Is $32,000 for 06-V70 2.5 T with Premium pkg + Convenience pkg + Climate pkg in metalic color ( including all incentives) is a good deal ?
Need to make a quick decision. Thanks
The XC90, naturally, has great resale. It is the latest and the best. Couples "making it" just have to have one in their three car garage. The resale on the XC70 is one category lower. Hmm. This lower resale percentage makes a used XC an attractive proposition. Afterall, it can do everything an XC90 can do and is a lot less money.
Cleveland Ohio area is about 38000, the best I heard.
Is there any obvious differences between the two that would make our decision easier? We are being quoted $33340 for a 2006 XC70 w/Premium & Climate packages, and about $32500 for the V70 with the same packages. We are also being quoted $30100 for a V70 service loaner with 4200 miles on the clock.
Also we are considering a 2007 VW Passat Wagon 2.0T, any thoughts on that vehicle?
Any help would be most apprciated, we plan to buy very soon.
Finally, stay away from VW. The reason that I got a new car was becuase I won a 2-year lawsuit against VW for my Touareg lemon. Having been in the service dept. 20 times, I heard a lot of horror stories from other VW owners. Cars look great, drive fine, but they fall apart and the brains of the car are totally unreliable. My two cents.
I would go ahead and pull the trigger on the XC...you won't be dissapointed.
Our thoughts- Really like the xc70 but already have a xc90 (sort of wish I'd considered the xc70 first time around- I think it has more cargo space in the rear, also like the v70 and how it drove- felt sort of sporty with the 2.5t (Does anyone know how it is in the snow?) and finally I have always had VW's and I like their drive, especially this 3.6 4 motion- it was great, but the SEATS are terrible- what has VW done? My 1999 passat has better seats. Also the first year of the model run scares us a bit, so it is a question of which volvo?
Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.
I just finished a lawsuit against VW for my first-model-year Touareg...I won...but it was painful. Let someone else be the guinea pig.
Does anyone think this is isn't a good deal? We think it is, but we don't have the certified preowned 6y/100K warranty. We are also looking at some service loaners and low mileage used XC70s and V70s at a Volvo dealer, including a 2004 XC70 wtih 46 K for about the same price. We're debating if the service warranty from a Volvo dealer is worth getting a car that has 25K more miles on it. Also, we have a quote of around $30500 for a 2006 V70; posts on this site suggest that the extra price for the XC70 is worth it. Any advice is welcome, thanks.
Thanks
It has gone to the dealer for only regular service intervals and a broken passenger side seat belt which would not retract.
The MPG is anywhere from 18-28 depending on road conditions and from someone who likes power the 2.5T has been fine. The car is tank like in only positive terms.
No complaints.
The car still gets noticed by others being black w/ taupe interior and the Xenia wheels. The HID's are fine once I raised them a bit.
Now what to get next? Probably a sport sedan!
Just got a lease quote on a 2006 XC70 with Premium Package & Climage Package
MSRP $40,500
Initial Cap Cost $28,102 (A-Plan price)
Adjusted Cap Cost $28,102
12K miles per year
Residual $14,985
Interest 0.0025%
42-month Term
$420.03 Monthly payment
Total due at signing $2,125
Is this a good deal for A-Plan pricing? I am in the Northeast (VT/NH area). Brand new to this forum and Volvo in general. Any help is much appreciated!!
As a side note, an approximately 50% residual value after almost 4 years sounds a bit high. (Actually the residual is MORE than 50% for LESS than 4 years.) Although, I could see myself paying 15K for a four year old (i.e., 2002) XC in good shape.
MSRP $41,350
Cap Cost $30,676
12K Miles/yr
Residual $17,367
36 Month Lease
Cap Cost reduction $1,049
Monthly $466 (before CA sales tax)
Looks like you've done a little bit better on the cap cost.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help.
Edmunds says Invoice & TMV are apprx $38,000 - think I can get it even less with this push to get them off the lots? Any idea how much I should negotiate for?
Thanks for any help you can give.
I'm very interested in your findings and where you are looking.
Thanks!
2006 V70R
Premium package
Cold weather package
Metallic paint
Child seats
Interior air quality
TMV: $39,543
CASH to CUSTOMER: $2,000
CASH to DEALER: $3,500
So with Convience Package, Premium Package and Climate Package you can get a car with MSRP of $43K for $36K.
Cash to Customer $2000
Cash to Dealer $3250
Cash to Dealer of $1000 (for previous owners of Volvos)
and an extra Cash to Dealer of $500 for financing through Volvo.
That's a total of $6750 of incentives. Assuming you would have been starting off at around $1000 above invoice for TMV without any incentives, would that put the new TMV around $34K (provided you own another Volvo and are willing to finance through Volvo?
Thanks.
They came in under everyone else in the Seattle area by almost $2000. Everything other than delivery was taken care of via email or the phone.
The internet guys at Topping made this an excellent buying experience.
After having the car a little over a week now, it is truly a great car. Nice to drive and really looks great on the road.
While the above may explain why a lot of Volvo owners are upset with 1K brake jobs, it doesn't explain why MB owners also are upset with their service/repair experience. Maybe the answer to that one is partially, and only partially, a function of the MB owner demographic?
Good for you - that's the lowest I've heard by $5g's.
I feel like an idiot paying the same price for a 2006 with no convenience package.
Were these incentives on leases or outright purchases?
I've done a ton of research and know an owner of a Volvo dealership and there was never $11K in incentives for a purchase (or lease for that matter).
Maybe you bought a demo?
It sounds like a great deal no matter how complicated or what occured to make the transaction happen.
Already own a 2004 base model - 58,000 flawless miles, rock-solid in snow and inclement weather - it's been a terrific ownership experience.
Can anyone offer insight on what 'out the door' prices are for '07 XC70's (premium/convenience/climate/bluetooth)purchased in ME/NH/North of Boston? Are there any Volvo factory rebates at the moment?
Many thanks!
22K the throttle motor went while driving 75mph on I95 - harrowing experience. When the throttle motor goes, the car 'freezes' - no steering, brakes, anything. Somehow I managed to inch it over to the breakdown lane without gettting killed. I was a sitting duck. Still can't believe I'm alive.
Then the transmission died at 69K - after wrangling with corporate for a month Saab begrudgingly picked up half of the bill 4K. Generous of them.
Then the car began to really fall apart - AC shot, fuel pump, battery replaced 4 times, name virtually any engine sensor. Leaving out additional minor issues as well that were reason enough to loathe the vehicle. Been towed four times in fourteen months - not what you want when you drive 65 mi to/from downtown Boston every day.
Our '04 XC70 has been a flawless family vehicle so opting to remain loyal to the brand.
