We got an 06 T5, w/auto and premium pkg for about 700 more in August so I think the dealer could do better.
My wife decided that a Civic EX gave her what she wanted for about 8K less...thx again
Automatic
Select package
Sport package
Msrp: $28,823
Invoice: $26,988
Paid: $25,000 + tax title
good luck all
Pre-conditions:
a) i was looking for a car for day-to-day commute and for family.
b) I'm not a fan of sport car
c) the car should fit with my age range - 30s, not 20s or 40s
d) I want basic configration, a car with mininum options, only required option is automatic trans
e)the car should have good value
d)we never owned or drove both of them before
comparisons:
Volvo S40 vs Passat 2.0T
1) Final price : S40: 23.5K (invoice - 500) + tax + lis; 7 to 8% financing rate for 60 months
2.0T: 23.8K (invoice - 300) + tax + lis; 4.9% for 60 months - this guy wins!
2) Exterior design: give my vote to S40 but my wife likes 2.0T more - according to her, the square blue logo with a long line crossed over realy screwed the design. So 2.0T wins (... or my wife wins ...)
3) Interior: S40 - Cloth; out-of-date green/dark screens; less functional components; plastic feel finish; unacceptable audio system
2.0T - Leatherette; contemporary and very detail design everywhere; well built; roomier; better sounds from audio system
4) Performance: "T" realy makes difference, response and drive fast with 2.0T
Engine & road noise came from 2.0T is much less than S40; 2.0T has quieter and smoother ride
5) Safety: Volvo has better historic reputation but not sure about it at present. My understanding is newer design means safer car, the world getting better because people are learning from past and making it better for future.
6) Other matters: 2.0T is built in Germany while the other one Belgium
Volvo is a better brandname but it's owned by Ford anyway...
More negative news have been coming out from Ford ...
Conclusion: the new designed passat is worth to give a try, lots of detailed practical new features will catch you such as self-drain unbralle holder on the side of driver's door, electic park braking, hill-hold assistant and the best designed remote control, of which provide you unique way to turn on/off your car by inserting and pushing it like a button.
Volvo does have a good exterior design but it appears they didn't pay too much attention on interior, all the componments still keep the same as my old 2001 Chevellet...
I just got a 06' S40 2.4I automatic, with leather seating, Select Pkg. & Sport Packg. for $27,477.00 I got it at Bozzani Volvo in Covina, CA. I higly recommend this dealer.
AWD
Premium package
Dynamic trim pkg
Auto
Climate / Bixeon pkg
metallic paint
Invoice = $33,676
MSRP = $36,122
selling at $30,000
As this is a 2005 model, I'm trying to determine what a fair price is for the car. I offered $29,000 but the dealer said they have no room to budge. Also they have it priced below their invoice, does Volvo provide any incentives to their dealers to sell previous year cars, after the turn of the new year? We like the car, but we would probably buy one without AWD, and definetly not the Dynamic Trim package, if we bought a 2006.
We are also looking at the Audi A3 hatchback. Its more fun to drive, better gas mileage, but to stay around $30,000 we'd have to limit our options to turbo, automatic and sunroof. The '05 S40 has more features for the same price, but I'm just not sure $30,000 is the right price.

I got the car for $20k and after tax and fees, it still came out to less than $22k.

Anyone else getting great deals on the S40s?? I'm in the NoVA area. Thanks.
I might go with the lease for MSRP of $28810. Lease for $249 a month with $1,000 down for 27 months. (for the 2.4i with sunroof, automatic, Select and Climate Package).
Sound like a good deal?
buy out at end of lease is around $18k.
Don't blast me, I'm just trying to understand....
A. Still need TTL if you purchase correct?
B. If we apply the same down ($1000) and I negotiate purchase price of 24500 ($4,000 off MSRP), I will still need to finance 23500. I think the finance charges of the first 2 years to be over $2000 alone. Also I calculate the monthly payments at $470 (4.9% 60 months).
If I lease and then buy (using the offer mentioned earlier with no additional negotiating), I'm looking at a total 25500 (1000 down also includes first month). (1000 more than if I purchase from the get go, but with finance charges it is actually less. (yeah, we will need to finance 18k or so if we buy it, but we also have the option of turning it (assuming we are not over milage etc...)..
So in the end, to me it doesn't look like leasing is any more than buying, (in fact possibly less)..
Does this make sense? Is my logic correct? I haven't leased before so this would be my first time.
I cannot answer or comment on your other issues -- I simply don't know enough about it. There are leasing forums in Edmunds. Perhaps you should take the question there if you want to get some opinions.
In the end, if you have an accountant, or someone who can advise you things financial, you should ask him/her (I'm not rich enough to have one of those).
Good luck.

