2007 S60 Loaner (2.5T FWD with Climate and Premium) with 7000 miles for $25,795 plus TTL
-or-
Brand new 2008 S60 (2.5T FWD with Climate and Premium) for $28,995 plus $99 fee plus TTL
Any thoughts/help/ideas/pearls of wisdom?
Thanks
That makes it pretty even... If anything would tip me one way or the other, it would be the full 4-year warranty on the new one.. I would guess that the warranty clock has already started on the demo..

Do you think I have more negotiating room with the 2007 loaner or the 2008 new? Have you seen better prices/deals than this?
Assuming you are keeping the car for 3-4 years, the higher mileage will keep the re-sale price difference to a minimum..
Given all that, I'd have to go with the demo..
I don't follow the Volvos enough to tell you if those are good quotes.. I'm only looking in relative terms to each other.. As a general rule, demos usually aren't that great of a deal... and, they are harder to peg, because knowing what sort of incentives, dealer allowances, etc., on a demo are harder to find out about..
But, the delta between the two looks better than on most demo/new car comparisons that I've seen... On any new car deal, you'll eventually get to a number that no dealer will go below... On a demo, you may run into a deal where they want to get rid of it, and may be willing to take a loser deal on it.. Of course, you'll have to figure that out during negotiations..
Does Volvo have a CPO program? If so, that could be a negotiating point on the demo.. A nice extended warranty from Volvo would push me over the top.. Especially with your mileage needs, that would come in handy..
Good luck,

I paid 29,000- it was a one owner car that was a lease.
thanks
I also think about the 2007 S60 with 6000-10000 mile loan car at dealership. How much is a fair of good price to buy one? They are asking 28000. But given the depreciation amount on true cost sheet from edmunds it should be lower than 26000. Also the 2007 does not have those $4000 off from new 2008 models. I haven't discussed more with the dealer yet but I am thinking choosing one of those or even another brand. Of course a particular car and how the deal is are the bases make decision.
I will almost undoubtedly lease again. 15K miles per year, 3-4 years (max). There were some early comments about discounts on Volvo leases of $5,000 to 7,000 if I remember correctly. (Should have re-read the posts before posting this one!)
My local dealer has a car that I have not seen yet, but their web site shows an MSRP of $27,200 so I am assuming it is optioned close to what I am looking for.
Can anyone share with me what I might expect the capitalized cost of the car to be on a lease? (Hope I said that correctly - basically "what SHOULD a car like this approximately cost?")
I want something below $400 per month and I am willing to put up a couple of dollars (not much, since it is a lease) in order to make things work.
Any insights on what I can expect or should target are GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks, Keith
opinions please
Thanks
Certainly it is a time to slowly and carefully consider your automotive options and decisions.
48,000 miles and seems to be in great condition with having only 1 owner. They are asking $16,209. This would be my first Volvo and I really enjoyed the test drives today. Does this seem like a good deal, opinions? Thanks!

The car is as follows-
2008 Volvo S60 2.5T
White/Taupe Leather
Premium Pkg- Sunroof, Pwr Passenger Seat, Geartronic, Wood Inlays
Climate Pkg- Heated Seats, Headlamp Washers, Rain Sensor
19,500 miles
Perfect, As-New Condition
$21,990
Balance of 48mo/50k warranty (2.5yrs/30k miles remaining)
I'm very tempted to snatch this one up for that price! The only thing I'd like to be different is the standard alloy wheels- it has the 16" EURUS and eventually I'd love to upgrade to 17" or 18" alloys.
The remaining warranty is reassuring. Are there any potential issues with this model/powertrain that I should be cautious about?
Thanks!

