If I were you I would not even consider to get a Volvo, read my postings from before the 2008 XC70 is just a pool of problems, I get something new every other week and of course Volvo US or the dealership could care less. I imagine their sales are down so badly due to quality and reliability issues that they have to put the 5 year Complimentary Maintenance Program but unless you are willing to go to the shop every other week and suffer your car experience throughout your lease term I would not purchase a Volvo. Check Consumer reports or Edmunds and you will see what I am talking about.

XC60 Lease help needed by red35

We are completely frustrated... I am trying to negotiate a lease with the local dealer and feel like I am getting the "run-around" I can not seem to get the lease numbers written down on paper from them - what it looks like I am getting is:
XC60 T6
MSRP $38200
Money Factor .00225 (is this good? I have Excellent credit)
Local tax 8.75%
Residual $13000 (this seems low to me)
$1861 down payment
monthly payment of $532
48 month lease
going through USB Leasing
 
I am happy to try to work with them but feel like I am not getting a "fair" deal...
 
There has been some double talk about USB "Buying down" the MSRP by $6000 - can you tell me what this might mean...
 
I have had two leases back to back with Volvo and have never had any issues in the past... same dealer...
 
I appreciate any help you can give -

Tire Debate by meteop34

I am leasing a 2007 XC70 and the lease is up in about 9 months. I now need to replace all 4 tires and have heard a lot of great reviews from XC70 owners on Nokian tires. All of these owners have upgraded the size from OEM 215/65/16 to 235/60/16.
 
Should I worry about paying a penalty when I return the car if the tire size is different from OEM?

Hi meteop34. It wouldn't hurt to check with the bank that you are leasing through to make certain, but generally speaking most banks don't care of a vehicle has different tires on it than the ones that it originally came with...as long as all four new tires match.

Buy or turn in? by jaa37jaa37

My parents have a 2007 XC70, and they're finishing a 30-month lease in Feb. The residual is $21,500. The car is in very good shape, and while I don't know the exact mileage right now, I'm certain it's under 20,000. Any idea whether I can expect the dealer to offer me a better deal on the residual? I read that dealer auction prices are pretty low right now.

I'm in the exact same situation....finishing a lease on a low mile 2007 XC70. I spoke with the bank (Wells Fargo) several times and they will not lower the residual (mine is $18,000). The car will easily sell for $22K or more so they have no incentive to make deals.

I just bought mine for $18,700 and tried to get the bank to go lower but they would not. Mine also only had 26,000 miles on it and I found nothing out there (including the new XC70) that was any better at that price. I also like the car and have a big dog that won't fit in most other stationwagons.
 
I think you can probably sell the car for around $22,000 (my refinance bank said it was worth) so $21,500 might be pushing it. If they need a wagon, I would look at Subaru Outback (to buy) or Passat if they just want to lease. At 21,500, their monthly payments wont be that different and they wont need to fix up the 3 year old car.

Thanks for the responses. Sounds like the $21,500 is a pretty decent price. If they decide not to keep it, it will probably be because they've decided to get a hybrid -- they don't *need* a wagon anymore, but I think they like the flexibility of having all that space when they want it.
I suppose there's no harm in trying to negotiate a better price...
