#135 of 139 Dropping Resale? by 28firefighter Aug 15, 2009 (12:15 pm)
We are coming up on the 2010 model year, and many of us remember back in '07 when Volvo was offering tons of money cash back on leases from outside banks. The residuals on '07 R AWD's were in the low 17s on a 36 month lease.   With that in mind, wouldn't it make sense that the market is going to end up being flooded with all of these off lease S60 2.5, 2.5 AWD, and R AWD vehicles in the next 12 months at what seems like fire sale prices?   We have an S40 coming off lease in April, that had an original MSRP of 27,XXX and has a lease end residual of 13k - we will most certainly be buying it at lease end, but are also looking to maybe add an S60 AWD in the next year if the price was as low as it seems it could be. Thoughts? Replies to this message: volvomax (Aug 20, 2009 11:50 am)

Most of the pricing guides value the car at close to $23k, but I'd start at $21,500 and wouldn't pay more than $22k for it!   Usually, I'm not a big fan of former fleet cars (especially rentals), but this might be an exception to the rule. I know that Hertz used to offer products from Ford's luxury brands (Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo, Lincoln) as their "Prestige Collection". Typically, they were rented by more upscale customers than typical rentals. So the cars should be in very good condition, especially with such low mileage!   The original 4-year/50,000-mile warranty is still in effect, correct?

#138 of 139 2008 S60 2.5T 50,000 Miles - $15,000. Good Buy? by dukeshah Aug 24, 2009 (2:26 pm)
If it is indeed a good buy, should I purchase an extended warranty? My initial reasearch suggests that I can get an extended warranty (4 yr, 50,000 miles) for about $3,300.   Any thoughts or suggestions?   A Replies to this message: volvomax (Aug 25, 2009 4:04 pm)

Replying to: dukeshah (Aug 24, 2009 2:26 pm) Price is right about wholesale. Considering that the car is out of warranty, you may want to consider buying one.
