I then added $335.36 + $52.71, which gives me a pretax payment of $488.07.
 
Obviously, you meant $388.07. just clarifying for other readers.
 
But you did make a fatal mistake.
 
Cap cost of $24638 x residual of 51% = $12,565
 
Residual is from the MSRP. So its $33,392 x .51 = 17,029.92. Leaving you about $7600 to pay off. However, you are forgetting several fees that add to the cap cost, such as inception, bank, doc fees, and MVC.
 
My take away from performing this excercise is that regardless of how low I can get my cap cost, a lousy money factor will really jack the payments, right?
 
yup. But I think a lousy residual hurts more.
 
Your calculated MF seems awfully low, however. Last I checked, rates were in the mid .002 range. You can check out leasecompare.com to get an idea.

My 2005 S40 2.4i lease is expiring in April. Carman do you know what the current deals are from Volvo on a new S40? On my last lease Volvo was offering $1000 loyalty cash. I want to try to get in with zero money down and under $300 per month for 3 years. I do have access to the Ford X plan. I will be purchasing in Scottsdale Arizona.

2008 Vovlo S40 T5 by fogarty19

Carman, or whoever may be able to help,
I'm looking to lease a car and i'm thinking about leasing a 2008 volvo s40 T5. I was wondering if anyone knows the current incentives/rebates that Volvo is offering. Also does anyone know what the current residual rate/money factor would be for a 24 month lease at 12,000 miles? The MSRP on the model i want is $33,900. Edmunds.com says i should pay around $31, 052 for that. Does that include any rebates volvo will offer, or is that the number i should aim to get them down to prior to including any rebates on top?
  
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hello,
I am a sales consultant for Volvo and own a S40 T5 myself. I leased my car last july I believe, and since I do work for Volvo I am very satisfied with the deal I was able to give myself. Let me share with you what I got b/c it doesnt seem like much b/c Volvo doesnt offer very much incentives for the T5. So don't be turned off if your dealer isn't very flexible (they're not given much room). My car is the 2007 S40 T5 FWD at msrp of $33,005 and cap cost was $30,000. 36 months 15,000 miles per year I pay $472.00/month including tax with $500 down. So I guess what I'm saying to you is if you can beat this deal or match it, you've done very well for yourself. I know my dealership's gross profit on this car was NEGATIVE NEGATIVE! I love my car to death and wouldnt drive anything else and is definitly worth the money. I hopes this gives you a good idea where to start with negotiating. Good luck!

thanks for the info. I just got quoted on a 2008 s40 T-5 MSRP 33,000 with a net cap of 28,000 which i was happy with. The surprise for me was that on a 36 month lease at 12,000 miles they are only giving me a 43% residual. That seems really low to me. The interest rate is ok at 3%. All in all at 0 down it is $460 a month with tax which seems like an ok deal, but i was hoping to get it around $430 with tax

an update on the deal for this car, if anyone cares or has an opinion on it i would appreciate any help.
 
 I talked with the dealer and got him down a little. The MSRP is 33,000. They dropped it to 31,000 (invoice is 30,800). Then they took off the $6000 incentive so it comes down to 25,000 (but you have to have $995 in volvo/bank fees so the Net Cap is 25995). As for a net cap i think that is a very good deal. However, to get the $6000 off i have to go through volvo's outside lender who screws me with the residual and the money factor. the residual rate is 43% and the money factor is .00202 (or 4.92%).
 
when you calculate it out, see below, at $0 down, it comes to about $408 a month pre-tax and 429 with 5% sales tax (MA) for a 36 month lease at 12,000 miles.
  
MSRP- 33,014 x .43= 14196
25995 - 14196= 11, 798
11, 798/36= 327.95
25995 + 14196= 40191 x .00202= 81
  
327 + 81= 408
  
408 x .05 = 20 in tax a month
  
408 + 20= 429 a month with tax with $0 money down
  
this seems like a decent deal to me, any opinions? does anyone think i can get them to drop it a little more (ie from 31,000 to say 30,000 or 30,500)?

Do they have turn in fees? If so, how much. I made the mistake of not paying attention to that....its gonna cost me a whopping 650 bucks to turning my car at the nd of the lease. Personally I think the deal sucks. Cars with bad residuals and high MFs make leases because it essentially eats away all the discounts they give you. S40 seems to be a car you should buy (assuming you love it) instead of lease. I'd rather pay a drive-off of around $1000 and drive away with an Acura TL for a similar monthly.

Does anyone know the March numbers for the 2.4i? Also does Volvo have any specials for current Volvo owners?

Hi paulsaz. It's great that you are able to purchase, or in this case lease I guess, the S50 that you want through the X-Plan. As you know, this guarantees that you will get a great price without having to haggle. I don't believe that Volvo is currently offering any loyalty cash on this model, but it does have a $500 cash incentive on leases of it through Volvo Finance. Volvo Finance is currently running a special lease program on base versions of this car. It you were to lease a base 2008 S40 2.4i through Volvo Finance right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value would be .00008 and 47%, respectively.
