I guess I'l start this discussion. Anyways I started on the internet and began sending emails all the dealers that had links. In california theirs alot to choose from here. Then wait for those offers to come through. I think I was lucky, I kept going back and forth with several dealers. The problem was, was dealing on what C70 they had on hand. I was looking for a Celeste blue with dark interior but found I would have to wait after I made an order. But didn't want to wait so I told myself If I wanted a C70 I have to get what the dealer had at the best price. Well I lucked out, after going back and forth for C70's with colors I didn't want I got the best price for one, 45,700.00 with everything on it. Then almost ready to go down to this dealer I got a message from a dealer I thought that wouldn't deal. But then after I told them what price I got they agreed, and guess what It was a Black with Black Interior, yea I did. Well I have had for a month and a half and have over 1500 miles on it. The car is solid and well worth all the trouble.

In order to have price comparisons between countries:
  
In France we have also three levels of trim and as previously said 4 engines: prices are in euros
1 euro = 1.25 dollar
  
Sorry for the format but I don't know how to do it better
  
                          Kinetic Momentum Summum
C70 D5 180 ch Geartronic 39950 41450 45250
C70 2.4L 140 ch 33900 35400 39200
C70 2.4i 170 ch 36600 38100 41900
C70 T5 220 ch ----- 42500 46300
  
Momentum is Kinetic +
Haverdal seats
Aluminium incrustations and central console
electrochrome mirror
rain detector
4 lockable spaces
Hook for groceries net (probably what people are wondering regarding the hook on the passenger seat)
audio commands on the steering wheel
back parking radar
  
Summum is Momentum +
  
Perle or Metallised paint
bi-xenon lights and dynamic ajustment of the range
high pressure cleaning lights
17" Sadira 215/50 wheels
full leather seats
electrical and memorised adjustments for driver and passenger seats
heated front seats
external mirrors can be put along the body of the car electrically and they have lights
Volvo alarm with movements and inclination sensors
  
I will provide options packs and pack accessories prices on request if somebody is interested.
  
These are prices all taxes included
  
In my case:
  
C70 D5 Summum 45250
removal engine type on the back 0
temporary spare tire 0
wood steering weel 400
fake wood incrustation gearbox stick 75
fake wood incrustation console and handles 0
windblocker + front radar 950
registration papers 348
Discount -1023
Preparation of the car free
  
total 46000
  
As you can see I was able to negotiate a discount of €1023
free preparation of the car and the dealership bought back my previous car €16300 (€400 above blue book value)
  
Even if I consider having obtained a reasonable deal it is still much more expensive than in the US... and I dont talk about gas/diesel price.

A Very Good Mistake... by cricket4

I requested the Premium Package, Dynaudio, Climate Package and Bluetooth. Because of the cost, I decided to get a manual transmission instead of automatic ($1,295). The car is in the showroom at the dealership (arrived two days ago) and as I was adjusting the seat I noticed there was no clutch pedal. Then I realized the car as an AUTOMATIC! It seems the sales person (who is no longer there but was not my rep) that actually placed the order had made a mistake and ordered the automatic instead of the manual. The manager asked if I am happy with the automatic and, of course, I said yes. So they said the would not charge me for it and they would eat the cost!! Wow! They are a great dealership. And I am happy!

That is amazing - I guess you are one of those who could fall in horse manure and come up smelling of roses - well done! Of course, you could have pushed your luck a little and suggested they throw in a sweetner to make you happy - or was that asking too much after they had seen your mile-wide grin?
 
My dealer fitted the Volvo Bluetooth for me - the first they had done (previously using an audio specialist to fit a non Volvo system) - and are so impressed that they have fitted the Volvo system to their own cars.
 
By the way - I don't want to go down the price comparison path again, however, it's interesting to note that here in the UK, the Geartronic autobox is an option at £1250 - which equates to roughly $2450!!

Actually, I did have the nerve to ask them to sweeten the pot (even with my mile-wide grin)! I asked my dealer rep if the dealership gives gifts to buyers like the Mercedes place next door. She jokingly replied along the lines of "we did give you a gift - an automatic transmission." Of course, that is true but I still asked if I could get all weather floor mats as a gift, too (it doesn't hurt). They don't give gifts for Volvos (even though they also own the Mercedes place - bigger mark up at Mercedes). So my boss (great guy that he is) bought me some as a car-warming gift! Woo hoo... yeah, I'm smellin' like roses!

That figures!
 
Just checked out your forum profile and was amused by your bio - "Totally Jonesing for the C70". Guess what - I'm a Jones (as in Tom Jones - a Welsh name if ever there was one!)

Uh oh... does this mean that my having a Volvo C70 mean I'm now also "keeping up with the Joneses"?

Nope, you'll have yours before me so I'm the one playing 'catch up' - and that just ain't cricket (another English phrase meaning it just ain't right).
 
Good luck and enjoy.

Don't have it yet but scheduled for 2/23/07 delivery in Gothenberg. The details of our long story are mostly in post #67 in the "meet the members" thread. I was glad not to have to pay a premium over sticker. We live in an affluent area in northern New Jersey where folks are very car conscious. As of today, I've seen three on the road, all in my town - a white pearlescent, red, and black. I actually followed the white one for awhile though I had to continue on when the driver parked. I didn't want to be pegged as a stalker, even though i was actually stalking the car! My dealer has been excellent, and has been an advocate for me with the OSD department, even calling in favors owed. He will get a gift of some kind from us when we return from Sweden. We will get the car in the states in late March or early April, just in time for spring.