Catching onto your message late & am not sure if you already made a decision (most likely), BUT that seems a great deal to me and wouldn't hesitate. I bought a 2006 S60 in 2007 with 9.5K miles for $23.4K - which was great deal at the time, especially for SoCal prices. I have had absolutely no regrets - was considering a MB C280 at the time, glad for my S60!
2008 Volvo S60 2.5T ASR
Exterior: Silver Metallic
Interior: Graphite leather
Transmission: Auto
Mileage: 7,605
Premium package with moon roof & power passenger seat
Climate package with rain sensors & (?) headlight washers (?)
Asking price is $22,995.
The Carfax is clean & clear - it appears the car was a rental car. I know some about Volvo, but not much (haven't bought a car in 3+ years, and wasn't really looking at Volvo at the time). What is the forum consensus? Good deal or should we try and negotiate a bit more off?
With that in mind, wouldn't it make sense that the market is going to end up being flooded with all of these off lease S60 2.5, 2.5 AWD, and R AWD vehicles in the next 12 months at what seems like fire sale prices?
We have an S40 coming off lease in April, that had an original MSRP of 27,XXX and has a lease end residual of 13k - we will most certainly be buying it at lease end, but are also looking to maybe add an S60 AWD in the next year if the price was as low as it seems it could be. Thoughts?
Usually, I'm not a big fan of former fleet cars (especially rentals), but this might be an exception to the rule. I know that Hertz used to offer products from Ford's luxury brands (Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo, Lincoln) as their "Prestige Collection". Typically, they were rented by more upscale customers than typical rentals. So the cars should be in very good condition, especially with such low mileage!
The original 4-year/50,000-mile warranty is still in effect, correct?
My initial reasearch suggests that I can get an extended warranty (4 yr, 50,000 miles) for about $3,300.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Considering that the car is out of warranty, you may want to consider buying one.
I have a '07 S60 2.5T with 31k coming off lease in 2 months and wondering if this would be a good buy or not.
It seems that the Willow Green cars are priced around $1k lower than similar '07 models in other colors...at least that's what I've been seeing.
Whats a good price?
And, has anyone heard of a dashboard glare issue with the light leather interior?
Here's an example:
2006 Volvo S60 2.5T FWD
$17,900
25,548 miles
Willow Green Metallic
What would be reasonable for the car? I was thinking somewhere in the $15,500-$16,500 neighborhood... The dealer has several other 2006 models ranging from $16,800 (Silver metallic, 30,000 miles) to $18,900 (silver metallic, different wheels, 11,098 miles)
I went and looked at several S60s on this dealer's lot when the dealer was closed one Sunday and found them to be in decent cosmetic shape. No additional details, though, for now... I'm just interested in ball park figures on '06s.
And the dealer also has an '07 with 25,927 miles for $18,800.. The listing says the car has a rear spoiler, bi-xenon headlights, heated seats, and sirius satellite radio.
There is also a 2008 with 51,000 miles listed for $18,800. Next to the '07s and the '06s, this one seems like it isn't a very good deal.
Would the '07 be a better deal? It has a black leather interior that I'd rather avoid being in the South... I prefer the taupe interior on the '06s the dealer has. What difference was there between the 2 years?
Also, none of the Volvos on this dealer's lot are certified. What are the odds of asking the dealer about certifying a specific car?
If you're concerned about longer-term reliability, you should consider a "Certified Pre-Owned" S60. They are often well-kept lease vehicles that are turned in after their 24-36 months term is over. Volvo has the best CPO program in the business with 6-year/100,000-mile coverage (from original in-service date when new).
Good luck!

Tempra Spare Kit
MSRP: $35,325
My price: $32,800 (including volvo loyalty).
They also "over allowed" on my 2007 Lexus trade by at LEAST $1,000.... so I basically got the Volvo for $31,800 including my Volvo $1,000 loyalty.
Thanks for any info. I just want to have a price to shoot for!
32800 is BEFORE tax and tags. In this case I didn't pay any tax, because the trade-in value on the lexus was actually higher than the sale price of the car..... but this is pre tax.
The s60's are very hot right now, so don't expect a MASSIVE discount. I would shoot for around 3k off of sticker (or 4k if you have Volvo loyalty bonus) on a 2012 T5 model.
It's a great car... good luck!! Let me know how you make out!! Where are you planning to buy??
Thanks!!!!