Any help with this question would be greatly appreciated. We already have a Mazda3, which is the same body as the S40 and I prefer that size. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Might want to buy as early as this coming August with the end of year models.
The Sandman :sick:
Anyway, that's all... Thanks again for your response.
Greg
What kind of warranty does the S40 have now? Hopefully it's longer than the 3/36 on most brands. Our 3 has a 4/50 but Mazda went back to the 3/36 for 2007 I've heard in the Mazda 3 Forum.

By the way, does anyone have a manual that is unhappy with foot space? Seemed like not much space to maneuver your feet around when I first got in but was okay when I drove it.
Can someone give me the actual A1 Credit Money Factor (I think there is a special offer right now) and Residual on a 36 month, 15k miles a year lease;
1) 2006 S40 T5 (fwd not awd)
2) 2006 S40 2.4I (Select, Sport Packages if that matters)
3) Can you residualize the spoiler/body cladding? (Since its a dealer add on?)
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

I was quoted $25,743 on a brand new '06 S40 2.4i Automatic, Barents Blue with Select and Climate packages. I need to close this deal quickly...Is this a reasonable offer or should we try to get it lower? Thanks!
I just wanted to share the deal I just got with everyone for your information. I just leased a 2006 Volvo 2.4i with leather, the Select package and an automatic transmission for a total of $584 down and $353 per month including tax and gap insurance. This took place in West Palm Beach.
The down payment was basically the first month's payment and the security deposit.
Good luck to you all,
Chris
Just wanted to share my great purchasing experience and deal made at Fremont Volvo (SF Bay Area).
We just purchased a new '06 S40 2.4i, flint gray, automatic, select package, sport package, and leather seats for $24K (MSRP $30K). We had two dealers offer us $6K off MSRP, but this dealership made the entire deal over the internet/phone AND gave me a great deal on my trade. Also, their internet sales person was very professional and a true pleasure to deal with.
Thanks to everyone for the information being shared here.
I am turning in a 2003 Saturn L200 and hope to get roughly $8000 dollars. The buyout is 10,000 so this leaves me 2000 dollars in the negative. The dealer told me Volvo switched the incentive this week and that it is no longer 4,000 dollars through a private bank but only 3,000 dollars and through the volvo financial......
So I will be up only 1,000 dollars because of the trade in taking away from the incentive. I plan on putting another 1000 dollars down.....SO these are the numbers:
36-month lease. Market Value of car is 24,735. I will be given a 1000 dollar incentive and putting 1000 dollars down therefore the car will have a cap cost of 22735 roughly. The money factor given was .00091 and the Residual Factor was 53. The monthly payment offered is 363.00 dollars.
Can somebody please tell me if this a good deal, makes sense, or if I should be negotiating more. I am new at this lease game and have tried the calculations out. Some guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
PS...I am from NY and the sales tax is 8.75 if that also makes a difference...thanks again.

When do the 07's start arriving on the lots, might be able to do better when the 07's start shipping...

We found that every dealer was offering a different Volvo incentive. One dealership was $4K off, then another at$5K off. We left the $5K dealership to discuss further and they called us the next morning and said the incentives just changed and now the car was $6K off (6/7/06). But, they wanted me to roll over $2K on my trade so we shopped the same price via email to the internet manager at another dealership. He responded quickly and made the deal without seeing the trade or us.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Since Memorial Day, my little Swede has made it through the daily commute and a 1,000 mile road trip with no problems!
I'm looking at a S40, sticker is $29.498...besides the $3,000 rebate, how much more can i expect to have the dealer knock off???
don
Mine was an absolute base model and the sticker was $24,450.00. So I'm not sure how much you could get your dealer to take off the S40 you are wanting to buy. Have you checked the TMV of the S40 you are looking at on edmunds.com?
Hope this helps!

Been looking around, i'm seeing $4800 off right now which sounds pretty good, going to wait till late july, and see if it gets any better.

Audio package-S
Climate Package
Convenience Package
Bi-Xenon Headlights

Dealer is Asking for $27,950. Have not had any further negotiating.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
darcars in Rockville,md are knocking $5,230.00 off all their new 06 S40's regardless of sticker. Your deal is only $500 more for an 05!! not good enough in my opinion.
In my opinion, an 05 should be several thousand dollars more off.
