#17 of 63 A bit of Good News by jeckles Mar 03, 2007 (9:14 am)
Our Volvo dealer graciously forfieted one on their C70s so we could enjoy the OSD program. So we are back on track to pick up our C70 in Sweden late May or early June.   The C70 isn't eligible for many discounts, but we still get the free trip to Sweden, metalic paint at no charge, and free shipping back to the States. All in all a pretty good deal for someon who likes to travel...
#18 of 63 Anyone purchase below sticker? by clarku Mar 25, 2007 (4:57 am)
Trying to negotiate on an in stock C70 in the northeast which has been on the dealer's lot for about 2 months and they seem very resistant to go below sticker price. Wondering if others are experiencing this as well...

Replying to: clarku (Mar 25, 2007 4:57 am) We got ours through the Overseas Delivery Program where the prices are set by Volvo. We paid full price even though most OSD Volvos are discounted 10-15%. The factory cannot produce enough to meet worldwide demand. That is why your dealer believes he can get full sticker. My dealer had one that was not optioned up that he got in a trade with another dealer for one that was loaded. He says that he has gotten a lot of orders from customers who have seen it. Maybe it's the same with your dealer, in fact - maybe it IS your dealer! We are in Northern New Jersey.

Replying to: clarku (Mar 25, 2007 4:57 am) Actually found another dealer that offered $500 discount off the bat on either of the 2 C70s they had in stock. We'll see if we can get it a bit lower... Replies to this message: bobparis (Aug 28, 2007 10:50 pm) rschleicher (Aug 29, 2007 11:02 am)
#21 of 63 Warranty Question by jeckles Apr 13, 2007 (12:43 pm)
We are still a few weeks away from final payment through OSD. Is this when the dealer will push the extended warranties, paint protection, etc? So far the dealer has not mentioned any of these products yet, except when I asked about the wheel and tire warranty (which we have an interest in because of the 45-series tires).   Are all Volvo dealers selling the the warranty packages for the same price? Has anyone else checked on the cost of the Wheel & Tire Warranty for Volvo? Our dealer quoted $595.   The warranty is non-prorated and covers any repair or replacement costs for both the wheels and the tires for up to 4yr and 40mo. The warranty is issued by Volvo, and not a third party (according to dealer).   Originally I heard it was around $399, so now I am curious if this is like the extended warranties, where the dealer makes a lot of money selling an insurance policy (and might have a bit of wiggle room on the price).

Replying to: jeckles (Apr 13, 2007 12:43 pm) There is a certain amount of wiggle room usually. However, Volvo did recently increase the cost of the tire warranty. Apparently by quite a bit.

Replying to: clarku (Mar 29, 2007 2:44 pm) Purchased my Celestial Blue 2007 C70 on May 15, 2007. Car was fully-loaded with an MSRP of $49,377. Being in Los Angeles, I have the luxury of having about a dozen Volvo dealers within reasonable driving distance. For a $50,000 purchase, I don't mind driving an hour. Checked the dealer websites and found 4 that had the exact car I wanted. Emailed the Sales Manager at each store with a "song & dance" that my wife mentioned to her boss at [fill-in name of big company] that I was looking to buy a Volvo. The boss told her to have me call their vehicle department manager who said he could get me a quote since their maintenance fleet and outside sales autos are sold & serviced by a certain huge Ford dealer that also has a Volvo franchise. Quoted a C70 in Flint Grey w/ an MSRP of $49,377 for an out-the-door [including tax & license etc.] price of $50,789. Then related that I would prefer to have Celestial Blue and asked if they could they match this deal. Three of the dealers replied that I should buy the car in Flint Grey since they couldn't match the price. The fourth one to reply asked if I was ready to do the deal that day and when I replied "yes," he said he would start prepping the car and asked what time I would arrive. The process of sending the emails took about 15 minutes and doing the deal at the car lot took about an hour and a half. Price of the vehicle before fees was $46,500 which represents a discount off sticker of $2,877. I was very happy and got to exercise my creative writing skills.

Replying to: bobparis (Aug 28, 2007 10:50 pm) BobParis - very clever use of a reverse "bait and switch" tactic! (Getting a price on a Flint Grey car - probably the least in-demand color - and then getting it matched on the car you really want!)   I would assume that there are some OK-to-good deals to be had on remaining 2007's - I also think that there is more negotation room on C70's ever since the new BMW 3-series convertibles came out.   In my case, I got a good deal by accident, due to a dealer with integrity. I had ordered a car in late November or early December (2006, but a 2007 model), and was expecting it to arrive in early-to-mid February. In mid-January I get a call from the dealer telling me my car order didn't get placed properly. He tells me that he can get me an identical car, with everything I ordered, plus two things I didn't order: Dynaudio and the 18" wheels package. I am smelling bait and switch at hearing this, but after I argue about not wanting to pay for things I didn't really want (at least not at that price), he tells me he will honor the original price (which had been MSRP for what I originally ordered). I was still expecting some sort of other shoe to drop when I went to pick up the car, but there was no attempt to change the price on me. So I paid MSRP for the original order configuration, and basically got Dynaudio and the 18" wheels package thrown in for free. (Note that this was still a bit more than the new car's invoice, but a very good deal at the time.)

#26 of 63 Price for a 2008 by nickc5 Feb 01, 2008 (7:34 am)
I am on Long Island and am in the process of negotiating for a 2008 Ice White w/ the premium package and climate package. I am trading in a 2007 Civic EX Sedan w/ 8,200 miles on it. The dealer wants to give me $14,500.00 for the Civic, the price of the C70 is $39,300. I plan on trying to negotiate another $1,000.00 off of the price either through getting more for the trade in or lowering the price of the C70 or a combination of both. Any thoughts on this?   Thank you, Replies to this message: bobparis (Feb 01, 2008 10:25 am) nickc5 (Feb 01, 2008 10:42 am) volvomax (Feb 01, 2008 11:37 am) and 8 more...
