!

ps - I have no help here because my husband would drive his old Tercel (!) if he still had it. Sigh.

Well -- after a looong day, we drove home with the Volvo. Experience at Toyota was awful from the moment we stepped into the dealership - from waiting around to the salesman -- despite making an appt for a test drive of a limited of which they had none of on the lot!!! And neither of us liked the Highlander - either the drive or the look. The inside of the Highlander is very plastic and bulky looking (best I can describe it - you are totally right marinite). Volvo is much more enjoyable to drive and inside has a great feel.
 
No one was willing to do the 39mth/39k lease for $1950 down and $555/mth. At 36 months/36k lease was coming out at $3800 and $555 / mth for the 2008 XC90 V8 w/ climate and blis. Dealer supposedly losing $500 with those numbers but willing to do the deal to move the car. So after negotiating this is what we got:
 
2008 XC90 V8 with climate / blis / rear ent. system (at dealer cost - $1547) / cross rails ($175) for 48 months - $3600 down (includes all costs & first payment) and $559/month. Residual is around $14,000 (35%). Cost of the car was $37,050 (w/ taxes etc). MSRP is $52k.
 
Not a great deal but in the end I'm ok with it. I was willing to leave and go to another dealer but my wife - who is 5 mths pregnant was just like "oh let's take it." I was like "you're killing me here." In retrospect I should have gotten the cost of the car down to $35k. Damn it.
 
What kills is that there is no residual on the rear ent. system. So basically, I am going to remove the head rests when I turn it in 4 years because they will be mine. Or I'll just buy the car.
 
Also re: minivan - friends just bought a 2008 Odyssey Touring (all bells & whistles). I drove that and definitely didn't like the way it handled.
 
If anyone is in NJ, I found out after had leaseed from a different Volvo dealer that Montclair Volvo is going out of business and that they are having a fire sale. So go there first.
 
Cheers.
