adfreak - The front wheel drive version of the car is fine, but if you live in an area that receives a great deal of snow, I would recommend the AWD. Do you live in NJ? What dealer have you been negotiating with? Please feel free to email me with more questions.

S60 Lease with Z plan by conran

Hi
Please help me determine if good deal based on this info from dealer:
 
MSRP of the vehicle is $33,775 and with Volvo's Value Pack savings you are at $36,300. **What's a value pack and why is it costing me money?**
 
"Z" plan price is my invoice price of $31,656 minus the "Z" plan incentives brings you down to $26,656., which is the Cap Cost or sale price of the lease.
**Salesman keeps trying to say I'm saving 10K - $36300 to $26656; really?!**
 
Premium and climate packages plus metallic paint
**Cleveland, heated seats....hope I use them**
 
The Lease is for 48 months w/12,000 miles per year. The monthly payment, including tax, is $334.82 with Inception Fee's due at signing of $1,023.76 which break down as follows: $334.82-- First months payment
                                                                                  $625.00-- Bank Fee
                                                                                  $ 48.44--Tax on Bank Fee
                                                                                  $ 15.50-- Title Fee and Temporary 30 day tag.
                                                                                  $ 0.00-- Security Deposit and Documentary Fee are waived on "Z"
                                                                                 _________
                                                                                  $1,023.76-- Total due at signing
 
5. Lease Rate or Money Factor is 1.86 which equates to an interest rate of 4.46%.
 
The Residual or Buyout price at lease end is $15,609.00.
=========
Okay, so the payment's not too bad, loving rate versus buying. Trying to refi home before leasing but of course the special is only good to 2/29. Anyone have any scoop on March lease specials .Any advice?
Thanks!

It looks like the Value Package is a discount that appears on the Monroney sticker.. Without the discount on the sticker, the MSRP would be $36,300.
 
Of course you really aren't saving that money...
 
But, on the plus side, it looks like they use the higher number ($36,300), to calculate the residual (43% of $36,300), so that is why the payment is nice and low...
 
It's a decent lease deal... if you can live with a 4-year lease.. (I can't..lol)
 
regards,

I'd take the deal this month if you can.
Bank residuals are gonna drop in March.
Plus, Volvo is not committed to lease incentives for the S60 much past March anyway.
So, I doubt you will see any increase in factory support, and you will have a lower residual to boot.

eights38 - I'm in RI and the offer came from Inskip Volvo. As hard as we got hit with snow on Fri, I'm inclined to agree that AWD is the way to go.

Lease new S60 and S80 or buy out old, leases? by s60leaser
Feb 24, 2008 (9:18 am)

Hi Car Man,
My 2 Volvo leases are up in June. I am happy to buy them out OR lease new ones-My main concern is COST.
 
Here are the #s
S-80-2.5Tawd,leather,40K miles(by June)
 
1)My Cost to buy out lease:$24,000 plus 5% interest rate /5 year loan on $ I would use to buy,or $481/Mo,total Interest paid over life of loan=$3,200.
 
2) My cost to turn in car, $2kmileage,$2Krepairs- $1K allowance=$3,000
 
3)Kelly Blue Book Value=Trade-$16.2,PrivParty-$18.8,Retail-$22.7
 
 4) My cost to lease a new s80, which is what I would do, for a similarly equipped car and 36 m,15K lease I estimate at $450/mo, but have done very little research.
 
S60 2.5Tawd,leather,30kmiles (by June)
 
1) My cost to buy out lease=$20,400 plus 5% interest rate /5 year loan on $ I would use to buy, or $384/mo.Total Interest paid over loan=$2700
 
2) My cost to turn in car= $3K repairs less $1K repair allowance=$2,000
 
3) Kelly BBValue=Trade-$15.8,privPrty-$18.2,Retail-$22.1
 
4) My cost to lease a new s-60, similarly equipped, 36M, 15K, which I would do, is approx. $350-$400/mo, but I have done very little research.
 
So,do I start shopping or buy the cars-or just one of them-when the lease is up in June? I am trying to reduce my expenses- and I have 3 teenage drivers in the family(that explains all the repair costs...)
Any help is much appreciated.

were those both 2yr/15k mile leases to begin with? So they are '05 models?
 
I'm making that assumption since you say the S80 with 40k miles will cost you $2k in mileage fees (10k miles x 20 cents?).
 
And, if that is the case, you probably shouldn't lease another one at 15k/yr since you will go over by 15k total miles over the 3 years.

Thank you for the rsponse-
Yes they are both 2005, both are 10K miles/year, so I could go with 15K and be OK. THe s80 is currently at 36K but I assume 40K by lease end.The s60 is fine with miles, but needs Cosmetics 2K
 
Does that help?
 
Do you think the RV is negotiable on these?

Probably depends on the bank they are leased with. I saw vmax's response to you in the RWTIV board and it looks like neither of these is worth the buyout NOW, never mind 4 months from now. So if they won't negotiate buyout, then it looks like turning them in is your best option.
 
You also may want to think twice about financing them for 5 years if you do buy them out. I mean, you gotta do what you want, but just think that they will be 8 years old before you are done paying for them.

Even if I have to pay $ for mileage and cosmetic/repair to turn in?
 
Thanks so much for the input. I hadn't considered the "8 yrs old" point..
